Footnote to the above cartoon:  A member of the Patriarca family (the crime bosses of Rhode Island) sent a letter to Don Bosquet (he drew that cartoon for the Providence Journal newspaper) complaining that he (Patriarca and family, I guess) “don’t look like that”.

I have eaten in Italian restaurants in Providence, RI and, trust me, they ALL look like that!  It’s like dining wih the cast of the “Sopranos”!

Yes, but the veal parmesan, the gravy! Also, if you had your car valet parked, you KNEW no one would mess with it while you were eating :-)

Ahhh.....”Red Gravy”.  Some people might think of that as “Spaghetti Sauce” but my Goombah, Mike, and I know better.  The eggplant parm is wicked good, too!  Not to mention Chicken Marsala.....

Kathy and I still shop at “Venda’s Ravioli” on Atwells Ave., Mike.

The rest of you might remember that when Tony Soprano wanted someone to “disappear” and the finger would never point to the Soprano family, he would call “the guys from Atwells Ave.”

Well, that’s a street in Providence, RI, with the best Italian restaurants in the known Universe.  It is also, then and probably now, still a Mob hangout.  And why not?  The food is great, and nobody, but nobody, asks questions........

If I recall from my time in (New) Jersey, Badda Bing was a local operation that specialized in the delivery of bodies - generally to rural locations.

They also had strict rules for what they would and would not do, but most long-time (New) Jersey residents understood those pretty well.

They didn't advertise much, but ran a mainly 'word of mouth' business.
