Apparently New London also a little hotbed of mob activity back in the day, likely an extension of the folks from Providence

Who said there’s still not a mob in Connecticut? 🧐

Pepperidge farms remembers

Dracula Drive is Velvet Street and is where the Melon Head tale takes place.

Lol fair enough, I guess seeing all of the replies as ‘the mob’ related, i went that direction.

Check his question again literally says a mob

I know bookies that still kick up to the Genovese out of Stamford. They don't operate on the level that they used to, but they are still a presence.

I am glad for you, that you've never had to watch someone die slow and ugly over many days. I have. It's the worst thing I've ever experienced.

Beg whatever gods you believe in that you never know what it's like to smell a loved one rotting while they slowly drown in their own fluids. That you don't watch their fingers blacken. That you're never there for those moments of confused semi-lucidity when they beg for help that isn't possible.

It is impossible to experience that horror without feeling a sort of shame that you're letting it happen. You wouldn't inflict it on a stranger's dog. You'd shoot it because that would be kindness.

He asked about “the mob”… not “a mob” 🤣

As close and connected as we are to NYC? Of course.

Pepperidge Farm remembers

The factory is staying.

"Historic Pepperidge Farm HQ to exit CT for NJ with 170 jobs; bakery plant to stay"

In the biggest Mob-connected case of recent years, Danbury garbage mogul James Galante pleaded guilty in 2008 to multiple racketeering charges in a wide-ranging, price-fixing scheme tied to the Genovese crime family. He was sentenced to 87 months in prison.

Only put it on in rooms you are occupying, don’t leave it on all day unless the temperature is really really cold .

Unplug appliances they draw electricity as well

If you have your own washer / dryer do laundry at night

I live in an old building everything is electric it sucks wish I never moved here . Summer it’s the AC , winter it’s the heat there’s maybe a month or two that my bill isn’t insane and I have UI

Inflation

Damn I know some people who have worked in the factory for many years, hope they can find work soon or can retire.

I forgot about them

Pepperidge Farm was in CT?? TIL

[deleted]

Lol.

The Pepperidge Farms estate is really beautiful.

ah, the good old days

Patriarcas out of Providence had some rackets in the state.

I’ve heard some stories about Franklin ave

There’s plenty more info online but at one point there was a homegrown mob (based out of New Haven i believe). Now it’s the New York families (mostly Genovese i think) that operate here.
