You think that's bad, how about the factory workers getting beat on for a cut of their checks. In the 30's during the depression in Pennsylavnia the mob used to wait outside the factories with baseball bats on payday. They would find these people a job upon arrival to the country and then collect their fee every week when they would get paid. My dads uncle died in an accident on a machine their in the 30's.

 

jeez skinny-that's 3 bad stories now. wow.

yeah i wouldn't want to be in debt to the Mob in any generation!

 

Here's a 4th, mulberry street has chinatown and little italy connected. My dads other uncle was out one night having beers with his buddies, this was around 1930. He sees a friend of his in a dispute with a chinese guy, they start fighting. He gets up to break up the fight and gets stabbed in the abdomen. It's late at night and they bring him to the hospital. The doctors leave him there to bleed and say they'll operate in the morning. In the moring he had expired.

Pure evil

 

omg man that's awful. they should've sued them! that's tragic.

 

so out of all the people looking for her, it was her Father that found her? And he didn't go with her that night to run? Is he a suspect?

 

My grandfather lived in new york from 1923 to '34 before my dad was even born. When he died in 1964 in italy they found a cheque written by a lawyer from a new york bank for $250K. This remains a family mystery to this day, they tried looking for the bank but it shuttered during the depression. Maybe this could be a lawsuit from either brother, the one in the industrial accident or the hospital.

 

I'm thinking the father knew the route they took to go jogging. I wouldn't want to be the one that questions the dad as a possible suspect though. The video of family ripping into the killer is pretty chilling.

 

i didn't see the video, but i've seen too many movies with grieving parents and one of them is the murderer. regardless - still sad.

 

damn that's sucks! yeah that amount sounds like lawsuit money. man - you have quite a unique history. more than most people i met. i would love to hear anymore stories. you need to write it down somehow. it's a tragic but awesome read!

 

skinny-how old was your Dad when he passed? he seemed like he lived a long time ago or had siblings that lived a long time ago. my Dad was born in 1922, so he was a kid and teen in the 30's.

 

My dad's still alive, he was born in 1935, my grandfather was born in 1893. My great grandfather was in new york from 1909 to 1920. My moms dad wanted so bad to go the US, he tried making the trip in '54 with the family but was refused the voyage because of his health and he died in '59 not realizing that dream. His sister went to new york in 1920. Funny my family was actually american long before they were ever canadian. Living downtown toronto for almost 1 year now, I can honestly say that new york feels more like home to me.

 

wow-interesting. my Dad and his family were all born in the Port Richmond section of Philly. He and his brother, my Uncle, fought in WWII. My Mom's family was from NY. My Grandparents on both sides came over from Ireland to Newfoundland, Canada and trickled down to NY/Philly- my Mom's family settled in NY and my Dad's in Philly.

I heard Toronto is an awesome town and it has the Hockey HOF so it can't be a bad place.

 

Toronto is awesome, I was born here and love it. The problem is when some anglo punk gives you a look like go back where you come from. I've been walking on this street for years before you were even fkn born you little puke. Always comes down to ethnicity here, you're only called canadian outside of canada. The real canadians are only descendents of the UK and you had to have a family member that fought in a world war or you aren't a real canadian.

 

Real Canadians are Ontarians, dammitt !!! There's not enough Ontarians in the Toronto Maple Leafs orginization !!!

Sorry - I went Don Cherry on you fellers. *PARDON*

 

how about this for "real Canadians"?

recently heard about Boston Irish having 2 sets of immigrants in the 1800s, those that came straight over from the homeland and those that came to Nova Scotia and then Boston. evidently some looked down on the latter "2- boaters". so ridiculous.
seems like whoever the newest group of people immigrating to any land is gonna catch shit for a couple generations.

 

The irish were treated like shit in toronto too, if they were catholic(need not apply, orange only).

 

If you read how much the british paid the missisauga indians for toronto, it's a joke. We're talking fur pelts and rifles with some cash.
I live right across from the rogers and don't go because of the amount of rednecks that can't mind their own business. So much better watching a game on the road. On the weekends you get these fans driving in from these kkk towns, no thanks.
