Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Yep. Youngstown is like that. I live in Wilmington, N.C., now. About a year ago, the TV show, " City Confidential, " did a show on Youngstown and the corruption. This was about the time Traficant was on trial. My husband, who is from Raleigh, just sat and shook his head. He couldn't believe a place like that existed. My co-workers love to watch " The Sopranos. " They asked me once why I never watched it. I told them I don't need to, I lived it. My ex-landlady was a bookie. My first husband and I used to try to listen to her " clients " try to get of paying her (she lived downstairs from us in a duplex). They never did. She was one tough cookie. One of my best friend's grandfather ran the numbers. She used to tell us how her grandfather had a scanner and kept his ear plastered to it to listen for his address. If he heard the address, he would flush the evidence before the police showed up. I miss Ohio, sometimes. Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
