So much for witness protection. Wow … get a load of how many times these episode scripts refere to perosonal responcibility, good overcoming evil and, wait for it ! . . . Holy MooCows, how God figures in it all ! Not common in todays twisted entertainment industry.
Great posting! The father's shop was located on Fordham Road in the Bronx across the street from Theodore Roosevelt High school, that my siblings attended.The college campus is Fordhan University. One block from the shop, stood Biograph Studio, where they produced Car 54 and Butterfield 8 with Elizabeth Taylor amongst other projects. W.D. Griffith(Birth of a nation) started his directorial career with them. They were the first studio to shoot a feature film in Los Angeles in 1908. That was also the area called Arthur Ave, the Little Italy of the Bronx. The seven Ups and the Bronx Tale with Robert DeNiro was filmed there. Chazz Palminteri wrote the script and starred in it. Chazz also related to Johnny Carson a story of a robbery that a friend pulled as he unknowingly, waited in the car. That store was Kingsley sporting goods across the street from the Father's shop, where my father used to purchase my winter coat. We lived one train stop away from that location. That was a beautiful time to grow up(the 60s) and I grew up with Irish, Italian and Puerto Ricans. Lastly, There was a lonely youth who lived a short distance away, five years prior to this episode being produced, whom was accused of assassinating JFK. I believe that if he lived on our block he would have been my friend and one of the gang. Sorry we didn't get to know him history might have turned out different.

This show is all so true. There are no happy stories in New York City, just an unrelenting succession of tragedies. Fuck you to hell New York!
