This is a photo of relatives of my mate. We reckon it’s on the steps of a building in New York. Anybody know where/what this building is? They look like a couple of wise guys from the Godfather.

He reckons it’s the 60’s, it’s his cousin that’s doing the family tree. Another relative of his who moved over from Naples had an ice cream shop in Edinburgh, but he fell out with a friend who he said stole money from the business. He shot the guy 3 times with a revolver and was then packed off to the USA. It was in the newspapers here. I think it was New Arthur Place he lived, maybe Bob will remember this and my mates relative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
