This guy's message at the end of be nice to your fellow man. That is 100% the truth of life. If everyone could do that and show some kindness to each other the world would really be a great place.

Everyone is nice to me, except for when I was in the Dope scene from 2008-2010. I met a lot of personalities that were controlled by the dope. The dope fiend larceny was not needed. How come I held down my union construction job and a car and a one bedroom loft apartment downtown? I knew my limits, and when I ran out of money after my rent was paid, then I did not get high and it sucked more than anything else in the world but I went through the ups and downs so many times, so why couldn’t everybody else do it? I’m no better than anyone and I’m 43 and I still smoke cigarettes and I can’t stop drinking alcohol. So I understand addictions but I just never wanted to be homeless and yes, the high from real heroin was awesome, but I seen and knew homeless people and I knew I couldn’t handle that life. I’d rather be in prison than living on the streets without a job, car, a job and addicted to drugs.

Chicky seems like a character stright out of the the sopranos. I loved this interview.

Old school bookies used flash paper to put bets on, if you got raided, you would dump the paperwork into a water bin sitting next to the desk which made the paperwork melt, and the best thing is rent 2 houses or 2 apartments next to each other, drill small holes in walls and run phone cords next door, if they went to bust the place, they would bust the place with the phone lines hooked up but you would be in the address next door or above apartment. You cut the phone lines and pull the cords through the wall holes. Dont ask me how I know :)

Western Ma guy here. The day Al Bruno was murdered was the day Springfield went down hill. Even Springfield cops will tell you that Al Bruno kept the city in check.

Great interview. You actually listen to your guests answers to your questions instead of rushing to the next question. Chicky is very likeable guy.

Great interview! It was awesome hear his story as someone who grew up in Springfield when all of this was taking place. My first job was at one of Bruno's restaurants in high school.

Lol. Me too. I used to work at Salvatore's up on Boston Rd. (I think) near the Eastfield Mall. Some funny things about that place: 1. there was a poker table in the basement that was always covered with empty baggie corners. 2. Got violently ill on a staff meal. I guess it was a good way to get rid of old fish. 3. Got "fired" one night by some old greaseball who chewed me out for setting a table with a placemat that had a stain. (Wasn't actually fired.) 4. A big part of my job back then in the late 80's was running to the store many times a night to turn in and buy lottery tickets. Lol

Being from Hartford CT, I find these interviews so interesting, can't get enough of the Springfield, MA guys, Awesome!!

Brilliant interview Ian. Watching all the way Melbourne, Australia. Keep up the great interviews ! Chicky looks like an awesome bloke too!!!

I knew a guy from the 70s in Providence, RI, named “Chick”, he was an old Italian guy. (Like most of the people from my neighborhood. This guy mentioned Providence, so he would know the importance that Federal Hill played from the 40s to the 80s. The head of the New England Crime Family had his headquarters on Federal Hill, (Little Italy) in a little building called National Cigarette Vending Company, which was his front business. He also supplied cigarette and pinball machines throughout New England. Raymond “The Man” Patriarca was a very powerful, respected, (FEARED!) man from the bootlegging days, and at one point in the late 50s to the 60s, he would be called in to settle disputes between the 5 families in New York. He died of a heart attack in 1984, but his story is worth researching, he took out many people who crossed him! There are lots of great books with his history in them and they are worth the read if you like Mafia history! “Boston Mob” is one great book that “The Last Good Heist” is another one! Also “What Price Providence” about the life of “The Frenchman” Gerard Quimette, who ran a crew for Patriarca and “Choices, You Make ‘Em’ You own Em’” by Gerald Tillinghast, who was an enforcer for Patriarca Family and part of The Frenchman’s crew!

Really enjoyed hearing this guy talk super solid guy can definitley tell he cares. Great interview and guest.

Growing up in Hartford around the same era and spending time in Springfield in my youth I know of most of these stories as well as the individuals involved, great episode

Absolutely one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. I’m from Mass all my life. So many memories were brought back to me from Mr. C. He’s awesome, very kind heart and I loved his perspective and attitude. I tell you what I haven’t heard the great restaurant the Hooki Lau since I went to college in Westfield. Omg those days were great, excellent food. Honestly brought a tear to my eye hearing Chicky mention it. Thank you both so much.

This hands down was the best mob/organized crime, whatever video I think I ever saw. I'm from NY. You will meet more guys like this, than guys that are pulling triggers. You'll even meet a lot of those guys, who are down to earth as crazy as that sounds. A lot of us had family that were part of that kinda life, and parents that wanted everything correct and honest, than people who romanticized the life. Good Luck Chicky, thanks. Rimani benedetto.

I believe I knew his father too from back when I worked at a Dairy Mart he was a regular every day and was such a genuinely good guy, only problem was that he was a Giants fan 😂 Chicky looks very much like him right down to the glasses and the way he wears them.

Definitely the best episode I've seen on here Ian....💯 It's good to see some local guys on here. Repping Ma$$. I lived in Springfield for 7 yrs in the 80s and he's not lying about the violence, I was born and raised in Lawrence, Ma and its on a whole other level now with the violence and gangs, drugs, the whole state of Mass is on go time. Much respect to you Ian for bringing guys on here to tell their stories and teach these youngsters that the life of crime is not the way to go. I know personally, 13yrs in prison and county, I wish that when I was younger they had platforms like yours, and Chad Marks, to show me that there's a better way to go in life, bcus there's no happy ending in the GAME.... Keep doing your thing Bro.... Much Respect 💯💪🇮🇹

Chicky Interveiw /Guest was one of Locked In best Interveiws IMO he and I are about the same age , i wasn’t into Organized Crime but grew up in a very different place and found my own mischief to get into. for the most part mine was pretty Moral and fairly Legal aside from maybe a few Petty Crimes and minor Law “Bending “ i get how he feels about being a Husband ,Father,Grandfather ,etc as we got older one of my major weaknesses was i spent many years working hard in the Bar business in South Florida and pretty Women were a very strong Tempration that were too difficult too resist getting into some involvement with ,although i did stick to strong limitations when i did get married and started a Family
