The bombing was in the parking lot at the corner of I-271 and Brainard/Cedar Rd exit.

I just got off the phone with my 88 year old mother, mea culpa. Danny did die coming out of the dentist office. She also had wonderful things to say about him; how he took care of the neighborhood, he was a gentleman with the ladies, how good looking he was, the consummate Irishman who lived by a
code. She laughed when she talked about those times and what we went through, when unions were great and so was the middle class.

My father was a Business Agent for the Teamsters when the offices were on 22nd and Prospect. We knew Danny, his secretary, Lenore, was visiting my parents in Florida when the bomb killed him. It was inevitable. I still remember what Lenore said when the call came, “put him on ice, I’m on vacation”. When Hoffa disappeared, the FBI came to my father twice to interview him. Those were wild times. I also remember sitting in our kitchen and my father screaming at my mother to buy some thicker curtains for the windows, “someone’s going to take a shot at me someday through these f…ing curtains. Buy something decent.”
Am I wrong here, but didn’t the final bomb go off in the parking lot at the union hall?

Something tells me that the studio may release this film around St. Patrick’s day although I have not seen a trailer.

Thanks for your Comment Mike. I would love to hear your story.

I was born in 73 but I still heard about this guy, I guess it is a Grovewood thing, when it was still an Irish neighborhood. To bad all the Irish moved out in the 80’s except for a few of us. In the 70’s Cleveland was also known as the bomb capital of the country.

I grew up around 152nd St. Five Points area. I remember well the murders, car bombs, etc. I wonder if Allie, Butchie, Delzoppo, and others will be in the movie? How about the tragedy where a car bomb meant for Allie instead kill Mr. Percio?
