Reply to comment by Yinzerman1992 in notorious mobsters, Eugene "Nick the Blade" Gesuale (left) and Charles "Chucky" Porter in 1981 at the Beacon Club in Squirrel Hill. by Yinzerman1992

There is a podcast called Crooked City that focuses on the Mob in Youngstown this season. They occasionally mention mob guys from Pittsburgh. Not sure if these fellows are mentioned.

Crooked City was so good.

I believe they mentioned Chucky Porter in passing because I recognize that name. Don't think I heard the other guy.

I heard that when they wanted to get rid of a guy, they’d use a car bomb. This became known as a Youngstown tune-up.
