I found some serious dirt - Winter Hill Gang

The business filing with State of MA is at http://corp.sec.state.ma.us/corp/corpsearch/CorpSearchSummary.asp?ReadFromDB=True&UpdateAllowed=&FEIN=042381889

As of 1992 the owner was:

HERBERT FOSTER
No. and Street: 65 BROMFIELD ROAD
City or Town: SOMERVILLE

I found some interesting pages on Google but the most shocking info is that Mr. Foster is named as a cohort in a famous indictment of Howie Winter and Sal Sperlinga. See http://masscases.com/cases/app/9/9massappct512.html. Howie Winter was the boss of the Winter Hill Gang until he went to jail and then Whitey took over. Sperlinga was the victim of a mob hit at Magoun Square print shop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvatore_Sperlinga).

The indictment (http://masscases.com/cases/app/9/9massappct512.html) details the threats they made against various business owners ("put my pinball machines in your club or i will break your face"). It is an entertaining read.

So, you guys still want to go in there and poke around? I think I'll pass.
