I was in high school at the time. I remember hearing the explosion and our windows rattling. My father ran out to see what happened. I'll never forget it. My buddies and I would walk past that house everyday on our way to school. The next morning, my mom told me not to walk that way. Yeah right. We hope to get a glance of a Chicken Man body part. The front of the house was completely gone and there were a lot of tarps covering "things" in the street. Hey, you live by the sword... For accuracy sake, the house was not a typical rowhome as depicted. They are big twins, with front porches and trees. Yeah, imagine that! Trees in South Philly. Thanks for the fond mob memory, Josh!

Joe Valachi and Archie Bunker." I guess we now can add our pal Josh to the list.</p> To quote Michael “Meathead” Stivic in an episode titled “Archie Sees a Mugging”: “Only two people have ever publicly acknowledged the existance of the Mafia … Joe Valachi and Archie Bunker.” I guess we now can add our pal Josh to the list.
