The mafia left Naples in ruins. Can they do the same to Pompeii?

4. There was a saying many years ago "see Naples and die". I have to say my mother was from

Naples. I have so many wonderful memories growing up in Naples from time to time. I remember riding bikes in Luna Park. I remember going down to the docks buying fresh fish. I remember Dom Umberto's restaurant where my uncle and his band use to play music. I remember my aunt's little sewing shop down stairs from her home. I remember us kids and the neighborhood kids playing games and having fun. I never saw any mafia but then again it seems all Italians are painted with that brush. I know I would recognize the Naples I grew up with. So I will keep those wonderful memories. Oh I also remember when JFK drove by in a motorcade and thousands of people lined up on both sides of the street screaming with pride the american catholic president was coming by. I was so proud back then. So Naples has fallen to the mafia but lets face it folks we here have our own mafia in the form of Lobbyists. Then pimp everyday in congress and the senate.
