I'm planning to write a book about European/European American mob groups in the 2010s and I'm especially interested in hearing from people who live in areas where such groups allegedly operate . At any rate it has come to my attention that the so called Kielbasa Posse ( WebCite query result ) operates in Port Richmond . I'm interested in finding out more about this group since I've never heard of a Polish/Polish American mob group before .

Anyways I'd like to pose the following questions to Port Richmond residents :

Is it true that the Kielbasa Posse operates in your neighborhood or is that false information ?

How visible of a group are they ?

Do they interact with local residents and if so then how ?

Does their criminal activity cause major problems for the neighborhood or not so much ?

Also what are their reputed rackets ? I know the article mentions drugs , loan sharking , and gambling but I'd like to hear from local residents about this .

Anyways thanks ahead of time !

I've heard about them but never had any interactions with them or heard of them causing major problems in the neighborhood. Port Richmond resident 1996-2006 and still have family and friends there so I frequent the neighborhood.

Port Richmond has quickly become a dumping ground for trouble.I only go there four or five times a year.

Does any of it have to do with the Kielbasa Posse ?
