My name is Johnny "Shotgun" Stokes and I am the owner of a 1937 Buick!! I am a member of the San Francisco Mobsters.
The fog was in again tonight, that clinging and heavy stuff that mostly mist and salt. Manhole covers on the street let ghosts of steam dance over them only until my Buick shoves them aside, like a a drunk pushing his way through to a bar. Market St. is wet with the sweat of the sea, what a mess, so much for my white walls. As the seventy year old hood ornament points its way towards the Ferry Building, Ellington is playing on the radio. The Buick hums along and everything is safe for now... Yeah, another night in my city.
We will be hosting the 2nd Annual San Francisco Mobsters Ball, Part II .
