DUBLIN, IRELAND (October 26, 2025) — Does it seem odd to anyone else that no other media outlet has covered the controversy over Flowers Park? I am used to going it alone but it is a big deal in New Rochelle but so far it’s 🦗🦗🦗
Flowers Park continues to dominate the news regardless. I started a new series: Yadira & Co. Gaslighting on New Rochelle’s Flowers Park – Part I
I was quite happy to hear Louis Apicella, the guy who tried to run me over, was indicted by the USDOJ for his role in the NBA LCN Poker Cheating Conspiracy: Gambino Mob Associate & Former New Rochelle Schools Employee Louis “Sloppy Louie” Apicella, Facing Multiple Federal Charges in Rigged Poker Scheme
I was sorry to learn he made bail: New Rochelle Mob Suspect Louis Apicella Released on $100K Bond Despite Federal Prosecutors’ Objections.
