This sounds like one of those old mob movies where some guy gets shot on a pier and somehow the shooter gets away even though they are in the middle of the city on a pier with one exit point.

Good to let those Iowa readers know how Anthony's Pier 4 overlooks the harbor. And good to point out that the parking lot is "not far" from the restaurant - which makes sense when you realize it's actually Anthony's own parking lot!

Thats a scary parking lot at night too being so long and relativly narrow, and kind of dark at night. Its especially troubling when leaving Pier 4 late at night.
I guess you would say that their parking lot, right in front of their restaurant, is "not far". Maybe they were trying not to connect the murder too much to the restaurant, but it seems like a convuluted way of saying where it happened.

Since when do State Police get assigned details in the city of Boston to manage crowd control for private affairs?
Did they have a chnace to finish their donuts?
Waterfront?

Maybe because of the Massport issues Channel 4 reported on last month?
Oh, for the days when the Globe actually had a reporter who covered the waterfront.

Anthony was a distant cousin of my husband, (not that Albanians ever care about that "distant" part) and I've gone there many times with my husband's extended family on various occasions. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever paid for a meal there.

I always liked that about the Italian and Jewish (Greek too I think) cultures in the US (and apparently the Albanians, who knew.) I come from ethnic groups that either dont seem to care about connections beyond immediate family (Germans), dont care unless your well off (English), or care more about the group as a whole and their circles (which may or may not contain extended family members)than extended connections (Irish.) I have a slew of extended relatives in New England and have never been in contact as a family member with anyone outside of the 2nd or 3rd cousin ring.

Summary of a 1997 Law & Order episode (except we won't get a special prosecutor when the DA refuses to go for the death penalty) (Via one of the Herald's ever helpful story commenters; in among the usual crowd bashing Tom Menino and South Boston).

Boston Police are asking witnesses who were on the Outrageous in Red cruise to come forward (anonymously if need be, natch).
