In the 1960s, 28 West Broadway was the Transit Café, loansharking headquarters for the Killeen gang. By the 1970s, the place became Triple O's, named for the three O'Neil brothers who ran it. Ex-boxer Kevin Weeks worked there as a bouncer before joining the Bulger gang, and James 'Whitey' Bulger held court upstairs. Local old-timers remember Triple O's as the safest place in the neighborhood, partly because the police station at D St. and Broadway was three blocks away. Everybody knew that if you started a fight at Triple O's, you didn't take it outside. That's one way the gang stayed under the radar for so many years. The bar closed in 2011, and is now The Maiden, a casual restaurant.
