"In New York City we don't always have a tree available or a
place to drive a tent stake. And we don't tie off to cars because
someone might steal the car and drive off with the rig dragging
behind it. A funny sight it may be, but it plays havoc on a
production schedule. We use Mafia blocks. Mafia blocks??? Three
foot square cement blocks that weigh about 2,000 pounds apiece.
They even have a tie off point cast in them. Get a forklift to
drop them where you need them and you're in business. I'll leave
the reasoning behind the name choice to your imagination."
