2016-09-08T10:39:25-04:00September 8th, 2016|Categories: Featured|Comments Off on Rockin’ at the 2016 Curly Center Beach Party

by Rick Winterson For the last several years the Curley Community Center has hosted an Annual End-of-Summer Beach Party on its enclosed beach on the M Street side of the Center. This year was no exception; it was a fitting way to bid summer goodbye. The party was presented with the courtesy of Massport, at the Curley Center, which is part of the City of Boston’s Centers for Youth and Families. The weather smiled, the refreshments refreshed, and the entertainment was excellent. And the event was blessedly free and open to all. With many guests entering and exiting it was hard to estimate the crowd; but perhaps several hundred were in attendance. Until the sun set water play was the order of the evening. Mother [...]

2016-09-08T10:32:36-04:00September 8th, 2016|Categories: Featured, News|Comments Off on Joe “Dodo” Nee Leaves Us

By Rick Winterson You have heard that Joseph “Dodo” Nee died this week. He fought a long and a largely successful battle against his illness, but it finally overcame him. His death is a great and very sad loss to the South Boston community. Residents of our beautiful neighborhood saw Dodo everywhere; he took part in our lives with great joy. We have chosen a photo from South Boston Online’s archives that shows Dodo (to the left) as we would like to remember him – with his friends, taking part in a fundraiser, a “Southie time” for the South Boston Collaborative Center, one of his favorite and most successful community projects.

By Kevin Devlin All four young girls are on the A team cheerleading squad in the South Boston Pop Warner Football League Program.
