"Thank You"

In 1970, I began my career in politics working for then Rep. Ray Flynn in room 460 at the State House.

Eighth Annual "Taste of South Boston"

By Rick Winterson

The “Taste of South Boston” became an instant local tradition in 2003, its inaugural year.

That tradition continues as sixteen establishments from all over South Boston join together at the Seaport Hotel on Sunday evening, March 7.

Seaport Square Update

Seaport Square is a very large mixed-use development proposed for the 23 acres commonly known as the “McCourt Properties”. Its current status was presented by the developer, Gale International, at a community meeting last week in the Condon School. The project was well-received. Groundbreaking is slated for sometime in 2011.
