South Boston is nice this time of year.

I've never been out east, but even I know that you don't want to be in South Boston. :)

As for the bouncyball, who cares. But if women's lawn jarts was on, assuming they were using the good old-fashioned steel tipped jarts, I'd take a gander at it.

I don't know, movies seem to make them seem like misunderstood and like they're deep down good people. :p

Have the movies led me astray?
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #175: More Spring Cleaning

There's nothing wrong with South Boston.

bb_dl - as mookie said, anywhere south of Back Bay/Mass Ave on the Orange line of the T is probably the type of area you're thinking. But if you're planning to walk around the city, that's so far away. You should do the North End, Quincy Market, Back Bay/Newbury Street and Prudential Center. If you do the Freedom Trail, you should be fine. Though it may rain. See if you can do a duck tour. Those are fun. And don't listen to him, the area around your hotel is fine.

Long *** day. Left work at 4pm, bolted up to Agganis Arena to pick up my tickets I ordered through the university. Turns out all they are giving people are Thursday's ticket. Um, what? They said it's an NCAA thing. I thought it was just me but others only got Thursday's ticket as well. I'm going Saturday win or lose so I want that ticket. I now have to go back on Friday or pick it up at the Garden on Saturday. But if BU doesn't win on Thursday, why would the ticket peeps be there on Saturday? They **** well better be.

After I got the ticket, I took the T home from there, jumped in my car, and drove up to les-ville to go to my sister-in-law's mother's wake. Picked up my brother. We were there till close to 8pm. Had to drive him to my parents' place before coming home. Just finished supper. Tomorrow will be another long and crazy day. Maybe it's good to take the worry about the game away from me. Or it will just make it worse. I should go to bed.

Thanks. I'm actually not that worried about South Boston, but probably don't have a reason to go there.

Is there anything we need to know about the Seaport area? There are some restaurants there that seemed pretty good and a couple breweries we want to check out, all within walking distance of each other.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #175: More Spring Cleaning

That place is so built up now!! Some really nice restaurants:

Strega
Legal Harborside - this is actually three Legal Sea Foods restaurants
DelFrisco's
Jerry Remy's
Rosa Mexicano
Legal's Test Kitchen - Legal Seafood uses this to test new dishes.

My fave is the No Name which is on the Fish Pier. Very simple and casual and probably the freshest fish you'll have in Boston. Nothing fancy, relatively inexpensive. You should try it for lunch.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #175: More Spring Cleaning

Was watching curling earlier. :eek: some of the shots early in the game were amazzzing! Now Mr has moved on to the boring orange ball thingy. It appears rules like traveling do not exist anymore.

dd_bl reading Cotton Malone. Very good so far. Thanks for the tip.

mookie SAID that compared to all the touristy areas he would go, the area around his hotel was the worst (all relative :D). again there are no areas in boston 'sketchy' that one plans to go to unless you are cruising for crack in the hood. normal midwestern tourists don't go there.
there is a big *** mall (cambridgeside galleria) one block over from the one block to the T from your hotel. where there is $$$$, there is a safe po-po presence.

I'm actually guessing that Southie is just poor working class, and rundown, not really crime-ridden. So, a hybrid of movies/documentaries/truth.

There is a yuppie section. There are old school townies. There are projects filled with hoods and druggies.

One stays away from the projects and they are fine.

Things must have changed in the past 15 years or so. I work with a guy who lived in Boston for a good 10+ years and for part of it his time there he supplemented his income working for a delivery service, contract delivery for large item goods. He was telling me that when you get into many parts of South Boston, if you're black you're gambling with taking a beating in a good chunk of neighborhoods there. If you're white, you're probably okay, but the Irish are golden - especially the locals. He also mentioned about the Orange line, but I don't remember a great deal around it as I've not plans to be in Boston any time soon.
