A little slice of my youth…and hip hop history disappeared today. I can’t picture my youth without the Beastie Boys. Rest in peace MCA….

415 Neponset opens…

What an incredible job they have done on this building….it does look a million times better in Neponset circle. Not to mention the building houses the best architect in Dorchester and a friend of Dotrat.com – Roche Christopher Architects.

Mumbles showed up to cut the ribbon and explained “that’s how the key to sussex”….god bless him!

Ashmont Grill…

So apparently the Ashmont Grill serves a salad with greens gathered from the sidewalks of Dorchester….they call it the Ashmont Jungle. I love local produce and I’m down with this as long as there is no old bubblegum and ezwider wrappers in it. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVqfEZM7tQ4]

Nobody likes a cup of mud in the morning more than me. It’s a ritual practiced daily by billions of us around the world. Coffee rocks…and I’m drinking one right now. But this morning I should have been passing out “I’m an asshole” t-shirts on

The Southie 3 Piece…

The Southie 3 Piece…

Typically if I saw someone in the stance and approaching me I would get in the stance as well. You have to defend yourself….and nobody wants to get hit with a 3 piece…nevermind getting hit once.

Southie just keeps bringing the fight game to new levels….
