In nine minutes…
On most days I get pissed off if my phone rings while I’m trying to tie my shoes. Your old pal has never been a multitasking type of guy. It’s always been my way to zero in on a problem and work on it till it’s …

Thank You!
Well, it was a long day for all the girls down at Hollywood Tans. Through their efforts and the generosity of the businesses and patrons that took part, they where able to raise close to 3000 dollars in raffle and bake sales for the Richard Family Fund. The company is planning more fundraising efforts at their other locations in Brighton and Medford, once those are done I will post the final numbers.
Thanks to my good friend Tommy MacDonald from the WGBH show Rough Cut for making a donation and hanging out with the crew. And also a big thanks goes out to the BPD for coming by to lend the “Blue Goose” and a raffle prize.
Here’s some pictures from Saturday…

Goodbye coward…
Well I would much rather him in a body bag…but he’s a wealth of information given the right….influence. My gut is telling me his motivation was stirred up by his dead brother…but who knows at this point. Either way, I’m so proud of our entire …
Harlem Street…
So I’m sitting here thumbing through Twitter posts when I see Bigg Dee and the Chef Boyz are on Unregular Radio reaching out with condolences for the families of the loved ones lost on Harlem Street last weekend. The whole thing got me thinking.
I try to make this website something positive for anyone who visits. Whether it’s a simple laugh or sharing what I have learned over the years. My goal is to be a bright spot for Dorchester and anyone who wants to read. A distraction of sorts…although… I feel like this weekend I was the one distracted…
Through my friends at UniversalHub I heard about what happened at Harlem Street within moments of it happening. They have quite a knack for reporting things first. But even though I received notice of it so quickly…I have to admit…I avoided talking about it. Probably for the sake of keeping things positive, which tonight I realized it was pretty ignorant of me. And I hope you all accept my apology.
What happened on Sunday was horrific.

It takes a few pounds of force to pull a trigger. In essence, a four year old child can lift a handgun and kill an NFL lineman.
Pulling a trigger does not make you tough, 7 times out of 10 it makes you a coward. The only time it doesn’t make you a coward is when your are defending your country, your family or the innocent. The use of that type of force has to be warranted and you should be properly trained and licensed to do so.
Make no mistake about it…whoever is responsible for Sunday is a complete coward. And anyone who holds back information from the Police is just as cowardly.
These young kids deserve recognition, not only as victims but for the joy they brought to their family and friends…and as fellow Dot Rats…I feel like I should reach out and offer my help in any capacity.
This website isn’t exactly the Boston Globe but it does have a following. I’m sure my fellow bloggers would also offer help as well.
If you have any info regarding the suspects in this investigation, just like the Boston Police tips line, we will treat you as anonymous.
If you would like to advertise an event or function on behalf of the families or you can think of another way we can help…please reach out.
History will be made…
What is a Dot Rat? Some would rather not be associated with a dirty rodent or a snitch. The term goes back 50 or 60 years in these parts….but there are so many people who ask this very question. What is a Dot Rat? Dot …
Sugah weighs in @ The Banshee…
A fellow Dot Rat, Boston Police officer and pro boxer Billy “Sugah” Traft was weighed in this afternoon at The Banshee Irish pub in Dorchester. Plenty of Billy’s fellow Dot Rats were on hand to show support. Billy will be fighting tomorrow night at the …
Cops love beer…
So I’m browsing vids looking for inspiration when all of sudden I come across this restored 1991 Crown Vic. It immediately sparked memories of drinking beers in the parks around the neighborhood. On any given weekend night we would be gathered around a few cases …
