Street Hockey time…

I gotta admit this flick 363: The Road to the Southie 3-on-3 is pretty bad ass. What a production….Danny Picard and his boys did an incredible job making it. I felt like I was watching an ESPN special or something. It brought back good memories

There are times in the hood when you may have a problem with insects. Maybe your neighbors don’t keep a tidy house or maybe it’s just you that’s the slob. The insects around Dorchester can be pretty gangster….. I mean just last week I saw 

Eire Pub Politics…

Eire Pub Politics…

Ahh the good old Eire Pub. Always a hotbed for politics here in Dorchester. I would even go as far as saying it’s the epicenter of Boston in terms of politics. I have seen quite a few spirited debates over a pint of beer in this bar.  I grew up a few blocks from here and remember the old political rallies down at Adams Corner. Free trolley rides to the rally meant endless possibilities for a crew of young Dot Rats with a stockpile of eggs and nothing better to do….ohhh the fun we we had. The rally would shift into high gear as the candidates and their supporters would spill out of the Eire and take the stage beside Blasis hardware store..(now it’s the Fat Belly Deli). I can even remember watching the presidents stopping in for a beer during their campaign runs as well.

Here’s a post from last year that Brown and Flynn were playing grab ass during the Irish Festival over at the Eire. Sure enough, Saint Flynn gave Brown the endorsement earlier this year. I like Brown, but voting for oil subsidies while Exxon Mobil is making record profits is not indicative of someone who holds “the people’s seat”. Hey numbnuts….why does a company that made 486 billion dollars in total 2011 revenue deserve or need any of my tax dollars? Maybe you should have been a little less of an “independent thinker” and thought about us.

All BS aside, check out these Brown supporters standing in close quarters with a bunch of Warren supporters out in front of the Eire Pub recently. I’m obviously a Warren guy, but I have to respect the Brown camps desperate tactic of doing Indian chants and tomahawk gestures. When you have nothing else to stand on….you might as well be fresh pr*cks! If nothing else it gave me a good laugh. You stay classy Brown staffers!

The title goes to Morrissey Boulevard  Wine & Liquors. [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt7a4j4_u5g] Based on our poll…this is the best packie in Dorchester. I asked you to pick based on price, selection and cleanliness and I couldn’t agree more…they run a tight ship. The store will receive an

The Duplessy Foundation does great work with young adults 18-24 years old who are not attending four-year colleges develop the skills to lead artistic enterprises and businesses. This is a very important stage in a persons life where you hit a crossroads. Having a foundation that helps kids bring their skill set  to the next level is crucial to Dorchester. Give them a look!

Malibu Beach Poetry…

I honestly don’t know where these 2 were going with this. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od8lTBbu2JE] For a second I felt like I was watching an SNL skit. I love Malibu but never really considered it worthy of 7 minutes of poetry. Mitch and Audrey are obviously much deeper

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 

The Wiffleball Classic…

The Wiffleball Classic…

About 150 players and spectators were on hand last weekend for the Wiffleball Classic at Dot Park. 16 teams battled it out for bragging rights at this all day event. By all accounts everyone had a blast. But…at the end of the day there could only be one winner.

Congrats to Niall Murphy and his 3 man wrecking crew on the big win.

I noticed Cavata Clothing sponsored a team at the Wiffleball Classic and dodgeball tourney a couple of weeks back. Really nice gesture on their part.

Let’s get some more local biz on board and keep these traditions alive!

So our very own Billy Traft made us extremely proud last night. Bill won by TKO after just one round his opponent would not come out for round 2.  Here is a short video of his walk to the ring. Thanks for giving the neighborhood
