Through the years there have been families from Dorchester that have garnered a reputation for their will to fight. Whether it’s for a friend or a just cause, we have no shortage of folks that will raise a pen, voice or fist for the greater good. The Kelly …
Twenty five years ago today, Dorchester lost one of its sons. Gerard Duchaney was taken from us much too soon like other beloved Dot Rats from his era with names like Maffie, Holloran, Noble, and Santangelo. Even though Neponset lost a little piece of it’s fabric that day 25 years ago, when Gerard’s name is brought into the fold of a conversation, his legacy seems to invoke happiness and laughter in people to this day.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Duchaney family.
So I’m driving through traffic the other day when all of a sudden I hear this incredible roar that seemed to fill the street. I start to scan the road when I lock on to my rear view mirror. Here comes this massive orange and …

13 Holbrook Ave…. or the Holbrook Tavern located behind the Neponset Health Center. People have been talking about this eyesore for years. I personally always considered it a decent piece of property. Ugly? Yes… Noisy? Yes…
A perfect place to rehab and turn into a teen center in an area of Dorchester where this hasn’t existed….HELL YES!! You could build a nice path down to the park…fence it all in…and save what is said to be a historic building. Why shouldn’t the kids have a little computer/science/invention lab? Maybe a few counselors to talk with the kids about drugs, parents, school….life in general. Could be a nice spot to house banquets for team sports at Garvey Park. The potential is there…. The Duchaney Teen Center… talk to Maureen Feeney….O’Toole or Baker….SOMEONE!!! Roxbury and Mattapan shouldn’t be the only ones getting this type of investment in their teenagers…..
