The Southie Farm…
This has to be one of the coolest things going on in South Boston at the moment. These folks at Higher Ground Farm have taken an otherwise dead space and built the second largest rooftop farm in the world, all while providing some killer produce to local …
Pipers invade the Harp & Bard…
There is just something so friggin cool about bagpipers rolling into a pub like this. It’s one part testosterone one part nostalgic and another part “drink up because these guys are going to wipe out all the beer”. The swagger meter is just off the charts here folks. A little part of me that wants my own crew of these guys to play for me everywhere I go. Think about how bad ass it would be to have these guys roll into PS Gourmet for your 6:30 AM coffee, wailing away….they finish their song….and you’re like “I’ll have a PS Special”….boom you’re an instant celebrity (or an instant liability for blowing out all the cashier’s ear drums).
Anyway, I want to send a big shout out to Jim Leahy and the rest of the boys of the Greater Boston Firefighters Pipe and Drums for sharing their video of the Harp & Bard raid.
Make sure to join them for their 5th annual Southie Pub crawl on June 28th!
Obair Chrua…
I’m driving through South Boston yesterday morning, weaving my way through the side streets trying to avoid the masses that were converging on the parade route. For the first time in my life I was invited to the St. Patrick’s day breakfast. Those who know …
Tin Knockers Invade Southie…
I think it was about 2 years back while trying to put together a dryer vent that found an appreciation for the folks in the sheet metal trade. After picking my hand up off the floor, I realized fairly quick that it was not something …
Southie Wilderness…
We have built skyscrapers, world class educational centers and even managed bury an entire portion of the sh*ttiest traffic jam in American history. We have billionaires that were raised in these streets along with some of the biggest names in the arts. Our streets have produced world class fighters, NHL hockey players and Medal of Honor recipients. We are resilient, smart and tough….but do you know what we are clueless about? Wildlife….
City kids are capable of many things….but throw a raccoon or in this case a hawk into the mix and we don’t know wtf to do.

The Marylou’s Cruise…
So I walk into Marylou’s in Quincy for an iced coffee Sunday morning. Now plenty of us are familiar with their business model. The place is essentially a scaled back Hooters of coffee. And for full disclosure there is not a place on the planet …
The Jason Aldean effect…
For whatever reason, ladies love Jason Aldean. Maybe it’s the mixing of rap and country. Maybe it’s the crooked nose, hoop earrings and the deer tattoo. Either way…Fenway was crawling with Jason’s adoring does over the weekend. And wherever there’s a bunch of drunk females …
St Patrick’s proposal…
So Mark Flaherty stole the show over in Southie yesterday….
Congrats to Mark and his bride to be Kathleen Duffy. I mean lets face it, this is one lucky lady. Do you know how many women would kill for a Richard Gere / Officer and a Gentleman moment like this. Mark is actually extended family and we wish him and Kathleen nothing but the best.
And thank you for serving our country!
Good afternoon Southie…
Well the madness is about to kick into high gear… After you get cockeyed and go home to relax….look what you get to watch tonight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlGfG-seccU VH1 looks like it will be ignoring the statement our Governor issued this morning…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNxdX5bN2fo The amateurs are out …
