Perry School Rocks: A real ‘Southie time’

2016-04-13T14:30:15-04:00April 13th, 2016|Categories: Happenings|Tags: |Comments Off on Perry School Rocks: A real ‘Southie time’

By RICK WINTERSON It’s fundraising season in South Boston: the time after the St. Patrick’s Day and Evacuation Day festivities are over, and set right in the middle of the so-called gifting season. And these fundraisers are great “Southie times.” You know the motto: “Do well by doing good, and have a great time doing it.” It works. Well, that was certainly true of the Oliver Hazard Perry School’s fundraising party, “Perry School Rocks,” last Saturday. Fortunately, it wasn’t raining (or snowing!) because they raised the roof inside Seapoint’s Banquet Room on Eighth Street. The Perry, a K-8 elementary institution, is the only school in South Boston with a seaside location, they’ll have you know. This fundraiser is for activities such as field trips, as well [...]

Another voice against the Grand Prix of South Boston

2018-11-27T13:06:36-05:00April 13th, 2016|Categories: Happenings|Tags: |Comments Off on Another voice against the Grand Prix of South Boston

By RICK WINTERSON The City Point Neighborhood Association held its regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening. Topics included neighborhood updates, a triathlon presentation, and a report from Boston Police Station C-6, including an introduction of newly appointed District Capt. Joe Boyle. One key topic at the CPNA meeting concerned the proposed Grand Prix Boston races over this coming Labor Day weekend. Objections to this event were presented to the CPNA by Larry Bishoff of the Coalition Against IndyCar Boston, a volunteer group with pro bono legal counsel, which was formed to oppose the event. Terms such as “IndyCar” and Grand Prix have been used frequently to describe this proposed event, but officially it’s entitled “Grand Prix Boston.” That should probably be changed to “Grand Prix South [...]

2016-04-13T14:28:48-04:00April 13th, 2016|Categories: Happenings|Comments Off on St. Brigid Church welcomes Sr. Evelyn back to South Boston

On Sunday, April 10, at the 10:30 a.m. family Mass at St. Brigid Church, (at which Fr. Robert Casey, our Pastor, was the celebrant), we welcomed Sr. Evelyn back to South Boston. She is enjoying her time at the Mother house in Nazareth, Ky., but misses her many friends in Boston. We are sure she will be eager to meet many of you during the time she will be visiting. Last year during her visit, at the age 100, she was out and about almost every day. Amazing! At age 101, which she turned on March 7, it will be no different! Happy belated birthday, Sr. Evelyn!

2016-04-06T15:36:14-04:00April 6th, 2016|Categories: Business, Featured|Tags: |Comments Off on South Boston resident opens Castle Island Brewing Company

By SUSAN DOUCET In 2009, Adam Romanow was brewing small batches of beer on top of his kitchen stove in South Boston. Now, he has 20,000 square feet where he can brew thousands of gallons of beer a day. Castle Island Brewing Company, born in South Boston, opened in Norwood this winter under Romanow, the founder and president, and a staff that is half South Boston residents or former residents. “It’s been a whirlwind, honestly,” he said Thursday afternoon, holding a sample of Jetty, a dry hop sour ale that had just been released that day. The brewery began brewing beer around Thanksgiving, opened Dec. 11, and started shipping beer the first week in January. The brewing company has large quantities of two beers – [...]

By RICK WINTERSON Perhaps as many as 400 honored guests – all of them gourmands – showed up at Sunday’s 14th Annual Taste of South Boston, which benefits the South Boston Neighborhood Development Corporation. Taste was held, as usual, in the Plaza Ballroom at the Seaport Hotel. Advance ticket sales amounted to more than 260; a number more showed up at the door to buy more tickets. The festivities lasted from 6 to 9 p.m. Twenty-nine restaurants and vendors provided food and drink galore. It bordered on the impossible to make one’s way to every establishment’s table and consume the generous samples of their wares.  Perhaps special mention should be made of Lucky’s Lounge, who came up with musical entertainment by pianist Ron Poster and his [...]
