A Tour of Recent Works at ICA South Boston Seaport. By Richard Campbell As the South Boston Seaport is sprouting buildings and businesses at a maddening pace, it’s a good idea to review one of the pioneers of the Seaport renaissance, The Institute of Contemporary Art Museum.

City of Boston Credit Union is extremely saddened by the decision of the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council to deny the OUTVETS organization a place in this year’s South Boston St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Once she got there, Sydni actually skated for the very first time in her life. One reason for the party was to raise funds for a specially equipped van that can ferry Sydni, her wheelchair, and all her equipment around safely and comfortably. It was a joyful occasion, and a pleasure to write about in South Boston Online’s November 17 issue.

Well, her 12th Birthday Party was a great success. Sydni now has her van. Here’s [...]
