Letter to the editor: “I pledge allegiance…”

2018-11-27T13:06:37-05:00January 13th, 2016|Categories: Happenings, News|Tags: |Comments Off on Letter to the editor: “I pledge allegiance…”

South Boston Online, in its Dec. 3, 2015, issue (Page 8), photographed and published the image of a tattered and filthy American flag located atop a steel crossbar on an abandoned site at B Street and West Broadway. Following a week of inaction on everyone’s part, I began an unsuccessful quest to find someone in the area working with a ladder, whose use I could recruit. I once again visited the tattered flag’s location and happily, I discovered a pickup truck (with ladder) parked next to the site. I then tracked down the pickup’s owner. After explaining my quest, he and his partner took on the task and lowered the flag with respect. The three of us ceremonially folded the flag, later to be brought [...]

Photo: Deck the scaffolding?

2016-02-04T15:46:11-05:00January 6th, 2016|Categories: News|Tags: |Comments Off on Photo: Deck the scaffolding?

The two wreaths on the courthouse were certainly placed upon the scaffolding at the entrance to mark the Christmas holiday season. But there’s something about all that scaffolding that really doesn’t have much holiday spirit. It looks sad. And the wreaths are still there in the first week of the New Year. Is this because these wreaths will gradually blacken in the Boston smog, and become mourning wreaths over the lack of maintenance at the Courthouse? Or is it because no one dares to climb up there to take them down, for fear of a total collapse of the structure around the entrance to the courthouse? Who’s minding the store around here? -Rick Winterson

By RICK WINTERSON The Polar Plunge is one of Southie’s oldest traditions. It’s historic. South Boston Online believes the plunge has been recorded right back till the turn of the last century – around 1901 or 1902, the years of the Dorchester Heights monument and the first St. Patrick’s/Evacuation Day Parade. Others say its first year was 1904, making the Polar Plunge 112 years old. Whichever figure is more accurate, South Boston’s Polar Plunge is the oldest in the nation.
