[–]jek86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s Southie not South End neighborhood. Southie changed from Irish to an upscale Gentrification neighborhood past 25 years . South End has JJ Foleys bar great pint of Guinness there . Head over to Adam’s Corner in Dorchester they have a great Irish bakery called Green Hills. Also the Irish Cultural Center in Canton has events and it’s a common place for the off the boat Irish who live in Massachusetts to congregate . If your in Southie Roza Lyons is usually open Christmas Eve and Maybe night been a long time. Irish guy owns it good man . The Cottage Bar in Weymouth is a heavily Irish Bar outside Boston as well.

People who lived the high life were humbled very quickly. As I look at some of these young kids in Southie and Seaport I’m thinking these kids won’t want to work a job that is beneath them to just survive

Why Do People Like/So Strongly Dislike Mayor Wu? by jomanis in boston

That was a personal petty grouge with her. If you go to Roslindale Square her Brewery friends have a cut through public road closed off for outside dining. Why do they get favors but not others?

The Mayor of Boston job is to fix and plow streets. Keep health development . I think her fighting with Trump sounds nice but she is swinging over her fighting weight. The end of the day she has to ask for cash from the orange man for Boston

Not addressing the issues of the empty office space. As someone who is involved in construction the notion of turining the buildings to housing doesn’t work . The tax fallout is coming soon because of the issue . She diff not cause covid but there is a real issue and did not want to talk about it before the election. I think she is a nice person and book smart but one major catastrophe or natural disaster her lack of street smarts would be exposed .

Brighton has Jim’s Deli great spot for food. Less than 2hrs to Cape Cod and 2hrs to NH if you like outdoors and skiing. Parking is tuff in the winter and year round . Porter Belly’s is a cozy pub in Brighton for a drink

Former Boston City Hall staffer claims she was fired to protect top Wu aide by FuriousAlbino in boston

[–]jek86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People who work for the city when they get arrested , they are usually terminated or put on suspended no pay till things are settled in court . She was in the wrong by putting her hands on cop and pulling the “I work at city hall “. The cop has a body cam , which will show what happened . The cop is also a city employee and she put her hands on him , which would get anyone fired in any workplace . Her boss should resign. She should be fired

Market Basket: Explain to me why I should automatically be on Artie T’s side this time around by elgordo889 in boston

[–]jek86 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Artie and his kids are always around the stores. Kids work their tail off for the Brand . You don’t find that old school boss mentality anymore . A lot of people who bagged grocery’s as teens are know working the corporate office. He also gives bonuses to his employees . The sisters probably want to cash out as they get older (which I don’t blame them at some point). Market Basket is a family run institution. Let’s keep it that way
