I lived at E. 4th and L St., almost next door to the pub?, in the photo. It was a restaurant when I lived there. I loved living in Southie.. I used to run down L St. to the Bath House, where they had a weight room that they let us guys from Southie use it for free. I would run for miles along the beach and out toward Castle Island, if I could go that far. I went back for a visit a few years ago and I couldn't find any of my old friends or acquaintances. A lot of rich yuppies bopping around. It might've just as well have been Beacon Hill with all of the "well healed" new residents. I almost wanted to cry. Because now all we have is nostalgia, memories of days gone by of Southie when it was a vibrant, very active family-oriented community of people with a love and pride of their hometown. I wonder where all of the displaced families went to? The people who were renting and were forced out of Southie, because they couldn't afford the new extremely high rents, due to the "gentrification" in Southie. A fancy word "gentrification" which means that the rich people want what you've got so they just buy it right out from under you. They only problem is that most of these yuppies aren't having families and they're too chickenshit to protect their own neighborhoods like we did, and not always waiting for the police to show up, to keep the neighborhoods safe for the kids to play.
I lived in the lower end from birth until I was 26. When I was born we lived in the D st. Projects on Crowley Rogers way. When I was 12 we moved to w ninth st after a few years in Old harbor on old Colony ave. Only to End up back on w ninth. Then to old colony with my grandmother on Mercer st.
