George LoCascio: South Boston’s Italian of the Year
Charlie Baker Serves a Few Pints at L St Tavern Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker was in Southie this past Sunday to attend the rededication ceremony of the Vietnam War Veteran’s Memorial at M St Park. Baker later stopped by the L St Tavern, where he enjoyed the Patriots’ win and even hopped behind the bar to serve thirsty patrons pints of Guinness. Also in attendance at Will Hunting’s favorite local bar were L St Tavern owners Jackie and Susan Woods, Baker’s wife Lauren, Massachusetts Supreme Court Clerk Maura Doyle and Massachusetts Civil Court Clerk Michael Donovan.
George LoCascio is a man who has a lot of friends – a real lot of friends. In fact, it’s doubtful if he has an enemy in the world. He has run the grille at thousands of Southie “times”. He always has a smile along with a cheerful “How’s it going, brother?”, whenever you see him. He is also a fine example of just how successful Italian-Americans have been in becoming part of the fabric of American society, on their way to realizing their own individual American dreams. Last Friday at a ceremony in M Street Park, George, always hard-working and helpful, received well deserved recognition as South Boston’s 2014 Italian of the Year. He was joined onstage by his wife Mary, as Mayor Marty Walsh performed the honors. It was beautiful September evening, with many goodies, inflatables for the kids, and music by the Street Magic aCapella group.
