VOLUME XVIIII - ISSUE 20

Fourth of July Weekend: Here at Home

By Rick Winterson

In our last issue (June 29, page one), South Boston Online suggested that you stay home – or at least nearby – to celebrate America’s most important Holiday. Well, we did just that, with only the minor exceptions of going to other areas near South Boston that are accessible by the Red Line.

And do you know what? It worked!

The weather was particularly fine, despite the occasional threat of thunderstorms. There were art exhibitions and musical events all over the Boston area during the three-day weekend prior to the Fourth of July Holiday on Tuesday. Many of these were in the North End, so nothing else would do except to walk the Rose Kennedy Greenway, which had come back to life for the weekend. We ran into Adam O’Day there. A few years ago, he had his studio in The Distillery on Second Street; nowadays, he and his family live in Woburn, but Adam

is still painting his (very) vibrant, award-winning urban landscapes.

The North End is really the “Old Boston” of Revolutionary War lore.

It was the residence of young Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Ben Franklin, who served there as apprentices (read “slaves”), when they were growing up. No wonder they desired independence so strongly. There were crowds, including a group of friends who had traveled here from Houston. They were highly impressed with the history in Boston, as well as the courtesy they were shown by everyone. And between the North End and Faneuil Hall, there were music and dancing everywhere – break dancers, Dixieland, and so on.

On Sunday, in Cambridge near Harvard Square (yes, the Red Line goes that far!), Club Passim at 47 Palmer Court presented a musical event they called “The Boston Celtic Music FesContinued on Page 8

Boston Pops 4th: A More Sophisticated Blend

T

he Boston Pops really shined this year with performances under the direction of Keith Lockhart by rocking Melissa Etheridge, pop singer Andy Grammer, Tony Award winner Brian Stokes Mitchell; but especially with “Hamilton” star Leslie Odom Jr. SBO attended the taped rehearsal of the event which matches the performance given on the 4th, sans the big fireworks finale. This Fourth concert by the orchestra was definitely one of the best programs I can recall in my twenty plus years of attending. Eaton Vance sponsored the event, “picking up Continued on Page3

With Gratitude for Our National Parks

By Richard Campbell

It is hard to quantify the incredible impact of the National Parks on our nation.

Let’s just say, our forefathers who established the NPS gave us a gift of inestimable value that continues to grow. With 84 million acres and 409 park areas, the 20,000 employees of the Park Service serve about 290 million visitors a year. In Massachusetts we are particularly blessed with very historical national park areas, with 16 parks and about 200 landmarks. The variety of the kinds of parks, from the Boston Harbor Islands National Park area, to Appalachian Scenic Trail, Frederick Law Olmstead’s Historic site to the Cape Cod National Seashore, and Minute Man Historical Parks, provide a multitude of explorations that can be made.

While some like hiking, or rafting, others may prefer to go dig through archives and artifacts, or visit the many museum quality exhibitions, or go on a guided interpretative tour of a site- the vast majority of which are free of charge.

The parks are free because

centennial last year on August 23, 2016, brought more overt celebrations of the park service, and several recent documentaries, the national media has given this great agency its due; but citizen advocates are needed to protect this treasure!

A view of Georges Island, Boston Harbor Islands National Park we, the taxpayers pay for them, but also we get a great return on our dollar, with the local Massachusetts positive impact being 488,500,000. We, the citizens- not corporations- own the national parks, and that ownership comes with a little responsibility to prevent private interests from encroaching on park lands for profit. My favorite park in Massachusetts is the unusual partnership park of the Boston Harbor Islands, perhaps because of familiarity, but also because when it is hot in the summer here, a short, relatively inexpensive boat ride to the islands puts me in contact with the ocean.

Without a doubt Boston Light makes us unique, being the first and last light house station in the nation still operated by the Coast Guard. The collaboration between the city, state, federal and private nonprofit entities makes the 34 island management complex, but all the partners do a great job. I am continually astonished when visitors from around the world head out to the harbor to explore, and then I talk to residents of Boston who have lived here all their lives and never been out to see them. Because

Lest you think that the parks are some distant entity that you need only go to in the summer, look again carefully at the programs offered all year-round, from the preservation of battlefields, to land and water conservation, and urban park and recreation recovery, to the registry of historic places, almost every community in the state benefits directly from the service of the National Parks. The service rendered by this branch of the federal government, and its many affiliated volunteers, is the call of quiet patriots, who preserve our national heritage and resources for generations to come. If you want to learn more about our national parks go to www.nps.gov/massachusetts.

Tom Flaherty Remembered Thomas P. Flaherty passed away last Thursday, with his family around him. He was waked on Sunday and interred in Blue Hills Cemetery on Monday. Tom was a Vietnam veteran, serving there in the U.S. Army. He spent 34 years on duty as a Firefighter in the Boston Fire Department. He co-owned and operated “The Cornerstone”, hosting numerous neighborhood events there, including the Kickoff Breakfast Fundraisers, which became a custom that opened the St. Patrick’s Day Season.

Most important of all, Tom was a loyal family man, devoted to those around him for almost 50 years. Tom was truly a good man.

We and all of South Boston already miss him.

Boston Pops 4th: A More Sophisticated Blend

Continued from Page 1 the batton” from David Mugar, who had sponsored the free event for decades, and the programming was pretty darn nearflawless. Alix Steel of “Bloomberg Daybreak Americas” cohosted the show with Carol Massar from “Bloomberg Markets” and credit must be given to them for elevating the production with snappy commentary, and on point dialogues.

The Pops in the past could sometimes be too much talking and not enough showing, but not this time around. Besides the excellence of the orchestra and the guests, this show included really fun, and for once, not too corny audience participation. Though younger audiences may have been confused about pop songs from

the 1980’s, the kids near us were dancing their hearts out.

Kieth Lockhart made his 20th 4th of July concert special for having profound pieces, wrapped in the usual patriotic medley confections, and with some of the best John Williams compositions from the Pops new album. Also, the world premiere of “The Sum of Us” an original composition by Broadway / Hollywood veterans Alan Menken and Jack Feldman, provided a unifying message about people coming to America.

The US Army Field Band opened the concert with patriotic renditions that really showed off their brass section, and the Middlesex County Volunteer Fife and Drums, who, put in a rousing performance as well.

Brian Stokes Mitchell had a

big baritone voice that wowed the crowd early on, and Melissa Etheridge played guitar and sang some of her big hits, but there was no doubt that Leslie Odom stole the show with a performance that literally took people’s breath way. Even the 1812 Overture seemed especially expressive, fresh, and

poised. The crowds on the day before were quite manageable and security was handled very well. If the gigantic celebration is too much for you, but you still want to see the Pops live, I recommend you try the “rehearsal” the day before.

Weekend tival”. Youth music combined with step dancing, fiddling, and even a ceilidh - check that Gaelic spelling – all day long. And midway through the Festival, a drone showed up, circling overhead for an hour or more.

On Monday, South Boston Online took its own advice. It was a stay-at-home-day that centered around the Harborwalk. It’s impossible to describe in words how lucky we are in South Boston. We have miles and miles of 100% clean, pristine beaches, bordered by a Harborwalk stretching around Castle Island, over to the Kennedy/UMass Boston complex at the end of Columbia Point.

From “Connect Up City” on M Street Beach to the volleyball nets on Carson Beach, young people at play were everywhere. And there’s a newly opened Molly Moo’s operating the concessions in the McCormack Pavilion. Try their double cheeseburger On the morning of the Fourth itself, we ventured to Boston (still via the Red Line) to listen to the annual reading of the Declaration of Independence. Mayor Marty Walsh opened the observances at City Hall.

Dana Whiteside sang the National Anthem. The Parade proceeded to the Old Granary Burial Ground to lay wreaths at the burial spots of John Hancock, Peter Faneuil, Samuel Adams, and Robert Treat Paine. The

Declaration then was solemnly read from the Old State House Balcony

by Captain Commander Dennis Obrien of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, America’s oldest military unit (founded by Gov. Winthrop in 1638). This is an impressive event, which is now 241 years old. The first such reading took place on July 18, 1776, when the final draft of the Declaration of Independence first arrived in Boston by horseback from Philadelphia.

The afternoon of the Fourth was spent on Castle Island, amid the scent of South Boston’s neighborhood tree, the unique lindens (a.k.a. basswood) that bloom in early July – bewitching! Barbecues were everywhere. The

Queen Mary 2 paid us a visit, docking at the Black Falcon Terminal in the Raymond Flynn CruisePort, especially so her passengers could experience the Fourth right here in “The Cradle of Liberty”, including attendance at the Pops Concert on the Esplanade. We viewed that, along with other fireworks displays, from Dorchester Heights along with hundreds of other smart South Bostonians. Illegal fireworks on the nearby projects punctuated the evening air, but a CD player featuring Ray Charles’ songs of America - in his classic singing style – caught everyone’s ear. At the end, we were even more thankful for America, the Fourth, and the ability to celebrate it in a quiet but thoroughly enjoyable way.

Sullivan’s at Children’s you to decide how that coincidence might have originated.

Bernie Sullivan, proud owner, at Sully’s opening day in the Milk Bottle at Children’s.

History was made last Thursday, June 29, at noon. After 66 years in existence, the iconic Sullivan’s at South Boston’s Castle Island opened its first branch eatery. Sully’s new branch is located in the equally iconic Hood Milk Bottle at the Children’s Museum on South Boston’s side of Fort Point Channel.

It’s open seven days a week; 11 a.m.– 6 p.m.; 9 p.m. on Fridays.

by Rick Winterson Sometimes (but rarely), both history and geography seem to come together in surprising and unexpected ways. Very likely, these coincidences are just that – only coincidences. But there’s some folk wisdom about coincidences that says, “There really are no coincidences – coincidences are just God’s way of doing favors for us, without letting us know it was Him.” The first ever branch of Sullivan’s opened at noon last Thursday, June 29, in the landmark Hood Milk Bottle at the Children’s Museum.

This brings together three Boston icons onto one South Boston site – the Museum’s plaza on the edge of the Channel in South Boston’s Fort Point neighborhood. How is that for a coincidence? South Boston Online will leave it to

As for intersecting trajectories, the Children’s Museum was originally located in Jamaica Plain on the Jamaicaway, across from Jamaica Pond near where Mayor/ Governor/Representative James Michael Curley, the Purple Shamrock, once lived. The Museum was founded in 1909; 70 years later it moved to South Boston by Fort Point Channel, in partnership with the Larz Anderson Auto Museum.

However, this partnership did not work out, so the Children’s Museum soon became the sole occupant of their South Boston site.

another dining location at South Boston westernmost site along Fort Point Channel. It joins the Children’s Museum and the Hood Milk Bottle, both of whom “came home” to South Boston 38 years ago.

Is this therefore “back to the future”, or “what goes ‘round,

comes ‘round”, or some other kind of coincidence? South Boston Online will let you figure that question out, but in the meantime, be sure to visit the new Sullivan’s branch in the Milk Bottle at the Children’s Museum.

The Hood Milk Bottle first came into existence in the 1930s on Route 44 in Taunton – not exactly one of your modern superhighways at that time. It’s a 40-foot structure and fittingly for something shaped like a milk bottle, it sold ice cream.

Hard times eventually ensued, and the bottle fell into disrepair.

Eventually, it was bought by Hood Dairy, donated to Children’s in 1977, and installed the next year on the Museum’s plaza. The Milk Bottle has been the occasional home to various concessions, but its 18-foot interior was tough to work with (and in). Now we can leave it to Sully’s to solve that problem.

Despite its 66-year reign as a South Boston landmark on Castle Island (Sullivan’s first opened in 1951), Sully’s is really “the new kid on the block”, compared to the Hood Milk Bottle, which was originally built in 1930, and the Children’s Museum, founded more than a century ago in 1909. So Sully’s, led by owner Bernie Sullivan, is comparatively young, spunky, and a great purveyor - especially of hot dogs. And the venture into the Children’s Museum Hood Milk Bottle is the first time Sully’s has opened a branch operation of any kind, anywhere. This is a business venture worth watching. It’s really news.

To complete this story, recognize that Sullivan’s is locating their first ever branch in another South Boston location. From our hometown’s easternmost point – Castle Island – Sully’s has now opened

Supper Club at CAPO a “Boston’s Best”

by Rick Winterson The 200+ “Boston’s Bests” list from the Improper Bostonian magazine has just been published.

One of the South Boston winners is none other than CAPO at 443 West Broadway. Specifically, they were recognized as Boston’s Best New Addition for their new basement “Supper Club at CAPO” (see IB’s page 98). It’s a bit of a throwback to rooms where

funky jazz and other night club entertainments were presented; their supper food continues in the hand-crafted, classic Italian tradition, as do their drinks.

The Supper Club at CAPO now has become a South Boston place that’ll compete with Wally’s on Mass Ave., the Beehive in the South End, and Ryles in Cambridge near Somerville’s Union Square.

Community Update – Convention Center regulations were in place – before such regulations were actually even contemplated. Originally, the BCEC was going expand in approximately ten years, so an agreement was made to clean up those contaminants when the BCEC expanded. This expansion was canceled – or at least deferred – a few years back. A partial, standalone cleanup has since begun.

A local resident asks a number of questions about the Convention Center.

by Rick Winterson The Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (the BCEC), a part of the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, opened its doors in the summer of 2004.

It offered more than two million (2,000,000) square feet of convention and exhibition space.

When the BCEC was under construction, various environmental contaminants were found in the area in back of and to the south of the existing structure.

This was due to long-gone factories and businesses in South Boston that had dumped wastes before current environmental

A progress meeting on this cleanup was held at the Condon Community Center on Wednesday evening, June 21. It was hostessed

by Michelle Wu, currently President of the Boston City Council; the main speaker was David Gibbons, CEO of the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority.

Briefly, fairly significant progress was reported – summarized as follows: The Phase Two environmental site conditions and targets had been approved in October of last year, including the decision to keep the back end of the BCEC in use for parking for the foreseeable future. Groundwork is around two-thirds complete and will be finished in August.

Soil containing higher concentrations of lead, asbestos, and PCBs – 600 cubic yards or so – will be removed “surgically”, and other land uses tailored to remaining conditions, i.e., very limited

Site security, dust alerts, truck tire washing, and other preventive measures are all to be maintained. Cypher Street’s condition – quite poor and potholed – was also addressed.

When the meeting was opened up to questions from those attending, other topics were brought up.

A half dozen speakers from the residential neighborhood immediately nearby the Convention Center spoke of late-evening noise from the Lawn on D and specific clean-up issues. They expressed being “concerned at what I am hearing”, and asked for an immediate “commitment tonight” to getting the neighborhood once again involved with Convention Center issues. Open space, housing, and parking were brought up

as well. Interestingly, one audience responder asked for “a full-time, paid-for City Planner” to work on various community issues around the Convention Center and the impacts of the Center’s activities..

CEO David Gibbons and the group he brought to the community meeting apologized for any failure to communicate. He mentioned that he has been in his current position as CEO for just 18 months and saw his first priority as securing the Convention Center as a local “economic engine”, similar to the role of the Hynes Convention Center in the Back Bay/Copley Square area.

Further meetings and better community relations were promised.

Generally, it seemed to be a productive community meeting.

Let’s see what follows.

Accident Last Weekend

by Rick Winterson

At 10 p.m. last Saturday evening, July 1, two cars collided on Dorchester Avenue.

They had just crossed the bridge over the Southeast Expressway into South Boston. Both vehicles were northbound, on the section of Dorchester Avenue that passes the Polish Triangle approaching Andrew Square.

It was a rear-end collision. The collision generated a loud noise that could have been confused with a sudden thunderclap or nearby fireworks that were being illegally deto-

nated. The police and a fire engine arrived promptly. No fire broke out, although absorbent material was spread on the pavement to soak up liquid leaking from the rear vehicle, which had suffered severe damage. Damage to the front vehicle seemed much less significant.

Fortunately, there did not appear to be any serious injuries. The driver of the rear vehicle seemed stunned by the collision. The other occupants of both autos were walking around unaided.

No ambulance was called to the scene.
