Born in Boston in 1953, the street and house is all gone now, I miss Old Boston.

Straight from Cambodia to Boston in 1986. Boston in my veins 💯💯💯

don’t listen to them, it was much better back in those days… things were much simpler…now look at today’s society, men are allowed in female bathrooms.

Miss you my home . But none of my dreams are there and everyone changed and left .? But Boston still is my love

Been there, had the best time in my life.. too bad i will take my life without being able to live there again. The monument of Gubran khalil Gubran knows me very well….

This vid brings back memories of when I lived in Boston. The best times! I noticed the production company brought in outsiders from the Midwest to narrate this travelogue. It's because out-of-townahs will nevah undastan whut a Bawstin townie is sayin'! 😁

The US Civil War was the first US war that the segregated 2nd class citizen Irish immigrants fought in. The Massachusetts segregated Irish regiment, was just one of many northern states Union Army Irish regiments which made up the famed segregated Union Army Irish Brigade. 180,000 men at their peak. Their ranks were decimated during the Civil War, because it was convenient and easy to put a segregated 2nd class citizen Irish regiment at the front of the attacks on Johnny Reb. The Irish never refused an order and would not retreat unless ordered to do so. That was when the Union army commanders started calling them "the fighting Irish." There is a Union Army Civil War memorial in South Boston, in remembrance of the Irish soldiers who fought and died in that war. It is the first of US war memorials the fiercely patriotic immigrants in Southie fought in for every war since the Civil War for their new country, the USA. Southie has the first Vietnam War memorial in the USA, predating the big memorial in DC. South Boston lost 25 young men in combat in Vietnam, more than any other US community of it's size, of about 35,000 people at that time. I think it would be more than appropriate to have a bigger public memorial in the downtown area for the Irish veterans of all of the wars of the USA that these Irish American US citizens fought in. Boston was always an "Irish city", with a long history of great Irish people, families, politicians, athletes, educators, religious clergy, etc. These Irish peasants who fled starvation and landed in Boston, dirt poor, starving and destitute. They made Boston the great city it became.

@@SM-oj6sg Thank you. I lived in Southie for 20 years. I moved there when I was 20 years old to get better employment. My mother was from Boston, so I had a lot of family there. Great town Southie was. But I went back there to visit a couple of years ago, and I couldn't find any of my old friends or anyone else I knew. All I saw was a lot of rich yuppies. It might've just as well have been Beacon Hill. These yuppies are not having families and they are too chickenshit to protect their own neighborhoods to keep it safe for the kids to play outside, like we used to do. It's not the vibrant, very active family-oriented community as it was. The wealthy "gentrification yuppies" bought Southie right out from under the long-time working renting families, who were forced to move [displaced] because they couldn't afford the new extremely high rents that these greedy filthbags are charging and getting. All we have now is memories and nostalgia and stories of the past.

this video is haunted

Copley Place long ago lost its stone fountain, and also any soul it had. It is now another a ghost town compared to what it was. No more book store. No more movie theater. Ugh.
