    Hellz Yes!!! Nick is the only thing that kept me motivated after I got shot. I saw a pic of him in full kit, in a combat zone, after losing the leg. Knowing that a soldier was willing to put the work in and get back to active duty after enduring the loss of a leg kept me motivated to get up and do the PT, and push to get out of the chair and off the crutches. May the universe Bless him with all her skills and knowledge.

    @BostonsF1nest Рік тому +1

    In regards to why there are certain pockets of the city with/without an accent. I’d say if you want to experience what Boston is actually like then visit either the South Shore or the North Shore, so the suburban areas just south and north of the city. Or visit a construction site in Boston, or a Bruins game. Boston nowadays is almost entirely gentrified. The ppl who grew up there 30-60 years ago do you live there anymore. Very few anyways. They live in the towns outside the city and commute to Boston for work.
    For example: he said he lived in Weymouth at one point. I grew up and live in Weymouth. 20 minutes south of Boston. It’s way more traditionally what ppl generally think Boston is than most parts of the city.
    Southie is not what it was 20 years ago. Old Irish working class ppl do not live there anymore. They can’t afford to. It’s all young yuppie professionals from out of state. Same goes for practically every other neighborhood in Boston: Charlestown, the West End, South End… the only neighborhood that’s even remotely close to what it was in the past still is the North End. Even tho it’s still very expensive to live there, there are still a lot of Italian families and Italian run small businesses present. It’s probably the best and most authentic “Little Italy” in the entire US. Dorchester recently has started to become more gentrified but there are still pockets in that area that remain true to their roots, that’s a very diverse part of the city.
