Back when Boston had a modicum of class

I was a very Young Baby. Looks like back then it was a modern tradition, with respect, integrity, morals, and values. When Southie was actually Southie. When Southie once had a lot of single family homes that a majority of them are now converted to 2-3 family apartments. The videos of all the misbehaving from yesterday is just unacceptable behavior. I remember going in the late 90s & 2000s. Last time I’ve been to the parade was in 2014.

Parade was so much better back in the day!! No barricades up and life was so normal and peaceful! ☘️

Awesome stuff!!

Awesome. Thank you!

The year prior, the Gardner Museum had some late night visitors. 👀🖼️

This makes me sad. Look at it now.

Much better than the colored parade we have now.
