In most other neighborhoods, you might see boring old chairs, traffic cones and pails. Jason, though, shows us how Southie has mastered the art of space saving - with everything from vacuum cleaners to old kiddie toys. Here's hoping their owners keep them clean of snow tomorrow.

Unlike on my Rozzie street, where neighbors help each other out for the sheer neighborly joy of it all, Jason reports things work a little differently on his South Boston street.

On Broadway.

In South Boston, that is.
