It won't peak until there is a shooting
Followed by another peace rally.
Followed by free ice-cream.
The Ice Cream place is across the street.
The ice cream place is across the street from the yarn shop. It shows your stupidity when it comes to this neighborhood.
Please relate to me all the shootings and stabbings which have gone down around St. Margaret's in the past few years. This neighborhood is safer than the Fenway. Good luck finding much you ignorant muttonhead.
Hey! That's my yarn shop
in that very cool neighborhood. Don't take too many photos Adamg - we're keeping it a secret... unless you need a yarn fix. Stitch House!
Beautiful neighborhood,
Beautiful neighborhood, beautiful houses and families that care. There are "ladies of the night" that hang out on Dot Ave. Other than that, it's alright.
Now Peak
Ah, now it is Peak Dorchester. A discussion about Dorchester is not complete until an idiot, hearing the word Dorchester, quickly yells "shooting!" Thank you, idiot.
No. Peak Dorchester
Is when every 3rd story on Uhub is not about a shooting in Dorchester, and when the real estate buyers stop having to defend their decision with the line "but it doesn't happen in my neighborhood."
Gibberish
Go back to Melrose.
Have an ice lolly
Free with every shooting.
It's the largest neighborhood in Boston
"Dorchester" is about a fifth of the city of Boston, both in population and area. This means it is bigger than the suburb where you live, and a lot more diverse in both race and class. Therefore, when you assume that the area where this store is located is some kind of crime infested hole, you expose your ignorance.
I have long roots on one of the streets where this store is (and it's not Dot Ave). I'm kicking myself since I cannot remember the name of the store in the 80s.
I look forward to similar comments by you every time some photo of Boston is posted. Til then, keep classy.
What's up with the sudden
What's up with the sudden interest in a store that's been there for 25 years?
Well ...
I was at a thing at the Banshee last night and as I walked back to my car, I saw it all gleaming in the night air and I was just struck by it, is all. No, it's not news, just one of those feature-ish things I just love to run.
+1 for the Banshee - great
+1 for the Banshee - great pub.
No liquor sales?

100% Not owned by
a yuppie!
It's been there for ages...
I took my SAT at a high school near this store in 1998.
kinda late to the party...
by about a decade or more on this one guys....
that store's been there a long time!
Actually longer than that
But again, I didn't take it because it's newsworthy, but because it was kind of cool looking.
Planes have been landing at and taking off from Logan for decades now and yet there are still interesting photos to be taken there, no?
I do not get the headline.
