Dorchester, Massachusetts

 

Had my second vax yesterday at the First Parish Church in Dorchester, Mass. It felt like Christmas Day. A cool bright March morning in Dorchester, a mostly unsung section of Boston, adjacent to Southie. UMass Boston and the Kennedy Library are in Dorchester,  a large and varied neighborhood of mostly wooden houses, mostly triple-deckahs, with some big old ship-captain house on the hills and a mix of fascinating older buildings from back in the day when Dorchester was its own town.That yellow house looks like 18th c. to me, and no one's fussing over it.  Those triple-deckahs are over Boston, Cambridge,  and the rest of New England.
