From ball games to dive bars, Dirty Old Boston also covers some of the citys most tumultuous events including the razing of neighborhoods, Bostons busing crisis, and the continual fight for affordable from family albums, student projects, institutional archives, and professional collectionsreveal Boston as seen from the streets. Illuminating Bostons tenacity and spirit, Dirty Old Boston presents our proud moments and our growing pains. Raw and beautiful, this book is an evocative tribute to the city and its people.
