Moisture maniacs

‘‘Adult Swim” (encaustic painting), by Nancy Whitcomb

“L Street Brownies’’ (swimming club in South Boston) (1922), by George Luks (1867-1933). Open-air nudity in 1922?!

'Without contempt'

Mural in South Boston saying "Welcome to South Boston" in English and "Fáilte go mBoston dheas" in Irish. Also shown is a Celtic cross, the coats of arms of the provinces of Ireland and the words "Sinn Féin" "Irish Republican Army" and "NORAID." This building was torn down along with the building to make way for housing.

“The sea is dark and choppy.

So far out on the vellum streets
only taxis.
Three nuns sit on the stone bench
and study the storm without contempt….’’

— From “South Boston Morning,’’ by Norman Dubie
