And for good reason; after World War II, Boston changed rapidly, without apology, for better and worse, and in many ways forever. Dirty Old Boston chronicles the people, streets, and buildings from the postwar years to 1987. From ball games to dive bars, Dirty Old Boston also covers some of the city's most tumultuous events including the razing of neighborhoods, Boston's busing crisis, and the continual fight for affordable housing. Photographs--assembled from family albums, student projects, institutional archives, and professional collections--reveal Boston as seen from the streets. Illuminating Boston's 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jim Botticelli moved to Boston in 1971 and never left. He is a former DJ at WMBR and WILD. He spent thirty years teaching for the Boston Public Schools and is the creator of the Dirty Old Boston Facebook page.
