When Jim Botticelli launched the Dirty Old Boston Facebook page as a salute to the gritty city he once knew, he discovered that thousands of people were equally nostalgic and curious about Boston’s recent past. This book chronicles the people, streets, and buildings from the postwar years to 1987—from ball games to the T and everything in between. 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. Photos assembled from family albums, student projects, institutional archives, and professional collections reveal Boston as seen from the streets in a period of great transition. A superb gift for the Bostonian(s) in your family!
