Like many things, it's not entirely clear to me what's going on at Four Corners this Saturday (March 13) at 5PM. Though the Four Corners Action Coalition has organized something they call a rebellion, it seems to be a more usual protest, albeit one that includes a walking tour and a multimedia performance art piece.
And that is what makes Dorchester one of Boston's more surprising places. Better known for criminal transgressions, Dorchester is a place of remarkable creativity. The neighborhood has been remaking itself continually since it agreed to be annexed into the greater metropolis. No one will be taking a duck tour to Four Corners anytime soon and not just because it's not near the water. That doesn't mean it's not a vibrant community in which people tangle the weft of their lives into the woof of the surrounding infrastructure.
21 Bullard Street is located on the slopes of picturesque Mount Bowdoin. While the neighborhood may have seen more spendthrift days, the community is alive and well and rallying. If you are interested, and you should be, the tour starts at this address at 5:00 and ends at the same place. Food, music, video and insight will follow.
Thanks to Boston Indymedia for the tip off.
