Your ancestors are rolling in their grave to the notion of how synonymously you refer to the “Seaport” & “Southie”. “Southie Waterfront”….cmon, that’s M street beach and castle island. Not the ICA, Pier 4, or the VIA/Benjamin.
Oldtime southie wouldn’t be caught dead within 100 yards of those establishments.
I beg to differ! It’s always been the South Boston Waterfront! Us locals just refer to the beaches as the beaches i.e. Carson, M Street. We used to go to Jimmy’s Harborside “down the the waterfront.” And I think you’re selling us short. I see plenty of lifelong residents down the Seaport District enjoying all it has to offer. ; )
