Boston Drive: Dorchester Ave.

[@marycronin2169]

Enjoyed the video, so many memories brought back to life. Been gone from Dot. Over 50 years., but still a large part of who I am.

[@bostonwalkdrive7763]

It's by far the most popular video that I've made. Many comments just like yours - people who lived there and have memories. Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

I grew up in Cambridge, Back in the 1960's we took the REDLINE and trolley to Mattapan station and we thought we were out in the country

At 9:28, if you look to the right where the Thai restaurant now is, was where my grandfather's deli -- The Fields Corner Delicatessen -- was from the mid-1930s to the early 1960s. My dad would love this, I wish he could see it.

[@bostonwalkdrive7763]

Wow! 30s to the early 60s. 👍Must have been a great neighborhood place.

Nostalgia….ya can’t appreciate this on the T. Dorchester Ave is a long strip….Matapan to Dorchester and beyond, this was a frequented trip to and from friends place and work. I was way on the other side in JP. Really miss my adopted home….

I live off 'the Ave' in Savin Hill. Did you know that from where you stopped at the end, Dot Ave actually continues on behind the South Postal annex and South Station and ends up behind the Federal Reserve bank at the intersection of Congress St. When I was young in the 70's you could actually drive through on that strech

[@bostonwalkdrive7763]

I actually wanted to drive thay last stretch but it looked like it wasn't open to general traffic. Next time I'm there I might walk that stretch though.

[@dennisclark4370]

Go out west, or to florida all yall want, but these are the most beautiful cities any where boston is cool

[@bostonwalkdrive7763]

[@bostonwalkdrive7763]

Hi JD. I don't have many views on any of my videos, but of all my videos, Dorchester Ave. Drive is the most popular. I guess there are a lot of people out there who miss the old neighborhood. I did that video last winter, so maybe it's time for another one.

[@markreid4994]

love you channel .can you do a video of Randolph please

[@bostonwalkdrive7763]

I've been meaning to get down to Randolph and do a video there. I'll keep it in mind. 👍Thanks for watching.

[@bostonwalkdrive7763]

Hi Mike, I started to do a video on Saturday going from Brockton to Randolph, and my SD card failed on my Go Pro about 8 seconds into the video! I'll give it another try at some point.

[@sauroid1]

Bombadieri's in Fields Corner had the best cannoli's ever! They were a quarter each and my stomach is growling as I type this. Where I live now, they put chocolate chips in their cannoli's and charge $5.00 each. Old Rocco Bombadieri would be outraged.
