Walking East Boston : Jeffries Point, Piers Park, Boston Harbor & Skyline Views (April 2023)

East Boston is a neighborhood located in the city of Boston, Massachusetts. It is located on a peninsula that is surrounded by the Boston Harbor, and it is connected to the rest of Boston by tunnels and bridges.
The neighborhood has a rich history, dating back to the 1600s, when it was first settled by English colonists. In the 1800s, East Boston became a hub for shipping and industry, with many immigrants from Ireland and Italy moving to the area to work in the shipyards and factories.
Today, East Boston is a vibrant and diverse neighborhood with a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial areas. It is home to a large Latino population, as well as many immigrants from other parts of the world.
Notable attractions in East Boston include Piers Park, which offers stunning views of the Boston skyline and the harbor, as well as the East Boston Greenway, a network of walking and biking trails that connects several parks and open spaces in the neighborhood. Additionally, East Boston is home to a number of great restaurants and bars, as well as a thriving arts and culture scene.

NICE VIDEO OF EASTIE. I LIVE IN REVERE BUT I GO TO EASTIE EVERYDAY, I USED TO LIVE IN EASTIE. EXPENSIVE TO LIVE.

[@christinebojic492]

Piers Park along the waterfront is really cool with the skyline of Boston in the background 😊👍

[@ActionKid]

It's a really amazing area!

[@brucedahms4508]

50+ years ago when I was in my 20s, this was said to be one of Boston's rougher areas. I read a tourist article once back then in which the author jokingly wrote that when subway trains pulled into Maverick Station, they formed into a defensive circle! Since then, the area has been wonderfully transformed with all the new construction and new parks making it a beautiful neighborhood. Many thanks for this excellent tour!

[@ActionKid]

Thanks for the info Bruce! I'm happy this neighborhood has become a safer place to live, work and visit

[@lindalane7341]

My first fight was in the school yard in kindergarten or first grade in the school yard. It was always Linda I want to be your friend. Then I have something to show you in school yard to your going to fight me.

11:35 That's an intriguing sign!

I walked the same steps you are taking during my childhood that park is the same.

[@amandad6104]

East Boston is nice. Glad you had a chance to visit.

[@ActionKid]

It's such a nice area!

[@lindalane7341]

That Park is right across the street from my uncle's house..The house that used to live in that my grandparents owned when I was child.

[@lindalane7341]

That was a huge vacant. We could get into the fence in certain parts. I don't know if someone cut a hole in the fence or if there was a door.. but I remember walking across it and onto the docks to go fishing with my grandfather once. 😊

[@hadleygrass]

That's The Mary Ellen Welch Greenway thank you very much.

I liked your videos, I just don't understand English very well, a dream to live in Boston!!!

[@fbrieden]

Holy smokes has the area changed! I'm from PA, but I worked at that 'Active Shipyard' from October 1982 until March of 1984. In fact, the brown brick building by the gate was where I, and 15 other welders from Pennsylvania stayed. I had an excellent 2nd floor harbor view from where those 3 windows are located. Also, the skyline view at night was awesome with the 'Pru' being the focal point. None of us were strangers in Joey Dee's either! Thanks for the memories, and nicely done!

[@lindalane7341]

The hill on the right side of you was called the Rockies. It had overgrown tall weeds that we would venture through and go exploring on adventures walking through breaking them as we went. I'll never forget there was an old mattress down on the bottom at the end of it near the stairs you past and someone was living there when I was a child . We used to go down this hill on our sled in the winter. My sister broke her arm there was no fence and we fly right into the Street but there was no cars there there was no traffic. At the top of the hill is my school yard that was the first elementary school I went to. I started kindergarten there it was and still is Samuel Adams Elementary School and had my first fight in the school yard early 1970's..

[@joeshieldsfromboston3639]

You should have took a left at Boston scuba place and walked out to the end of the pier. Great view of the city from there too

[@lindalane7341]

That ocean and the view of Boston was my view from my living room growing up. I didn't realize how privileged we were. We were actually not wealthy at that time . My grandparents first arrived in New York, Ellis Island like most of the Italian imagrants at that time. Then they went and stayed with family in the North End. My grandfather was a Masonary and bought the house on 136 Marginal Street. My mother grew up in that house before she got married and from 3 years old until 8 years I on that street.

[@lindalane7341]

I am a first generation Italian scillian American.

[@MarkSide_]

Boston seems cleaner then NYC.

[@lindalane7341]

Our Lady of the assumption is coming up that was my church where I received my first communion.

[@lindalane7341]

I think you're on my old Street Marginal Street. That end was blocked off from that way too it was a dead end.

[@lindalane7341]

That Park wasn't there when I was a kid there was a big chain link fence. It ran that whole length of the street from where you started where I said it was blocked off. Further up there was also a train track an old trains were still in there when I was child. I have a picture of me and my brother and my on one of the trains when I was 5 years old.

[@lindalane7341]

To your right was the community center that I went to when I was six I walked myself there to gymastic class it was a community center. To the left I went to the park across the street and built a snowman.

[@lindalane7341]

Oh wow I never saw that far down my street that was blocked off right there was a dead end Street.

[@lindalane7341]

My friend lived Ciela lived across the street in one of those house for a little while . I asked to her house.

[@lindalane7341]

I saw a water rat down there when I was 7 years old and it was the size of a dog. I ran home and never went back again I didn't know water rats were that huge. It had to be at least 30 lbs.

[@user-ls1lf3vz8h]

dont exagerate. there is no rat weighing 30 lbs your fear made the rat grow.

[@lindalane7341]

The brick house was vacant lot when I a child. Boys threw rocks at me.

[@lindalane7341]

That was blocked off when I was a child we had to walk back the way you came. It was military I think I never saw it as it was fences off.

[@joeshieldsfromboston3639]

That tall ship is actually a restaurant.

[@lindalane7341]

It wasn't all fancy like that even into the 1990s I believe .Instead of bricks they were wood planks and it was dangerous. There were no railings back then. That was the dock.

[@Cindilu2065]

Very informative sign that nothing happened 😅

[@ActionKid]

A grand sign for nothing

Looks like Bosston has lots of aerial cables. I would expect then to be underground.

[@lindalane7341]

I don't recognize any of it yet. I don't know if that part was blocked off too.

[@Sammykyt]

No offense to anyone who lives in East Boston, but Jeffries Point is honestly the only nice part in my opinion

[@ActionKid]

I really enjoyed the other parts of East Boston too

[@Sammykyt]

As I said, it’s my opinion

Haha, if you're gonna be ignorant keep your opinions to yourself fam! ;) Eagle Hill, the Flats, Central Sq, the Heights, the whole neighborhood is boss.

[@lindalane7341]

Oh okay this is where the fence was and it was blocked off to the public at this exact spot. We couldn't go in here this is where they did and started when I was a child in the 1970s. I don't know when they open that up it was closed in the 80s too I believe. That's where the fence was and there was a military base or something.

The bubble gum factory is down the street around the corner.

You should try parking. You have to live there not easy to park.
