Attention Dirty Old Boston fans! Jim Botticelli, administrator of the Dirty Old Boston Facebook Page and author of Dirty Old Boston: Four Decades of a City in Transitionwill give a presentation and sign copies of his hit book for the South Boston Historical Society on Monday, March 28th at 6:30 p.m. at the South Boston Library.

About the book:

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. And for good reason; during the four decades following World War II, Boston changed rapidly, without apology, for better and for worse, and in many ways forever.

Rich and compelling, Dirty Old Boston chronicles the people, streets, and buildings from the postwar years to 1987. Photographs—assembled from family albums, student projects, institutional archives, and professional collections—reveal Boston as seen from the streets. Illuminating Boston’s singular tenacity and spirit, Dirty Old Boston presents our proud moments and doesn’t shy away from our growing pains. Raw and beautiful, this book is an important and evocative tribute to the city and its people.
