In one corner we have the ultimate symbol of gentrification: Starbucks. In the other we have the neighborhood that has fought gentrification more loudly than anyone: South Boston.
Now the two are meeting, and no one is making a peep, except perhaps to say, “I’d prefer it were a Dunkin’,” as Derek Flood said Wednesday as he stood near the proposed site, the old Quiet Man Pub just next to Broadway Station.

And wasn't it The Quiet Man Pub where, some years ago, a young man was beaten to death on the street right outside the pub? All of the patrons said they didn't hear or see a thing. Ask the mother of that yoiung man how she feels about the place being torn down. Boston Globe, stop romanticizing the "old Southie". Good riddance to this dump.
