It may not be officially Move-In Day until Sept. 1, but that didn’t stop the movers and shakers from getting a head start this weekend!

All around Southie, moving trucks were rolling, furniture was being hauled, boxes were being packed (and unpacked!), and the trash crews were on the hunt for furniture ready for its final ride.

And then there’s the Southie street-side furniture showroom — because what better way to celebrate moving weekend than leaving your unwanted treasures on the sidewalk for neighbors to peruse? From chairs and tables to dressers and who-knows-what-else, there was a little bit of everything waiting to be claimed. One person’s trash is another person’s new living room!

Most of the folks we spotted were moving out, while a few were already settling into new digs. And for some, there was a little waiting game happening — moving out this weekend but not able to move into their new place until Sept. 1.

The good news? Many weren’t going far! A lot of Southie residents were simply making a move to another spot right here in the neighborhood.

Despite the chaos that comes with moving day, everyone seemed to be in good spirits — and Mother Nature even cooperated with some pretty perfect moving weather!

What a fantastic Saturday at the grand reopening of our South Boston Stop & Shop!

The neighborhood came out to celebrate the newly renovated store with a day full of fun, food, and plenty of Southie spirit. From custom Boston- and Southie-themed tote bags and red Solo cups to product samplings, delicious burgers grilled up by Chef Paul Wahlberg and the Wahlburgers team, face painting, and a watermelon-eating contest, there was something for everyone!

The newly renovated store also brings more fresh and organic produce, upgraded refrigerated cases, new plant-based and gluten-free sections, Grab & Go deli favorites, expanded multicultural seasonings, and brighter lighting — plus a beautiful community mural celebrating Boston with a special nod to Southie.

The fun continues tomorrow with custom red Solo cup giveaways, product sampling, and facepainting and balloon art for the kids.

We’re excited to see this refreshed store serving South Boston for years to come!

When 72-year-old Robert Pacitti, a native son of Dorchester’s Savin Hill neighborhood, married Sharen Stokinger of South Boston in 1974, he migrated with his new bride five miles to the north and comfortably settled into his new Southie environment.

Pacitti, never on one to shy away from accepting a new challenge, quickly immersed himself in the culture of volunteerism, which is a hallmark of the fabric and identity of the close-knit enclave of South Boston.

He has quietly helped raise millions for various charitable causes, a favorite of which is “The South Boston Special Kids Program,” and his active presence on countless neighborhood boards has earned him the nickname of; “Mr. Fix It.”

But the story we are highlighting has nothing to do with his charitable work, or his unimpeachable reputation in the neighborhood.

🐾 Happy National Dog Day, South Boston! 🐾

Let’s be honest … Southie is basically run by dogs.

From morning walks along the waterfront to neighborhood strolls, patio hangs, and the occasional treat stop, our four-legged friends are everywhere — and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Today we celebrate the pups who make us smile, keep us moving, greet us like we’ve been gone for 10 years (even if it’s been 10 minutes), and somehow manage to get everyone in the neighborhood to say hello.
