While it may be somewhat infamously known as "Rat City," the Allston neighborhood is also home to many college students, young professionals, and families that bring an eclectic culture to an unknown part of Boston.
Now that I've called this neighborhood home for the second year in a row, I hope to share with you some hidden gems off the B-Line in Allston.
BOSTON – Decades ago, the little maritime chapel in South Boston's Seaport District provided a haven for weary sailors and fishermen docked along the waterfront. But as the economy shifted, so did the demographics of the chapel's parish, though not its original purpose.
During a dedication ceremony Thursday, the Rev. James Flavin, Episcopal Vicar for the Central Region of Boston's Archdiocese, blessed and raised the wooden cross to the top of a new, albeit still modest chapel to replace the 63-year-old shoe-box shaped building at 65 Northern Ave. known to dockworkers and rail bosses as the Chapel of Our Lady of Good Voyage.
