Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the South End's early years as an upper- and middle-class residential district to its time as an immigrant and rooming house neighborhood and then to its recent urban renewal, residents have shaped its legacy and its place within the city of Boston. Locals have worked in common to make the South End a safe and vibrant community for over two centuries. Notables such as architect Gridley J.F. Bryant, preservation advocate Arthur Howe, and pedestrian advocate Ann Hershfang contributed immensely to the built environment. Residents like settlement house leader Robert Woods, immigrant and author Mary Antin, politician and activist Mel King, urban gardener Betsy Johnson, and lawyer Harry Dow, to name a few, shaped minds and lives alike. Add to their ranks artists like Allan Rohan Crite and Kahlil Gibran, jazz club owner Joseph Walcott, longtime restaurateurs such as the Foley and Manjourides families, and bar owner and gay rights advocate Leo Motsis and a true picture of the South End's history and diversity begins to emerge.

Download or read book Music You Will Never Hear written by Angelo J. Kaltsos and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MUSIC YOU WILL NEVER HEAR is told from the perspective of the nephew of William Goudas, who was living with his grandmother and William in Roxbury, Massachusetts, when the crime was committed. From his arrest, to his time in confinement, to the time spent with him after parole, author Angelo J. Kaltsos relates the story of his talented guitar-playing uncle’s wasted life. In 1946, when nineteen-year-old William “Bill” Goudas was recruited to assist in a daring late-evening burglary, he never would have guessed the night would end with the tragic murder of police sergeant William F. Healey. Presenting a true tale of crime and tragedy, Music You Will Never Hear recounts the events of that October evening decades ago, as told by author Angelo J. Kaltsos, Goudas’s nephew. Goudas was a talented musician and had dreams of attending the New England Conservatory of Music, but these were not to come true. Instead, he would spend a large portion of his adult life in prison, leaving his talent to grow only as a prison musician and his family forever affected by the events. From his arrest to his time in confinement to the time spent with him after parole, Kaltsos relates the story of his uncle’s wasted life. This personal narrative, presented from a family member’s perspective, describes the killing of a police sergeant and the killer’s unknown, extraordinary gift as a prison musician. “I would have got up and played in those clubs with all those dudes, but there’re going to ask, who have you played with. What could I say? I’ve played in prison for twenty-two years for killing a cop.” — William Goudas related this story to the author after his trip to New Orleans.

Book excerpt: It was Boston in the 1960s - a time when nightclubs, bars and lounges had the city alive at night, and a good time could continue after hours; And when entertainers frequented the city to take advantage of its nightlife. Add in the world of the sporting life, and Boston's deceiving glamour could not be denied. In the middle of it all were five best friends known as "squares", who attended high school by day, and received a far different education by night. The girls road in Cadillacs, drank in bars and explored their sexual awareness. They made a pact to just have fun and enjoy the rest. Their fun was innocent, the culture wasn't. Their values are tested. Consequences arise, and prices must inevitably be paid. "They were campaigning to get elected, with no shame their game" Bonnie McIlvaine http//www.5squares.biz "This slice of American History is fascinating.

Download or read book The Corner written by Melvin R. Bielawski and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE CORNER provides an historical record of the life style of young men in what could be considered a typical neighborhood prior to and during the WW II period in America. Toledo, Ohio is the setting of this documentary. The specific scene is the corner of Junction Avenue and Lucas Street, located in a solid Polish/American neighborhood. The story could be written of many other neighborhoods and ethnic and racial groups throughout the United States. It just so happens that the writer was a member of this particular group and neighborhood. Dramatic changes have taken place since the time period addressed in THE CORNER. WW II impacted the way of life of all Americans. Ethnic and racial neighborhoods and groups are still located throughout the country but on a far less scale. Nicknames, a sign of popularity in most cases or of a special trait of the individual, are not as common in today's society. New and interesting developments have impacted the old meetings places and methods of communication amongst the young men throughout America. Television; new and interesting hobbies; and diverse civic, religious, and other group organizations that provide meeting places and many other features that make for a more effective life style of American youth have replaced the "old" but unforgetable meetings on the local "corners". Unfortunately a part of American culture and history are lost for the ages. THE CORNER captures a capsule of a part of American life during an era that has literally disappeared from the the American scene.
