East Boston Blizzards
Old Chairs Mark the Spots
By: Charles Giuliano - Jan 26, 2015

Reprinted with permission



Winters in East Boston
Law of the jungle
Handicapped spots
Handed down for generations
In front of their house
Easy access
Come and go
No problem
Record numbers on Webster Street
Knowing someone who knows someone
Friend of a friend
Joe sent me
Made Man
Gang wars over remaining spots
Shoveled out
Back breaking labor
Claimed with old chairs
Death threats to move them
Even in summer
It's not just snow
Stones to protect your turf
Keying offenders
Flattened tires
Tuned up
Fingers crossed
Coming home after dark
Nightmares
Midnight gambling
Or even shopping
Too risky
Hunkered down
Canned goods
Till spring
