SOUTH BOSTON—That experiment in one-way streets is officially over: "In the midst of the torrents of Boston snow during the historic winter of 2014-2015, Mayor Marty Walsh opted to turn two-way streets in South Boston to one-way only in order to accommodate traffic that was bottle-necked due to the mountainous snowbanks. On Friday, he announced that streets will return to normalcy and accommodate two-way traffic on Wednesday, May 13." [BostInno]

Brooklyn and Dorchester are the heart of hip hop in their respective cities." [Lower Dot]
