I used to work in Southie. I spent a lot of time in the area, and even hung out a couple of times at the Good Will Hunting bar (which is much smaller than it looks in the movie). At 3 a.m., there’s not a more terrifying neighborhood in New England. The only thing I can say about South Boston is that all the stereotypes are 100 percent true. They are their own parody video, and yet if you make fun of a Southie kid to his face, he will f**king break you.
As haunting as the idea of a real-life “Real Housewives of South Boston” reality show is, it’s als owicked pissah because, unlike the Bravo “Housewives” installments, in the South Boston version, the drugs will be wicked hard, the violence will be felonious, and the entire show will have to be subtitled.
