I am from Dorchester MA! A history of Dorchester MA for you all. It was the spot that the City of Boston was founded in June 1630. We have a Dorchester Day celebration and parade down Dorchester Avenue the first Sunday in June to commemorate the day.<br /><br />The local paper is the Dorchester Reporter. Interestingly (or not) it is where Mark Wahlberg and his family are from. Another interesting thing that happened is that my neighbors here were talking about the Dorchester Track Club and the husband said he was going to Dorchester this (last( summer. I asked jokingly if he was going to Dorchester NE, figuring that in a town of 370 or so in NE, he would know nothing about it. He said yes. His grandfather whose last name was Auth lived there. So i laughed and said was he gong to fly into Crete and visit Wilbur, Czech Capital of the Midwest. I could have knocked him over. He was stunned I knew about your town and had actually been there.Mark Shorttnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300630627319876005.post-84242790374247067132012-12-13T17:22:56.635-06:002012-12-13T17:22:56.635-06:00Nice story guys!Nice story guys!Big Macnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300630627319876005.post-79521848679751847382012-12-13T09:47:58.454-06:002012-12-13T09:47:58.454-06:00Hawaii
