Just one night later, a white mob began showering the place with rocks while police stood by. Then a barrage of gunfire blazed back from the house. Anticipating trouble, Sweet had secretly stored away guns and recruited friends to help him defend his home...
It’s not Bungalow 8, folks, it’s Quincy Dining hall—the new and improved version, that is. Patrons of this fine Plympton Street establishment will have noticed a further addition to the space since its summer renovation: a two-row, five-panel set of “mood lights,” unveiled this past week, which adorn the formerly blank wall to the left of the food area upon entering...
