"A Southie Memoir" is a story about a South Boston and a Boston that no longer exists. It's the story of two street smart Southie kids growing up in the tumultuous world of the 60's. Brian Wallace was a young basketball star who could never stay out of trouble when Sully, a roly-poly trouble making con man/con man, showed up. On their first boyhood encounter, at six years old, Sully lit the house next to Brian's on fire. On their last boyhood encounter, before Sully left for the Army and Brian left for college, they conned their way into staying for a weekend at the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis. In between those encounters they used Boston as their personal playground. You will never forget some of the people Brian and Sully met and the incredible lessons that the street taught two young Southie boys.
