by Rick WintersonIt’s always a pleasure to welcome new enterprises to South Boston. One of these, with the picturesque name of “Sushi Guys”, is an example. Exactly a month ago, Sushi Guys opened for business at 283C Old Colony Boulevard, in a handsome new building along Old Colony on the block between Vinton and Dorchester Streets. The cuisine at Sushi Guys is deliciously Japanese throughout. There’s an incredible variety of menu selections that will satisfy every hungry customer.

Flynn used his impromptu meeting to gather South Boston’s reactions to SBTAP (the “South Boston Transportation Action Plan”), which was being developed for South Boston by the BPDA/BTD. The comments from those who attended Flynn’s meeting were almost uniformly negative.
