Winter Hill Gang

The Winter Hill Gang was an infamous Irish-American gang that ran Boston. It was at its worse when James “Whitey” Bulger was in charge in the 1970’s. James got away with almost everything he did because he had a deal with the FBI. We’ll get into that later though, let’s start with how the gang was formed. The Winter Hill Gang was developed in the 1960’s and the founders were James J. “Buddie” McLean and Howard “Howie” Winter. James McLean was born in 1930 and Howie was born in 1929. They met at a trucking company where they both worked. They gang began in North Boston in a neighborhood called Winter Hill. Some of their first “operations” included loan-sharking, waterfront pilferage, and truck hijacking. They later on did more low risk but…

extortion, conspiracy. He accomplished this all while working as an FBI informant in his days as part of Boston’s Southie Irish gang, the Winter Hill Gang. Whitey Bulger was born into a large Irish-American Catholic family on September 3, 1929, in Dorchester, Massachusetts. He was one out of six children in his home at the housing projects Old Harbor. His younger brother, William, would later become president of the Massachusetts Senate for seventeen years. The Bulger’s family didn 't have a lot…

create a town belt, which had a positive effect on sustaining the green space around the city. The Settlers also took advantage of the hills beside the wetlands and reclaimed a lot of area in order to develop more flat land for the city. This had a negative impact on the environment because the landscape was dramatically…

you ready”? I respond with “Of course” We hop in the now warm car and begin our drive into the hills. We get to our destination and slowly hop out of the car trying not to make a sound, grab our rifles and begin to walk. Walking…

have it in a random, isolated location in the woods that are across the lake from my cabin which is an isolated area to begin with. I chose this location for more a joke factor in a sense because people would not expect this at all and a random person that stumbles upon it would be in awe with what they have just “found”. People may think that it is something signifcant from the past and/or holds great value to the past as well. They would potentially think that it is historic. It will be on a…

I rode the dirt bike safely and at a normal speed for five minutes and then me, my dad and my brother finally ended the trail. We were on the open area and just like the sign at the beginning said there were a lot of dirt hills everywhere. We figured out that we had about ten minutes left until we needed to start driving back to the car and then go home. So we decided to hang out around the hills and ride around on the hills. We did a few jumps and we were about to leave when I went way to…

Everytime someone mentions mountains, I cannot help but to think about the trek up my first mountain. The first mountain I climbed, was Mount Fuji in Japan. Also known as Fujisan, this mountain stands at just over twelve-thousand feet. As the morning of the climb approached, my family and I got up early to go to the bus station. The bus ride was an hour long, past lush green farms,terraced rice paddies, down back country roads, before we arrived at the SUicide Forest. The Suicide Forest is…

In the vast plains of Montana, full of grass as green and bright as an emerald with a few drops of dew after a rainy day, with rolling hills that go on farther than the eye can see and an infinite clear baby blue sky above it all, there was a little red barn. It was old and rustic, completely different from the other cheery and bright cottages in the tiny town of Wicksdale. It’s paint peeled off the walls a little bit more every day. It creaked and groaned with the gusting winds that accompanied…

people equate themselves and their actions by comparing it to others as it impacted their lives. As Mtv reality show, The Hills, portrays symbolic interactionism by allowing their viewers to accept that their real-life problems are ok as they’re seeing others doing it on the show. For example, Mtv reality show, The Hills features a 20-year-old, Lauren Conrad a college student attending the Academy of Arts in the University of San Francisco, California as she and her friends embark their first…

how fall sneaks up on you, making you realize that winter is coming soon. The lack of greenery in this sculpture makes it feel heavier then spring and summer. The colder colors of fall also contribute to making it feel heavier. Fall has a middle aged like appearance show with the lager nose, facial hair, and lines around the mouth that I believe to be wrinkles. Fall more certainly seems to be the wake up all of summer, it sort of reminds of a middle-aged crisis. So winter should be the final…
