Plot.
Four friends—Tristan (the leader), Simon (the right-hand man), E-Bone (the hot head) and Money (the mediator)—are street smart kids growing up in the tough Roxbury section of Boston in the 1980s. Starting out as small-time dope dealers on Blue Hill Avenue in
are framed by cast concrete surrounds with bracketed pediments. Each building houses 24 units, each with one or two bedrooms.
These buildings were designed by Saul Moffie, a local architect, and built in 1926 to answer growing demand for housing in the area which had been fueled by the expansion of the streetcar network along Blue Hill Avenue. Most of the growth was in the Jewish population, which was migrating to the area from locations closer to Boston's financial district. This migration made Mattapan a major center of Jewish culture
