Quote #4
Over the decades since then, nothing has galvanized Southies more than a perceived slight by an outsider who would change The Way Things Are. (1.2.11)
There's only one thing Southies hates more than an outsider: an outsider who wants to change Southie. The nerve. This points to a deep conservative streak that runs through South Boston, one that is perhaps best embodied by Billy Bulger himself.
Quote #5
Beyond common ethnic roots, the magnet of daily life was the Catholic Church. (1.2.14)
Given Southie's heavy Irish-American population, it only makes sense that it's a stronghold for the Catholic Church. Southie's conservative streak once again rears its head.
Quote #6
Whitey Bulger had stayed on in the family apartment on O'Callaghan Way in the South Boston housing project. (2.6.9)
Remember how we said that residents of Southie tend to stick around? Whitey Bulger is no exception. The fact that Whitey sticks so close to his roots would almost be admirable if he wasn't, you know, a mass murderer.
