The documentary aired in 1984, but it was about his 1983 campaign.

Why doesn't WGBH do such great stuff today? That piece is excellent. And why isn't Matt O'Malley running?

What a quality video. The music, the people, so hilarious. And good to know mumbles has always been mumbles and didn't just develop that speech pattern out of nowhere.

watching Ms. Menino work out phrasing, fiscal not "physical" policy, is a real treat.

I could watch Boston tv from the 80s all day long. Thanks Adam.

I wasn't even born yet, thanks for the upload! It's crazy to see all those cigarettes lit, especially in public buildings lol. Hopefully we will see the day when cigarettes are banned...but that's never going to happen smh

I'd love to see the day alcohol, scratch tickets, plastic containers, loud noises, crying kids, delayed trains are banned.

Well, not really, but you get my point.

I like this, Hyde Park was part of William Weld country dedham at one time in the 1800s , a lot of forestry in Hyde Park nice town, residents were lucky to have modern factory's in their own neighborhood that provided good paying union jobs to residents. I haven't seen 1 minority in this documentary, it tells you alot about this neighborhood!!!

It's pretty interesting to listen to what Menino says starting at the 23:19 mark, where he describes his plan to bring the Main Streets program to Roslindale Square. How many politicians can point to a speech they made 30 years ago and say that 1) they executed their plan as described, and 2) it worked pretty much exactly the way it was supposed to? Of course, not a lot of politicians have survived long enough to see their plans through.
