Entering Medford – And Other Destinations

Entering Medford – And Other Destinations


By: Steve Coronella

From Steve Coronella, author of This Thought’s On Me, Designing Dev and Looking Homeward – comes another collection of fine writing featuring some heartfelt memories of his Boston days, complemented by his sharp assessment of the world at large.

This Son of the Hub recalls his short-lived political career, sunk by an unconvincing performance in a 1972 junior high school debate when he assumed the role of Richard Nixon against a shapely and more attractive George McGovern, who “may have been wearing a mini-skirt as well.”

Sensing a certain cinematic appeal, Coronella also believes it’s time his lovable hometown hit the big screen. The way he sees it, “Medford has the embattled history, larger-than-life personalities, and film-friendly surroundings to produce an Academy Award-winning motion picture.”

Approaching Ireland, where he has lived since 1992, Coronella finds himself adapting to a familiar yet foreign land which has changed beyond recognition – culturally, politically, economically – from the Old Sod of Irish-American lore.

So strap yourself in for the journey of a lifetime. With an ocean-spanning imagination showing the way.
