No. That was born out of the South Boston projects. I don't think they even exist anymore. South Boston is now a yuppie destination.
Check out All Souls for a look at life inside the projects.
Winter Hill is Somerville just north of Boston, it's only connection to Southie was Whitey.
All Souls is a great book though. The projects were the author is from, Old Colony, have been torn down and remodeled but the Old Harbor projects, where Whitey Bulger was born, are still there. So are the D Street projects.
And like others have said, there's no significant, if any, OC activity in Somerville these days. If they're not Brazilian as Southend said, they're probably yuppies.
