Seagull Time

The road that runs along the ocean in South Boston ends at Sully's, a venerable shack that's served tourists and townies alike for the past 70 years. 

When you belly up to the counter you can get your fill of fried clam strips, hot dog rolls stuffed with lobster, and scoops of ice cream. It is summer made manifest. 

But my favorite factoid about Sully's has nothing to do with their menu. If you want to know when they close for the season, don't bother checking the website. They're on "seagull time." That is to say when the owners look out into the parking lot and see more seagulls than people, they know it's time to pack up and head to Florida.....
