South Boston sometimes gets a bad rap, so let’s listen to an eccentric tour guide named Wayne B. aka “Kidstyle’’ list off some of Southie’s highlights.

“Southie, as you can notice, is a great place,’’ Wayne B. says in a short clip posted to reddit by Tim Callanan on Wednesday. “It’s everything you want, you know what I mean?’’

That short clip comes from a longer 2012 documentary about Southie man Wayne B., a seemingly popular figure around town. The video follows his connection to South Boston, and the recent gentrification pushing people out of the area.
