A variety of monsters, Roman soldiers, and a few hearty Bostonians made their way to the beach this morning for a dip in the ocean. Since 1904, the L Street Brownies polar bear club in South Boston has held the annual polar plunge on the first day of the new year. Hundreds of people run into the chilly cold water of Dorchester Bay on the morning of Jan. 1 in various stages of dress or undress, from traditional swimwear to unique costumes.
