Wasn’t about Irish really , it was about anyone who wasn’t born and raised in the NE! People that didn’t act appreciate in this town . It because Charlestown was our closest neighbor ( predominately Irish neighborhood ) we fought all the time ! There is a shirt bridge which seporated us . We called it the Charlestown bridge , they called it the North End bridge lol ❤️🙏🏼💪🏼💯

I love the North End ..............."Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti day". I remember hearing this as a child. It was definitely a thing in Massachusetts and New England, because my parents would literally save pasta night for Wednesday.: The brand we all know as Prince pasta started in the North End at 92 Prince St. In 1912, a few immigrants from Sicily started the spaghetti business.The location for Prince in the North End eventually became to small, so it ended up moving to Lowell, Massachusetts in 1939.This Mass. City Was Home To One Of U.S.' Biggest Pasta Plants in the world..................PS: We in Boston LOVE our history..... ..............

Fascinating!!! The Italians followed my folks into the North End as the Irish were moving on after the great flu epidemic of 1918. There were terrible prejudices in my grandmother's time but my parent's generation embraced their Italian neighbors in East Boston and Winthrop. They really fused as fellow citizens in Winthrop by WW2. My mother's folks were North End Irish who moved successively with Irish fortune from the North End to the West End to East Boston and became neighbors with the Kennedys at Point Jeffries. Old Joe courted my great Aunt Mamie Kane . My Grandmother answered the door when he came around. 'No, Sir, she's not about.' We asked her why she rejected him, she would say, 'He had bird shit on his face. We never knew if she meant acne or freckles. Never mind. My great Grand father Padraic Kane forbad the marriage as he knew their game and talent for smelling money. Paddy had properties all around the North and South Shores all by the water. Paddy was a tea totaler who in his job as a boiler inspector for Cunard and White Star lost his toes in an ship-board accident and when told he was to be anesthetized he cussed them out and shouted, 'Cut away, damn you!!!'... 'But Mamie! We could have all been rich!!!' When I visit kin I take advantage of the old Boston Mariner House on North Square. I can get a lovely room dirt cheap for my service in the USMM. More often than not my window opens on Paul Revere's backyard. I sleep with the window open to take in the hallucinating aromas of the incredible restaurants surrounding me.

btw- my maternal grandfather Joe Judd was an armature winder in the old armature works where the ramps to the new bridge is. He was among the very first to respond to the Great Molasses flood of 1919 which is where I think you started the vid at Columbus Pahhhhk. His story and those of our folks in the West End who responded haunted us children at after Sunday dinner stories when it was time to go to bed. 'And the poor horses!!! St Francis help them!!! Screeming their hearts out scaulded to death!!! The poor things!!!'
