I listen to 98.5 Sports Hub. A guest they had on was named Mark Gemelli from the North End. I think Mark makes his famous meatballs for the St. Anthony feast. His son Nick is a producer? on 98.5 Sportshub....

it bothers me that some italian men put on the degenerate/psycho/ignoramus schtick, its insulting. italian men civilized the whole world 2,000 years ago, italians and law, art, music, architecture, literature, everything the italian man is the most cultured man of all ...........wake up from the cartoon caricature.

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..... ..............

Well maybe there are too many considering frans mom and dad contributed 12 to 14 Fericanos... But Im sure there must alot of ANTHONYs... thus the reason to differentiate... I get it now😊

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!!!'

What the hell happened to the Connah Store? I live in Foxboro, but hit Boston Fri, Sat and Sun. Also, how do you feel about the tyrannical BS not allowing the North End to have outside dining? Side note, when the city of Boston re-instated the mask mandate and vax papers, the North End ignored it!! Best neighborhood in America!!

Yes the Conah store is no more ! The owner of the building woyld not re -new Mark’s ( conah store owner ) lease !
