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!!!'

Love and miss the stories! Growing up in Canarsie Brooklyn was the same, if you conducted yourself in the right manner there was no problems. We had a crew that always looked out for one another and that was the bottom line! Great to see you again brother, keep it up my man.......

Anthony: Read “Street Corner Society: The Social Structure of an Italian Slum” by William Foote Whyte, 1943. It’s about the North End of Boston, it’s gangs, involvement in politics, clubs etc. It is a classic and right up your alley.

Just found your channel. As someone that graduated from CCHS, a grandfather from the west end and grandmother from the North End, I kind of miss the old times. We knew the score, I loved the bakeries, loved the connection, so thank you for the memories, while they may not all have been good, they are where we came from.

[@aliasamerican2290]

Great video Anthony. I remember the altercation that you had with Gizzy on Cooper Street like it was yesterday. I think the Gizz was even older that you said. He was about 21-22 at the time. His underage girlfriend Renee was in Jackie's house and she was ignoring him, so he took it out on you. Do you remember hurting your hand from punching the roof of a car that was parked after the incident?

[@northendstories4352]

I Fukin love you!!! 🙏🏼❤️

Anthony when you make the video "ok for children" it shuts down your comments by default so your two new videos comments off (just in case you werent aware) and yeah its pretty dumb that youtube does that.
