Ever notice that plaque on the second story of 37 Sheafe St? Behind the fire escape? Next to the abondoned building? No?
It reads:
Birthplace of
Rev S.F. Smith
Author of "America"
1808 - 1895Erected by the Old South Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution
1897
The licensing board today approved the transfer of the Manager of Record from Patrick Mendoza, who is currently being held on charges relating to the shooting last month on Hanover street.
Mendoza family attorney, William Ferullo asked the standard questions of McQueen for the board:
The third floor of NEWHealth's North End building will be closed for four weeks from August 7th - September 3rd.
During this time, the dental and vision departments will be relocated to NEWHealth's Charlestown site at 15 Tufts Street. Podiatry services will remain at the North End location but will be relocated to the first floor.
If the ceiling installation takes longer than anticipated, NEWHealth will alert the community.
Neighborhood Council president Joel Faller outlined proposed changes to the Council's bylaws at the July meeting. Notably:
Patrick Mendoza was arrested today by Boston Police Fugitive Unit. Police say that Mendoza will be arraigned today in Boston Municipal Court.
From BPD Media Relations:
The Licensing Board held an information hearing today on the fitness of Patrick Mendoza, who is wanted by the police for attempted murder and other charges, to continue to be the manager of record for the Monica's Trattoria which he owns.
Mendoza family Attorney William Ferullo opened the hearing by stating his intention to petition the board for a transfer of the Manager of Record from Patrick Mendoza to current Operations Manager Amanda McQueen.
The licensing board will hold an information meeting tomorrow at 4pm to "review the character and fitness of the Licensee and manager of record pursuant to M.G.L. ch. 138 sections 12 and 26".
Walk around the North End and you can't help but notice all the odd first-floor apartments that used to be storefronts. As semi-public spaces, those storefronts were a part of the fabric of the neighborhood and played a vital role in fueling the vibrant community that exists here.
The sidewalk in front of 450 Commercial St is being extended. My non-expert assessment is that the extension will create enough room for Rocco's Cucina to apply for a sidewalk dining permit.
