What’s Going On Today:

Plenty of goings on at the North End library and a NEWRA committee meeting tonight with 5 zoning applications on the agenda.

The Events Calendar has all the details.

What’s new on the blog:

The North End is a highly scrutinized neighborhood, and the Globe runs a front page article of the “culture clash” when a reporter takes a ride-along with the Boston Police on a Saturday night. I point out some of the interesting tidbits.

Speaking of zoning, columnist Karen Cord Taylor tells the story of a Beacon Hill school driven by downtown families that could happen in any neighborhood. See Downtown View.

What the kids are talking about:

The Improv Asylum show on Sunday, sponsored by NEAD. See the photos.

Under the radar:

So, did you hear about the guy who saved a man stuck in the harbor?

Notable News Found Elsewhere:

Just For Fun:

For a good cause … hugs!

Featured:

The photos from the Tony DeMarco statue unveiling continue to get the most hits on the website.

Pulse Poll:

You were pretty sure Romney won debate #1, Obama #2 … so, who won round #3?


Neighborhood Photo of the Day:

A sad photo today. Ball and Buck has closed on Lewis Street after a relatively short presence at the North End’s most curious retail location.

    FYI – Ball and Buck relocated to the corner of Newbury St. and Dartmouth at a larger location with a barber chair. It seems to be doing very well and growing!
