Neighborhood News
This site is an attempt to inform and comment on the “micro-news” and “goings on” that make living in our unique and historic neighborhood so special. We also post information from various neighborhood groups, community organizations, local residents and businesses. A list of upcoming meetings and events is listed on the Calendar.

The original idea for this website was to report on community meetings and events in the neighborhood with the goal of increasing awareness and encouraging participation. We are consistently surprised at how much is going on in the North End and Waterfront community. If you read this site, we think you will agree.

We are bloggers more than investigative reporters. Hopefully, NorthEndWaterfront.com can fill some of the gap left by the newspapers that have cut back on nearly all neighborhood reporting.

Views via Commentary
As is the nature of blogs, we occasionally share our ‘views’ or two cents on various issues where we can add perspective. We do not feel the need remark on everything, but you will notice editorial comments here and there.

We welcome contributions and opinions from others in the community. Discussion is encouraged through the comments section. Even better, feel free to submit your own commentary for publication to info@northendwaterfront.com.

Views via Photos and Videos
We live in a fabled and historic neighborhood with incredibly fascinating streets, parks, plazas, statues, buildings and an intricate waterfront. Through photos and videos, this website will show off these amazing scenes. Photos are also an important part of many articles to add a visual element of the meeting or event.

Read at your own risk!

Who is Matt Conti?
I am the founder and editor of NorthEndWaterfront.com. I have lived in the North End/Waterfront area for nearly all of the past 17 years (I left briefly, missed the neighborhood and moved back). I attend many community meetings and am involved in several neighborhood groups, although I do not represent or speak on behalf of any particular organization. This is a volunteer position and the site is only a hobby for me. There is no paid staff either.
