  1. The No. End basically always had a low crime rate,
    this is not anything new.
    Fri. and Sat. Nites the No. End this weekend was out of
    control.
    Sat. morning in & around 1 A.M. 4 kids were throwing
    orange construction cones at cars, and it was so out of
    hand, residents were yelling out their windows to stop.

    Sat. Morning 157 Salem St. ran a roof deck party that
    went on unto 2 30 a.m. or later. Loud Music

    People are talking extremely loud coming for the Bova
    Bakery area, where there is suppose to be a Boston
    Police Detail, which from what I gather is not doing any-
    thing to control the noise situation. Quality of Life is a
    Major Issue in the No. End and when the fines are
    given out, we should all see a difference.

    I spoke to a Police Officer from N.Y.C. and he was devastated when I told him what was going on in this
    neighborhood. Our streets are filthy, dog poop is everywhere, trash is put on our streets 7 days a week,
    and both males & females are urinating whenever &
    wherever they feel like. Are these people drinking,
    you can bet your life on it, so we give out more liquor
    licenses to increase the problems. There definitely
    something wrong with this picture.

    Filenes Basement Space has been empty too long, let
    Suffolk & Emerson borrow the money from the City of
    Boston and let them build a skyscraper to house these
    students. Every problem has a solution and if anyone
    else tells you different, they are lying
    .

    2. maybe you should get out a little more. millenium partners is moving forward with the filene’s site…

      1. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT MILLENIUM PARTNERS
        TAKING OVER FILENE’S SITE.

        FOR THE RECORD, SUFFOLK & EMERSON
        SHOULD HAVE BORROWED THE MONEY FROM
        THE CITY OF BOSTON & PROVIDED FOR ALL
        THEIR STUDENTS, THEY WOULD HAVE MADE
        QUITE A FEW NEIGHBORHOODS VERY HAPPY.
