Neighborhood View of the Day:
Perceptions about swimming and the water quality in Boston Harbor have really changed. The water taxi dock at Sargent’s Wharf has become an unofficial swimming hole on the waterfront, as shown in this photo shared by Monika Skole Fuchs. Nothing like a quick dip on a hot summer day.
North End / Waterfront Events on the Calendar:
- The North End / Waterfront Neighborhood Council, NEWNC, meets on Monday night, 7:00 pm at the Nazzaro Center, 30 N. Bennet Street. There are two zoning requests (Snow Hill Street and N. Washington Street) and a presentation about a project at Christopher Columbus Park. See the full agenda.
