When I started NorthEndWaterfront.com, I was amazed at how often Mayor Tom Menino was in the North End – obviously his favorite neighborhood. He was always kind and patient in taking endless photos. He did not care whether someone worked for the Globe, a blog or just wanted a cell phone picture with him. Here are a few of the photos that I took of Mayor Menino in and around the neighborhood.
