  1. Great opportunity for North End residents to take a stand. It’ll be interesting to see how many NIMBY phonies from “Save the North End Waterfront” show up! I wonder if it’s close enough to the “Waterfront” for any of them to care.

    1. This is a time for the neighborhood to come together not for people like you to call people names because you disagree with their desire to block a hotel from being built on the waterfront.

  2. I hope & pray to God all these Signatures we got were not done in vain. I am constantly hearing this is a done deal, if this is so,
    The City is insulting our intelligence once again. I hope I am W R O N G. The City certainly does not need the $30 million that
    was suppose to be offered for this particular location. We are now being surrounded by High Rise Bldgs., and we need a Nursing Home &
    Rehab more than another Condo or Apt. Complex. I don’t think we should be left in the Dark, but there doesn’t seem to be that
    much Transparency here.
