  1. Are you people kidding me demolish why don’t you just demolish the rest of the north end. It really is awful what is being done to the North End. Just terrible. I know times have changed but this is just a little bit to much.

  2. these were just built/renovated a few years ago from the old liquor store, and never had any success. Please demolish as quickly as possible. Anything is better than what is currently there.

  3. Are the buildings per se the problem, or the businesses that rented the spaces?
    If the row is demolished, chances are a more elaborate, higher, structure will be built. This may give an impression of a wall….walling us in and walling others out. The site of the building serves as an entrance of sorts to the North End. We can’t jeopardize this welcome mat to our neighborhood.

    1. None. I just gave her information that was already published that she probably never saw. Who are you and why the hell are you asking me if I have anything to do with the proposal?

  4. Calling anything a wall is hyperbole. That whole section is a nasty scar left over from a botched car surgery in 1957. Build out the whole parcel 5 stories tall and begin the healing.
