North End Neighborhood Night Out brought out hundreds of North End / Waterfront neighbors, Boston Police and local officials to the newly renovated Prado (Paul Revere Mall) on Tuesday evening. North End Against Drugs (NEAD) organized the celebration, previously known as National Night Out.
Ralph Martignetti was presented with this year’s community service award presented by Boston Police District A-1 Captain Kenneth Fong as part of the event. Martignetti (known as the Comish) has been instrumental in coaching and growing the neighborhood’s youth sports leagues.
North End native, Charles “Chuck” Wilson, was also celebrated by Mayor Walsh and BPD Commissioner Gross for his recent promotion to Superintendent.
