BAKE SALE & FLEA MARKET FOR ST. FRANCIS HOUSE

The North End Friends of St. Francis House will hold our 6th annual Bake Sale and Flea Market on Friday March 19th and Saturday March 20th at the Nazzaro Community Center at 30 North Bennet St.  The event will go from 8am to 6pm on Friday and 10am to 2pm on Sat.  We will have all kinds of homemade baked goods and wonderful pastries and cookies from all of the bakeries and pastry shops in the neighborhood.   We will also have Mary Romano’s world famous eggplant sandwiches, meatball and sausage sandwiches.

We will also have tons of great flea market items for you to buy.  We will also be collecting spare change.  No amount is too small (or too big).  If you would like to send in a donation, make checks payable to St. Francis House and mail to John Romano 247 Burlington Avenue, Wilmington, Mass. 01887.  All of the proceeds we raise those two days and collect ahead of time will be matched by an anonymous donor, so your donation counts twice as much as you give.  For more information call John Romano at (617) 880-9901 or e-mail at patjr@comcast.net.

Toilet Trash on Freedom Trail

DateThursday, October 22, 2009

Tom Schiavoni sends in this picture and comment:

COPP’S HILL MOMENT: A Clean Street Initiative Down the Tubes
 
Since October 20, this illegally-discarded toilet bowel has greeted Freedom Trail visitors from around the world on Hull Street within yards of Old North Church. Why the stewards of the historic shrine or any of the commercial and residential abutters have not taken  action to remove the plumbing fixture is a graphic commentary on what they really think about the neighborhood.

Did you call to have it removed?

Why is it the responsibility of the Old North Church or the nearby businesses to take care of something a residential property owner put out illegally. If you see it call it in. It would have taken less time then taking a picture and writing this post.

It was called in - and believe it or not, this is not the first time this has happened at this spot. The previous "deposit" required more than two weeks of daily calls before it was removed. The point is that it it is helpful when local businesses and institutions take pride in their surroundings. Is this really how Old North Church wants to be viewed by the hundreds of people passing by this spot every day?

Maybe it would help to look up the building owner's name and then post that info to embarrass him/her. I still don't think Rev. Ayers or Rev Patty should have to worry about the junk that irresponsible property owners put out unless it was the Old North's toilet!

So we'll learn whether or not the Mayor's staff pays attention to posts on this website...which they should!
