Salvati Receives Well Deserved Award
Lifelong North End resident Marie Salvati, a community activist, was recently the recipient of the Fred “Uncle Fred” Carangelo Award presented at the 51st North End Christmas Luncheon.
The award started back in 1994 after “Uncle Fred” passed away.
A large turnout saw Salvati recognized for her many types of community services and other neighborhood involvement over the years.
Carangelo started the community fundraiser to provide Christmas gifts to seniors and families who would not be able to enjoy the holiday due to financial difficulty.
Congratulations Marie, well deserved!
Villa Michelangelo Handicap Access Blocked
It’s already a new year with problems once again at 190 Salem Street, 40 Snelling Place.
This time around, the developer and general manager have a scaffolding and debris blocking egress to Villa Michelangelo housing.
The President of the North End facility and residents have tried, unsuccessfully to fix the dangerous problem with the developer and made contact several times with the 311-city hotline, that obviously fell on deaf ears, and access to the property continues to have major problems for abutters.
Villa Michelangelo needs the area clear of debris and the scaffolding to make it safe for the safety of its residents, especially the handicapped.
