This is a collection of photos documenting the diverse community of the North end. Most photos were taken at the Paul Revere mall or on Hanover St. It was interesting to see the Italian influence on the neighborhood which has given it the highest concentration of restaurants in all of Boston. I also found the Catholic influence to be very interesting and was surprised to see that nearly all of the local businesses were involved in the procession honoring St. Padre Pio. The neighborhood also has a very rich history standing on the historic freedom trail which brings many tourists through the area.
