Unfortunately for many New England communities, “Old Man Winter” crashed the Halloween festivities, leaving millions without power and parents having to cancel trick or treating this year.  But not the North End.  Despite Jack Frost’s early visit, the North End community continued with the 2011 Halloween Parade, sponsored by the Madonna Della Cava Society and City of Boston Special Events, and strolled through the waterfront neighborhood streets with the Saint Alfio’s and NorthEast Italian Band leading the way and families of little ghouls and gals trailing behind.  The band trumpeted such classics as Mickey Mouse, When the Saints Come Marching in, and more!  The North End and Waterfront fun continued with inflatable bouncing entertainment, DJ music and family activities.

“Cliff Diving” in Boston

Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2011 Boston

Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2011 - Boston

You would typically expect to see a “high-dive” board about 10 meters above the water. However, this past weekend the Institute of Contemporary Art building at Boston’s Fan Pier was transformed into an 80-foot diving board for competitive cliff diving. Cliff diving is usually considered a recreational sport where the diver jumps from a rock formation into either fresh or salt water. While the ICA in Boston is not technically a “cliff” it was the sixth stop for the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series for 2011.

The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series is the most prominent competitive platform for the sport of cliff diving. On Saturday, over 23,000 sports fans of Boston were introduced to a completely different type of sporting event where 14 divers from nine countries, between the ages of 25 and 46 competed for their spot in the competition’s standings. Gary Hunt, competing for Great Britain, swept the Boston round by accumulating 463.20 points and solidifying his first place spot with 109 points for the overall competition.

Boston was the competition’s first-ever East Coast stop in the United States. On their sixth stop the divers got to experience Boston Harbor’s “temperate” August water (averaging about 68 degrees Fahrenheit at this time of year).

Or to learn how you, too, can experience the exciting lifestyle in the Waterfront District – even if it’s not jumping into the Harbor from the top of the ICA – contact CL Waterfront today!

Tourism Heating Up on Boston Waterfront

Filed under: Battery Wharf, Boston Waterfront Amenities, CL Waterfront Properties NEWS, North End Amenities, North End Waterfront Condos, Rowes Wharf, Things to Do in Boston, Waterfront Boston. • Tags: , . By

Boston Waterfront Tourism Heats Up. Water Taxis are the way to go these days.

These days, the best way to see Boston is by sea, not land.  With the Boston Waterfront tourism growing, it is becoming the hottest real estate to invest in.

There have been all sorts of exciting and interesting small businesses cropping up all around the Boston Harbor, from green taxis to floating vacation rentals.   Just this summer, the Rowes Wharf Water Transport partnered up with South Boston Waterfront hotel to provide zero-emission traveling to and from Logan Airport in the electric-driven boat called “Unplugged”.

For seven bucks and 10 minutes on the water, you get the perfect, stress-free ride to the airport found no where else.  Not a bad deal.  Especially for many of us who know all about the hassle of Boston Traffic or connecting with the red line to the silver line, and so forth on the MBTA rail system.

What’s even better, especially for those of us who live on the Waterfront, are the water shuttles that go back and forth to all the different wharfs.  Now we can hitch a ride to the up-and-coming Fan Pier, visit the restaurant-popular Liberty Wharf, take the Boston Lobster Tours at the Battery Wharf, check out the Innovation District, see the famous Tea Party location, and the list goes on.

Another trending waterfront attraction is the houseboat rental in the Boston Harbor.  Now folks can get a Boston Waterfront experience that’s more immersed than ever before!  Doesn’t get any better than living on the water, especially with the gorgeous Boston cityscape as your backdrop.  These houseboats are now becoming equipped with Wi-Fi internet, roof decks, and other amazing amenities.

There is no doubt about it, the Boston Waterfront is a hot zone for fun and excitement.  If you would like to read more all about it, feel free to check out this most recent Boston Globe article, “Marine Tourism Gaining Steam“.

It’s been a long awaited return of the Stanley Cup for Bruins fans throughout New England.  They have loyally stood by their team for 39 years, and now they can once again call themselves, champions.     And what a thrill it has been.  This year’s playoffs were nothing short of epic.  We can’t help but get excited ourselves, and what’s even better, the Cup made it to our own Waterfront neighborhood.  Here are just a couple photos we managed to get around the Union Wharf luxury Buildings during their visit.

Study Says Hazmat Trucks Too Dangerous for Waterfront

Filed under: Boston Waterfront Luxury Buildings, CL Waterfront Properties NEWS, North End Boston, Things to Do in Boston, Waterfront Boston. • Tags: , . By

TONIGHT: A community meeting on this Hazmat routing study has been scheduled for tonight, Thursday, May 19th at 7pm at the Nazzaro Center. The address for the meeting is 30 N. Bennet Street, and all are encouraged to attend.

The public safety study on the hazardous material, Hazmat, trucks has finally achieved recognition at Boston’s City Hall. According to Boston city officials, the hazardous materials study supports the banning of these trucks from going through any Waterfront and North End streets in Boston. The analysis also further recommends that these trucks be routed completely outside the city.

hazmat ban study revealed for north end and waterfront

Gasoline Tanker Truck in the Waterfront / North End area

This study was contacted by Boston in Spring 2010 after the FMCSA forced the city to stop the daytime ban of trucking routes, which was done in response to trucking companies petitioning that Boston failed to properly analyze truck routes after the Big Dig. Before the Big Dig, hazmat trucks traveled on I-93, and were not allowed to travel inside tunnels or surface streets.

This ban elimination occurred in May 2010, which caused an uproar in the Waterfront and North End neighborhoods, where countless residents have submitted letters and signatures in order to pressure State officials to resolve the situation.

The study has not currently been made public, but it implores the Federal and State authorities to stop these hazmat trucks from traveling through Boston unless they have business with the city, such as gas station deliveries. This restriction would cut down the significant traffic that these trucks represent in the city, which is hundreds of trucks per day.

For our neighbors and clients in the Waterfront and North End, this could potentially eliminate hazmat trucks entirely from Cross Street, Atlantic Avenue, Commercial Street, and N. Washington Street from the Greenway to the Charlestown Bridge.

The results of the study will be revealed and discussed at the community meeting tonight, and city officials are anticipating a positive neighborhood reaction from residents who have long-protested the trucks. So be sure to attend at 7pm tonight!

Taste of the North End

Filed under: North End Amenities, North End Boston, North End Events, North End Luxury Condos, North End Waterfront Condos, Things to Do in Boston, Uncategorized. • Tags: , . By

Some of CL Waterfront’s North End residents got a “taste” of the neighborhood at the 17th annual event “Taste of the North End” last Friday, May 6.  The event was attended by over 700 people and featured foods from 37 different restaurants throughout the North End. Some of tTaste of the North Endhe restaurants including in the tasting were Ducali, Tresca, Lucca, Filippo, among many others.

For the first time in about ten years the event was brought back to the neighborhood for which it represents. In the past the “Taste of the North End” has been held at Saint John School, the Coast Guard base, and the New England Aquarium. This year local residents were pleased to see that the venue was much more open and had returned to its roots. The “Taste” annually raises funds for neighborhood charities, including the North End Waterfront Health Center. Throughout the past 17 years the event has raised over $1 million for these local charities – this year the event raised over $100,000.

The enthusiasm for this event and the North End neighborhood are obvious through the ongoing participation of local restaurants and the attendees who return every year. Included in these habitual “tasters” is State Representative, Aaron Michlewitz, who noted how important the event is for the community when he said, “It shows the uniqueness of our neighborhood and how many great restaurants we have and how many great things we have going on in the neighborhood.” This event truly is a tribute to the local businesses in the North End and a testimonial to its extraordinary community atmosphere.
