East Pier update tonight
There's a small piece in today's Globe that says Massport will give East Boston residents an update this evening on the East Pier project, the $275 million dollar luxury condo and apartment complex on the waterfront that seems to have stalled. As best I can determine, the meeting will be held at the Sacred Heart Church hall on Paris Street.

so, "anonymous"...you'd rather have an empty lot with a building that is falling apart to be the front of a beautiful city like EAST BOSTON?!?!?...or would you rather have a beautiful new building with nice flowers and plants along a harbor walk, and for people on the other side of the harbor, like in southie or downtown to look over and say..."wow, what a beautiful part of BOSTON, i'd like to live there in EAST BOSTON along the water's gorgeous edge someday!"
ANONYMOUS...think before you speak, and next time, look and think outside "your" box and realize that change is a good thing and would be very benefical to OUR community!
To the first gentlmen who posted, have you looked around East Boston lately. Massport has given the community some beautiful pieces of property. Let me make a short list so your head can take it in: Piers Park, The Airport Stadium, the new park being built adjacent to the stadium, Bayswater Street up the Heights. So they let one building, which is dangerously falling apart and is hard to rebuild on, theyve made plans to build on them and they will. East Boston shouldn't be praising Massport but they should look to the other properties that have put money into.
As for paying off people, I dont know where you got that from. As a worker for the Port for 15 yrs, I have never heard of someone being paid off. I know Mary Berningers' husband from passing. He is, from what I can see, a very nice and hard working man. I know that his wife Mary is an outspoken activist for the town. But I have never heard him speak up about anything in this town and I think that shows that he keeps out of stuff because it doesnt concern him. You would think that Massport would pay off someone that would have some pull in this town. If you can make up anyone else let us know cause I dont mind hearing a good story now and again. I hope when those condos go up, you think about your hostile community and see where they stand when they go move in to those beautiful new homes.
OK anonymous, do you have problems with the word condo? Luxury? Or maybe you have another agenda? Let’s unpack your little paragraph and see what you have. Soiled underwear, dirty socks, green fuzzy food and one fact, yes Mary Berninger’s husband does work for MassPort. Everything else is speculation, conjecture and innuendo. You may need help with those words, buy a dictionary and get someone to show you how to use it.
These are the facts,
Mary’s husband works for MassPort, fire and rescue, get over it!
Mary’s husband was not consulted by MassPort about this project.
Mary has been a pain in the neck to MassPort for over 20 years.
No one has fought MassPort harder for the People of East Boston than Mary.
The last person MassPort wants elected Rep. is Mary Berninger
Everyone who knows Mary Berninger is laughing at your idiotic comments about Mary and her husband.
So anonymous why don’t you do this. Go to votemaryb.com, click on issues and you will notice that 6 of the topics on that page deal with MassPort. If you can read them, it will be a stretch but try, they are all diametrically opposed to MassPort’s positions.
All this reading will probably tax you mentally so rest awhile. When you feel up to it go to the positions page. On it you will find about a dozen positions to agree with or not, but they are Mary’s positions that you can factually take issue with. Issues with Mary, not her family.
The next time you want to take on my brother, use a name, don’t be a coward. Use facts not some pea brained, clap trap speculation that only makes sense to people who can’t think for themselves.
ZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please refrain from personal attacks in your comments. Any posts that discuss non-pertinent personal information about the candidates will be deleted.
So, does anyone know what the update was?
I'm also curious to know the outcome of this meeting. Info on this has been hard to come by...
