I've provided a picture of the historic Boston Harbor in all its panoramic glory.
While on my adventure through the North End, I was able to get a quick interview with an East Boston Native who provided a lot of insight on North End culture.

The Boston Harborwalk is an important piece of renewal, and an important part of the wharfs. They provide connectivity and leisure space to patrons.
The sounds that most characterize the neighborhood would be the waves and the wind. In some spots along the Harborwalk, the wind adds to a feeling of solitude.

The aquarium gave rise to a new neighborhood with its own unique culture. Seen here, seafood restaurants, outdoor seating, and hotels now line the wharf in true harbor side style.
