It wasn't enough for Emerson College to be labeled as unsafe due to crime on the Common. Now Emersonians are being blamed for all the ruckus in the North End, too. In a Globe article on the North End's partying epidemic, a BPD captain confirms that "students, mostly from Suffolk and Emerson College, cause most of the problems reported, not patrons at bars." Setting aside the issue of how students afford the North End (oh, excuse us—they're Emerson students. Now it all makes sense), it seems odd that students don't make up a significant portion of the bar patrons in question. Nevertheless, we do like Bricco owner Frank De Pasquale's advice: "If residents wanted silent nights... they should have moved to Dover or Marblehead."
