A Canton man who claimed he was trying to "protect the North End" was arrested early this morning when he started taking photos of a woman sitting in car and then proceeded to start cursing her out, Boston Police report.

Police say the woman was double parked outside 266 Commercial St. around 2:43 a.m. waiting for AAA when the man came up to her and started snapping away. She yelled at him, which only made him start taking photos of her license plate, police say:

Dave Atkins took a walk along the Rose Kennedy Greenway recently and was amazed at the change it's meant:

... Gazing along what used to be an impassable mass of green steel and concrete once can see an arc of green and from one vantage point, glimpse South Station and the spire of the Old North Church at the same time. It is possible to walk between all these parts of the city--and also to see the harbor. I remember how as a college student I was hardly even aware there was a Boston Harbor--it was hidden behind the highway. Today the city is connected and once can see the bay, the airport, and beyond. ...

He notes the Greenway is holding a coming out party on Saturday, Oct. 4.

A soy pizza, that is.

Frank Genevieve, 52, formerly a Franciscan friar in upstate New York, pleaded guilty today to five counts of statutory rape in connection with incidents in Boston between 1977 and 1989, the Suffolk County DA's office announced.

In exchange for his plea, Genevieve had an 8-to-10-year sentence suspended. If he stays out of trouble for the next five years, he won't go to jail. As part of the sentence, he has to register as a sex offender, wear an ankle GPS bracelet and stay away from kids.

Prosecutors charged Genevieve would bring boys on trips to Boston, where he would then have his way with them:

Boston Police report arresting a Roxbury dude and a Dorchester teenager around 10:40 p.m. yesterday on charges they stole a pair of mountain bikes from Charter and Michaelangelo streets. Police say the pair were caught on the bikes, and that witnesses had reported seeing them on foot earlier in the evening. Unlike Tuesday's alleged North End bike thief, they did not attempt to escape by jumping into the harbor.

Meanwhile, in Dorchester, police report that Luther Boyd, 42, ended a lengthy argument with his brother-in-law by plunging a knife into him around 4 p.m. yesterday at 142 Harwood St.:
