Achievements
Mayor Thomas Menino dedicated a portion of Border Street in East Boston as Sal Lombardo Way for the service Sal has provided to the city. Sal was instrumental in building up East Boston’s business districts in the early 1950s. His investment to provide East Boston’s business district with a major supermarket (Liberty Market), its first function hall (Lombardo’s Function Facility), and a shopping mall (Liberty Plaza) in the Central Square area has helped stimulate the economy in that area for over 50 years.

Famous quotes containing the word achievements:
“Fathers are still considered the most important “doers” in our culture, and in most families they are that. Girls see them as the family authorities on careers, and so fathers’ encouragement and counsel is important to them. When fathers don’t take their daughters’ achievements and plans seriously, girls sometimes have trouble taking themselves seriously.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“Freedom of enterprise was from the beginning not altogether a blessing. As the liberty to work or to starve, it spelled toil, insecurity, and fear for the vast majority of the population. If the individual were no longer compelled to prove himself on the market, as a free economic subject, the disappearance of this freedom would be one of the greatest achievements of civilization.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
“When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality, they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man’s name live for thousands of years. But above this level, far above, separated by an abyss, is the level where the highest things are achieved. These things are essentially anonymous.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
