As Boston Mayor Marty Walsh wraps up his first year in office, The Scrum sat down with him at Zume's Coffee House in Charlestown to talk about what he's achieved so far-- and which parts of the job are more difficult than he expected.

We also spoke about some deeply personal topics including why Mayor Menino's passing has changed the way he feels about his job, why his trip to Ireland earlier this year meant so much to him, and his ability to balance being an active member of the recovery community with a job that requires non-stop attention.
