Title A name given to the resource James Golden Description An account of the resource I have chosen a photo and map that I think convey the culture of Charleston, that is still influenced by the strongly white, Irish Charleston of the bussing era in Boston. The map shows the percentage of residents over the age of 25 with some college education. You can tell, particularly compared to Downtown Boston, Beacon Hill, and Back Bay (which are all also in the photo) that Charleston is overall less educated and we can infer from this, more blue-collar and less academic. This is supported by the fact that Charleston also has very few colleges and university compared with other parts of Boston – the most prominent of which being Bunker Hill Community College. The picture also gives a good sense of what it is like to live in Charleston. The cars are literally parked bumper to bumper, which gives a sense of how dense the population is in these neighborhoods. There is also a Boston Fire Department sticker clearly visible in the rear windshield of the blue car, and a green, Irish “Erin Go Bragh” sticker with a harp on the opposite side of the windshield (not visible in this picture). Combined with the fact that the second car is a large pickup truck, it is highly evident that this is a community that values hard work and manual labor, and is extremely proud of their Irish heritage. Additionally, the several plants on the front steps and window sill of the house in the background shows a strong sense of trust and investment in the community. The picture was taken on the corner of Mead and Main St. in Charleston, and the Map is from Social Explorer. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/6ce37a8e9fecf8f5c4a65ec3a9c7febb.jpg 9172ee249d3bde639b77fffaefb48c60 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/5ec22cc7bcb8d43593012cb67826ad42.png 0901fdf132b3231fe9b5d0c387905300 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/d466d2f950db8c3e300d59cf2eff014b.png 63c1a614df384ce6389ad5db11d28687 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Emily Zoffer Description An account of the resource Selecting what to photograph in Charlestown was very difficult. Photographing the Halloween decorations, my indicator, on various houses revealed little about the neighborhood as a whole, and I wanted my photo to relate to my indicator. It was after I returned to the Bunker Hill Monument from the end of my walk that I realized if a large part of my analysis intended to focus on the distance from the monument and decrease in decorations, this is what I should show. Therefore, in my photo, the leftmost part of what is shown, the home with the American flag, is the first house I counted, which had the most decorations of any I saw, although they did not make it into the photo because of framing limitations. The rightmost side is the monument itself. This intends to demonstrate the extreme physical proximity between the start of the decorations and the monument, and subsequently what I interpret as high real estate prices and high family income. The map I choose to include shows the economic characteristics of the area. There are two maps because the economic overlay on map one is so dark that it covers street names entirely, so map two may be used as a point of reference. I started at the Bunker Hill Monument and traveled slightly southeast, down to Harvard Street. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/20fc45e6e04dc364a64021279bbb9282.jpg 229110e20fe8101c7bb4c35d39648ca7 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/839d7d2c6a103a0f04b70ae7420d6d51.jpg e53d12f6e779a91557ae22d36b315967 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Jack Zhou Description An account of the resource The photograph and map together show the socioeconomic divide in Jeffries Point neighborhood located in East Boston. The map illustrates that houses closer to the Boston Inner Harbor are more expensive than those near Maverick T Station. Thus, residents living near the harbor are of a higher social class than those inhabiting apartments closer to Maverick Square. The photographs present a visual indicator of this socioeconomic discrepancy in the form of flower pot decorations outside of people’s homes. The left photograph was taken in the part of the neighborhood closer to Maverick Square at the interesection of Sumner Street and Cottage Street. In the picture, none of the stretch of houses have flower pots outside their homes. The sidewalks also appear somewhat dirty, and there is some litter on the ground. The right photograph was taken near the intersection of Sumner Street and Jeffries Street in the portion of the neighborhood closer to Boston Inner Harbor. In the picture, there are more flower pots outside the homes of residents, and the streets appear cleaner and there are more street trees. Thus, looking at decorations can elucidate the socioeconomic boundaries of a neighborhood. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/30844f2fa8a6872cf286f781e22c5565.jpg b56af52005ae976a2f4d6635303fe5b7 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/86fc589eca6564927aec0cb046b7a739.jpeg 26a5daaec42365d41b402c31ed749678 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Reylon Yount Description An account of the resource The map indicates handcrafted signs observed along Shawmut Avenue in the South End. The red markers indicate signs written in Chinese, the purple indicate signs written in both Chinese and English, and the blue indicate signs written in just English. One sign in the window of a laundromat announcing its closure. It read, “We are officially closed! Thank you for a great 15 yrs. Your loyalty will never be forgotten. Thank you. Jody.” This sign hints at the story of a local business that had been in operation for 15 years and an owner who had positive relationships with loyal customers. Despite this history, the business is closing, possibly due to the owner’s personal reasons and/or reasons related to gentrification. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/60a98d1f2aa536416800f07c25b7156a.png 571db5d9a7c718d5816ad9e20485d685 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/0ef224421acb40ba3fc0802b861214ea.jpg f211df65d73885c6b20808f156f86c76 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource The photo captures a well-kept MGH research lab in the Navy Yard campus juxtaposed against a completely worn-down warehouse. It shows both the amount of investment Charlestown has put into the area near MGH's Navy Yard campus recently, including the new apartment complex that isn't in the photo, but also the freshness of this investment project, as there's still this beat up warehouse that pedestrians find aesthetically unpleasing, also triggering a suspicion regarding the safety and financial demographic of the neighborhood. The map shows the financial demographic of Navy Yard/MGH and the more residential neighborhood on the opposite side of Route 1 closer to Bunker Hill monument. It illustrates the vast difference between the Navy Yard area and the residential area, portraying the consequence of heavy investing in the Navy Yard/MGH area compared to the Bunker Hill/Chestnut St. area, as the former is clearly more suited for visitors while the latter does not even host much of a presence of its local residents, and the latter also where Winthrop Park, an old park without much upkeep.

Title A name given to the resource Phoebe West Description An account of the resource This photo was taken at 341 High St. in Charlestown, Boston and the Map is from WorldMap. For the map, I chose to focus on the measure of Income in Boston. This shows something unique about Charlestown in that it shows that while there is a large amount of people who are in the highest categories of income, there are also a large population on the other end of the spectrum. This can be seen as a representation of the gentrification process that is going on. The picture that I took also represents the unique situation that Charlestown is in because the neighborhood is becoming more and more gentrified. This picture is of a door on a strikingly fancy and modern looking row house, with a note that says, "Due to packages being stolen: Please DO NOT LEAVE PACKAGES at the front door,”. This shows that while Charlestown is being gentrified, it is not fully there and still has aspects of its rough, working class past. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/cdec8141e60ebaab49136e0d14d228dd.jpg 82b4cb6f9e57f9c722ea9b613d4c9c73 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/3d234a1ef401246ce02b91255e92f10d.png be72f1b93a418e7b752fbd163f298611 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Antonia Washington Description An account of the resource Map: This map is one which I created after my visit to South Boston. The green plus signs are spots where I saw people wearing Red Sox baseball caps. The notes, which appear here as yellow squares, indicate people I saw wearing apparel from other Boston professional sports teams, namely three people in Patriots hats, a man in a Bruins shirt, and a man in a Celtics hoodie. The yellow line shows the route which I walked on my visit. Photo: This photo shows the side of the building of Al's Liquor Store which I describe in my essay. This business is clearly very proud to be an Irish establishment in a strong Irish neighborhood. What is interesting is directly across the street from Al's, there is an invasion of new, pristine, and identical houses which cut through this image of the rough and tumble, working class Irish Southie. This is an instance when the quintessential Southie and what it could be becoming could be seen side by side, which was very striking. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/b3495cff631f71f3c81319a6e6d3582e.jpg 5c46973d216e0d99a03d520cb4c4875a https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/a92245ba6c24b8e33c5c6758e87fc0f0.jpg f9b78b4bed03393be264acc0f2faf03e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Mien Wang Description An account of the resource This photo of East Boston is taken in the middle of the Meridian Street. The right hand side is the west side of Meridian Street which is closer to the low income area while the left hand side is the east side of Meridian Street where all the affluent family resides. As you can see, at the right hand side, there is not much exciting stores while there are myriads of stores at the left hand side. This photograph precisely conveys the geographical segregation of income level in East Boston. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/e42d25ebcd4fe004fb5d2c845e1ad21d.JPG cb6d7088586b358324d29e5e9ae6fb74 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/508865adef2683986a79bd3392dd1b0b.png b9755c5693970100072a105b4d4517ff https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/cb5dc14e07279e6281aaca456fa5e16e.png c666e412f68a8d03925b0952ee54ace4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Vasquez Description An account of the resource This mosaic hangs outside the entrance to an elementary school in the center of the South End. To me, it represents a child’s idyllic vision of what the South End is and can be. The prominent features of the piece to me are the references to different ethnic groups in different sections, as well as the nature motifs of tress and the sun and the rainbow in the middle. The mentions of different ethnic groups, as well as the various faces, hands, and bodies, suggest the not only the multicultural nature of the South End, but the possibility of cooperation and cohabitation in the neighborhood, as many of the bodies stand alongside those of different colors. The nature motifs also present an idyllic view of the neighborhood—they suggest life and growth, which many would say is the goal of many of the renewal and renovation efforts in the area as of late. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/313fc1114b52f618e62e30ca072fb09c.jpg dcc1216e6d1e924f4f2cc26ea93a36b2 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/b81544650c7038a0ae1ef0b5922c25ea.png b56af2060fbb35ffaf44af564a576284 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Lauren Varela Description An account of the resource My photo is of The Cathedral of the Holy Cross. I choose this picture because I have been coming to this church for years and I never knew it was in the South End of Boston. I always thought the church and the mass were so beautiful so I imagined we were in a great part of Boston where most of the community members must be wealthy. However, after my walk and visit to the South End I realized that this is not the case, but it made me love the South End even more. For my map on Social Explorer, I choose to look at the houses that were listed above 1 million dollars. I choose this because since my indicator was nice cars (BMWs, Mercedes, etc.), I thought that these cars would have to most likely correlate to nice homes, and I think my map that I choose shows this correlation. As noted in my paper, all of the nice cars were going to and coming from the side street and as you can see from the map, all of the homes above 1 million dollars seemed to be clustered around these side streets between the main drags.
