Title A name given to the resource Daniel Leichus Description An account of the resource charlestown-white.png is a map that shows the census blocks of Charlestown by their percentage white. It was made using the Boston Research Map and its URL can be found here http://worldmap.harvard.edu/maps/charlestown-white IMAG1530.jpg was taken on the intersection of Green and Bunker Hill Streets and shows the historic district of Charlestown on one side and the projects on the other. One of the stores advertises that it accepts EBT and WIC (welfare and food stamps), and the cars lining the street are all shiny. IMAG1534.jpg is a photograph of the map I used to navigate through Charlestown. I have traced my loop on this map. I also mark where the photo was taken. Finally, the indicators (for the first half, it's # of trash items per yard; for the second half, it's % MA license plates) are marked next to the streets in boxes and circles. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/2c23c103b763ebb1421bd77f6f5b99fe.jpg 6d715456bab5193154ea7c2d0374c124 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/673d54e7ccdce5903c1e690e8b8d0cd1.jpg 521de8a677df6cc651128efe8235c469 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 Tianxing Lan Description An account of the resource The picture shows the decoration of a house on Sullivan Street in Charlestown. Decorations of buildings are the indicator of my choice, and in this picture, not only is the building brightly painted, but also there are trees in front of the house and vines decorating the door. The abundance and variety of decorations show the prosperity of the area. The map is the housing characteristics of Charlestown. The west and central part is in much darker orange, indicating the price of housing is very high. The price in the northeast part, however, is much lower. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/fa3a75bd945dfaf046125e355b463a75.jpg 5378f690198b1f0aaf103961299d2940 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/60c175e1e81b8d8434045f3d3980f86f.jpg c4e1f3387bfd93e410e1ee3cd0ff218c 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 Ziggy Kotchetkov Description An account of the resource A Massport police car shuts down a dog park in East Boston. The park itself was planned by members of the community and funded by Massport, and sits underneath a massive raised highway that feeds into the Massport controlled airport. Two of the five dog owners I spoke with at the park had formerly worked for Massport, and we talked at great length about the level to which Massport feels invested and responsible for the East Boston community. The thrum of cars and planes is constant in East Boston, and only serves to reinforce the feeling that here transportation is king. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/67489b9b9ed48108444df533254a1e59.pdf ee785903c9635a0516e7aee5f21abcf7 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/50848e2a5311ebee2c6b30377201579a.jpg fa649868c2f7b6364e542d6af51f714d 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 Manizha Kholmatov Description An account of the resource East Boston is a diverse community with lots of Hispanic, Chinese, and Italian influence. Here I saw something I had never seen before: a translation of a Chinese menu into Spanish. I thought this was a very interesting detail brought on by the demographics of this neighborhood, and an excellent example of how neighborhood indicators can tell you something about the people that live there. Further, there is an entire documentary on the dish called General Gao's Chicken that means many things to many different people. In short, I thought this photograph captured the international nature of Chinese food and East Boston! https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/8dd5355324dfe5de802f138180c41669.png e0f045b4d28dab36fbc1a2abf247a575 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/435699c2d667d7b8b4b558a29b836a75.JPG be16aead8f9c86be9adcc3274b647ace 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 Ben Kelly Description An account of the resource My map shows us the varying economic statuses of the part of Charlestown I explored, and, as I explained, the amount of decorations in the different parts of Charlestown reflects the divides in economic status we see on my map screenshot.

Title A name given to the resource Todd Jones Description An account of the resource The photo and map I chose go hand in hand regarding Southie. The photo was taken at 55 West Broadway, and is the backside of the converted Catholic church I mentioned in my essay. When I first saw it, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, but I later looked it up when I got back to campus and found that it was true. The picture, in my opinion, represents an important aspect of the city, which I mentioned in my essay repeatedly — its high proportion of rented living. We have a standard example of that, but achieved through the creative means of converting it from a church. I wonder for the future of Southie, when housing expansion seems to be so needed that these are the steps taken to make more housing available. It also makes me wonder whether urban renewal might be looming in the neighborhood's future. The map shows the proportion of residents in Southie living in rented space — and with the overall neighborhood metric between 50 and 60%, it actually wasn't as drastic as I had pictured at first, yet still points to potential change in a way that a significantly lower number would not. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/9728db63609fc0dff0bf065c04e93c21.jpg 41939256b5a4f5f541b44bcae7616a16 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/bd9dc917263a0bf922f1262d71059dc9.jpg 5d9dbf89ed538641dda3ed01f7b1ce27 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 Anam Javed Description An account of the resource While visiting various restaurants and cafes along Meridian Street, I was surprised by how little English some of the owners spoke. Customers and employees would often speak in Spanish immediately upon entering. Hence, I chose a map that shows the percentage of Hispanic/ Latino populations in the region. Clearly, there is a significant population of Hispanics and Latinos, which explains the atmosphere of the restaurants and cafes. However, right outside one such shop on Maverick Street was a signpost saying James V. McLaughlin Square. If you look closely, you will notice a small USA flag fluttering in the wind right below the sign. This is notable as it makes the observer wonder whether this flag was put up by the authorities or by local Hispanic/Latino immigrants to illustrate their respect and loyalty towards the United States of America. News articles have recently covered the negative attitude of some Americans toward immigrants who do not speak English so it was a pleasant surprise to walk out of restaurants in which everyone was speaking Spanish and see the flag, as it was a possible indicator of a more accepting and welcoming culture of the neighborhood in which immigrants merge the American flag and its values with their own lives. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/fe56bebebb5fd02dde93dd6fd97f1758.jpg 7279e1c43abad119afd2886c7fd2ebdb https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/e42eaa76150871d0b1051e62267785fa.PNG 3c5870b13d34613f1b01e11fb00c5025 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 map above shows the distribution of renters in the South End, and the picture on the next page is a warning sign in an alley along the border of Villa Victoria and Tremont Street. The map most notably shows two neighborhood blocks – one northwest of Villa Victoria on Tremont that contains the most homeowners, an indicator of rootedness to the area, and the other in the northeast corner that has the most renters, an indicator of transience. Villa Victoria is in between both geographically and in percent of renters. This speaks to the economic and residential segregation of the South End by neighborhood. With an understanding of the ethnic make-up of the neighborhood, this map depicts three communities – white, Asian, and Latino. The picture of the warning sign is emblematic of the “this is mine, that’s yours” attitude thatplagues the area. At the border of the homeowner’s block and Villa Victoria, it stands as a warning not to overstep the bounds clearly defined and embodied by Tremont Street. The array of heavy-duty locks furthers the same implication. The fact that it has a Spanish translation indicates unmistakably to whom the message is directed. Contrasted with other signs throughout the South End in Chinese and English, the inclusion of translation here speaks to the nature of dialogue between social and ethnic groups in the South End.

Title A name given to the resource Symone Isaac-Wilkins Description An account of the resource On the corner of Green Street and Bunker Hill Street in Charlestown there exists a convenience store that predominately sells Goya products and junk food. The convenience store is directly across from a public housing complex. The image shown below is of that corner store. Hanging above the entrance is a sign advertising that the store sells lottery tickets and money orders, has an ATM and accepts WIC, a supplemental nutritional program for low-income women and children. On the left side of the store is a mother pushing her young child in a stroller. This picture represents the conflicting realities that exist within Charlestown. On one hand, there are the rapidly gentrifying areas populated by young white professional. On the other hand, there exists a portion of Charlestown that is mainly populated by Black and Latino individuals of a lower socio-economic status. I found the housing segregation that exists within Charlestown to be striking. The map displayed below is of 2010 Census data showing the percent of the Charlestown population that is white. From this map it is clear that in many areas of Charlestown, the percent of white individuals is over 83%. However, in the area of Charlestown where I took the image the percent of white individuals is less than 15%. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/57a9101afb733e8999fe8a38108cc7e0.jpg 6c11d2b8eeba3f9884491c185527af2d https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/ad95b3df466026f538e15912ad30c284.PNG ec078df08237649b12bd5306badbe788 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 Duligur Ibeling Description An account of the resource I took this photo at the corner of Gove St. and Chelsea St. Some mild “broken windows” indicators are visible: less well-maintained or vacant buildings and streets, dusty sidewalks and small pieces of litter. But the neighborhood works for its residents: they have salons with local flavor, children and pedestrians can walk freely about, and cars are parked freely. (The school bus in the background especially suggests the presence of children, and we can see a child and adult near the entrance of the salon.) The map shows the level of “physical disorder,” which encompasses many classic “broken windows” indicators (see Boston Research Map for details). It’s relatively elevated for East Boston, yet the neighborhood appears to function quite well for its residents.
