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 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/7e2a00371665e54efe2c5a3d08b5f160.pdf b3585a265a33ca0acb86bb89c8003f18 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/4fea399a64e4229a035d411102565ac2.jpg ee03e7d6f7a0da3e37afc4813a0902e2 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 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/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 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/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/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/09c171bf3704f5d1a26cc94b56be7b05.jpg db3ef9254e88dee248094fdbc1e5aee0 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/a480bd1b6356da26f82f218a97753d62.jpg 7ed43eee81a9e183c05efd9ea8fa526a https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/3ab3b0a934a41a28549c481e48bef2a8.jpg 7d8d9633b32225c3c655187d74fe2a2b 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 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.

Title A name given to the resource Albert Li Description An account of the resource The map shows that although there are segmented racial neighborhoods within South End, the association of social disorder and crime is not perfectly correlated with the presence of minorities. Overlaying the crime map with the race by census block map for percent white, we can see that at least one block that is over 60% white experienced the second highest level of crime, while one block that was less than 15% white experienced the lowest level of crime. This map, in comparison with the maps showing race, suggest that crime in Boston is probably dependent upon not just racial factors. The picture, in turn, was taken at a red-brick townhouse complex in a low-crime area near the intersection of W. Dedham Street and Washington Street, highlighting how this fixture of neighborhood safety has become an ornament, for appearance more than function. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/225871e5361b4ba8b405a4c03775bccb.jpg bdd70a6784ab5f2d96e44c6ea42af8b8 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/8cb1e7409ab1eaecf9a04a046f3b6e55.jpg 37d84f1499b09dc9ae09e028f2232b03 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 Christine Lin Description An account of the resource PHOTO COMMENTS: The image shows the intersection of Lexington Street and Bunker Hill Street. Left of the Bunker Hill Street (of this view) are condominiums of wood siding exterior walls and high rental prices. To the right are the Bunker Hill Housing Projects, made of brick. The Bunker Hill Street seems to be a dividing line for two different worlds. White residents predominantly live in the condominiums, and Hispanic, Black, and Asian residents predominantly reside in the housing projects. There is a great dichotomy of rental prices of the buildings, household income, demographics, physical disorder, and private neglect between these areas. This picture captures two contrasting neighborhoods that share a street (Bunker Hill Street) and serve differing perceptions for outsiders and residents. MAP COMMENTS: My map is of Charlestown, with a focus on the Lexington Street, Monument Street, Bunker Hill Street, O’Reilly Way neighborhoods. The red dots represent location of litter in the areas. Lexington Street and Monument Street (leading up to Bunker Hill Street) had little to no litter at the beginning of the streets. However, closer to Bunker Hill Street, greater amounts of litter were visible. Litter lined the sidewalks and streets in the Bunker Hill Housing Projects of O’Reilly Way. This confirms the greater physical disorder in the project housing areas compared to the more upscale neighborhoods around them. A greater amount of litter shows that each of housing project residents may feel little to no responsibility to look after a space that requires a collective effort from the community.
