Title A name given to the resource Robert Capodilupo Description An account of the resource This photograph captures the essence of Long Wharf very authentically. Although the waterfront is concentrated with tourists taking photographs or people observing the waves, the space as a whole is not congested. People are using this space not solely to consume, but also to wait their dog, get to work, or just relax. Unlike at Faneuil Hall, there is a lot of room for comfortable solitude in this park. Long Wharf is also dotted with trees and greenery, providing an alternative to urban life. The bench in the foreground, much like many benches in this park, is not in the shade, and therefore seldom occupied. The picturesque sky and ocean front seen here is indicative of the quiet aesthetic of Long Wharf. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/d85df02ff3899a9a7bb5734ffbec3506.jpg 6b727056e1adfb7951287e3aff3ae945 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/87508044b5df7b1925bf16fc182b5610.pdf 37827f01f8b74b3960a3b64beb4da57c 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 maps shown are from the Social Explorer Map of South Boston, and respectively compare the percentage of African Americans living in South Boston in 1980 and 2013, according to the census data. In the route, I began in Andrew Square, then followed Dorchester Ave to Damrell St to cross onto Old Colony Ave. Finally, I followed D Street in it entirety all the way to the waterfront, crossing Summer Street and finishing on Channel Street Wharf. This route is notated in both maps by a green arrow. These maps highlight a sharp change in the racial makeup of South Boston over these decades. In 1980, there was virtually no presence of African Americans in South Boston, with many census tracts actually reporting at 0%. This is not the case, however, in 2013, where the census tract representing the D Street Projects reports a demographic of 35% African American. This is a significant change in the racial makeup of this neighborhood. It is also important to note the presence of the Condon Community Center in the 2013 map and its absence in the 1980 map. As noted by an interview with a South Boston local, as many of the lifelong Irish residents of the city moved out in this time due to issues with busing, heroin, and gentrification, the strong, traditional sense of the Southie community moved away with it. It is therefor significant that this community center was constructed only after this migration, perhaps to supplement a lost sense of efficacy in the neighborhood.! ! The photograph shown is particularly indicative of the current state of South Boston. In the foreground, rentals for the Flats on D, an upcoming luxury apartment complex near the Seaport district of South Boston, is being advertised. It is important to notice that the sign reads “future resident parking.” Although this development project has not completely taken into fruition, the foundation of gentrification in the neighborhood has certainly been laid. The address of this project is 411 D Street, notably before the cross of Summer Street into the already heavily Seaport District. This project is in indicator that the gentrification of South Boston is slowly creeping away from the waterfront back into the old neighborhood. In the background of this photo is the telling juxtaposition of a blue collar construction worker with a white collar professional wearing business attire. This is the crossroads that is facing South Boston—a new age of affluence encroaching upon the blue collar tradition of the neighborhood. Both the maps and this photo exemplify a change in the demographics of South Boston over the past thirty years.!

Title A name given to the resource Rosa Bonilla Description An account of the resource This photo was taken on the corner of Bunker Hill St and Pearl St in Charlestown on a Saturday morning. It depicts two houses side by side with their doors visibly open and with no sign of the residents. I was very surprised to see this as I was walking by, but was even more surprised to find six more doors just like them as I continued to walk around the neighborhood. I found this very interesting because it implies that homeowners feel safe on their streets and trust their neighbors. The map I am using shows the economic characteristics of the neighborhood. I think this is very interesting to look at in conjunction with the photo because the map shows the differences in income between residents in the neighborhood and there are significant differences across the neighborhood that I was able to witness as I walked. However, I found that no matter how affluent the collection of houses seemed, open doors appeared with the same frequency. This led me to believe that the safety of a neighborhood is not determined by how rich or poor the homeowners are, but rather by some other factor or combination of factors. Jane Jacobs suggests that this factor might be usage of the sidewalks on those streets, a theory that is supported by the thin yet fairly constant stream of people walking past me on the sidewalk. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/efece8a5ff3e3d89e5d1a094d5ab1858.jpg b9166da4236969dd074f619d1d8141b9 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 Ryan Donato Description An account of the resource While walking by, I saw one of the locals with all of his mirrors smashed in. I asked him what had happened he said he was not sure. This image somewhat captures the overall feeling of the distress people from that area face on a daily basis. Around his home, there are buildings and houses which have graffiti and broken windows and his nice car sat nice and pretty right in the middle of it. It’s not hard to see that potentially someone vandalized it. This image signifies and captures many of the ideas that I tried to support in my essay. Distress can be found anywhere, some places more obvious than others. The map shows how the MBTA Blue Line goes directly across the middle of East Boston. Usually around any type of train station its going to be hectic. East Boston has a train line directly cut through it entirely showing how all of East Boston is impacted by the MBTA. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld24/original/0ad83df0a1ff2995383780585ae671e0.png e64b1afb878ede73fae95a5d6384fe27 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
