I hope you've enjoyed the last couple weeks here in Dorchester. There was a lot we saw, so if you missed anything, you can see all the stores on this map.
Coming Up Next
Just to the west of Dorchester and to the north of Roslindale is the neighborhood of Jamaica Plain. Once the center of Cuban and Central American population in the city, over the last 20 years or so the neighborhood has gentrified -- exemplified in no way better than the stalwart Hi-Lo Foods, which became the source for all Latin foods in Boston. In 2011, the store closed and was replaced by a Whole Foods. We'll tour that store and visit plenty more -- representing both the gentrification and the remaining neighborhoods with Latin communities. Tomorrow, we're going to check out two former grocers at Forest Hills in the southern part of Jamaica Plain!
Just as long as we don't get stuck on the T and never return ;)
ReplyDeleteThere have been so many incidents that could vaguely be described in that way that I don't even know which one you might be referring to!
DeleteUnlike my perfect home-state transit agency, New Jersey Transit, which has never had any problem ever...
That was, of course, a reference to the song about Charlie on the MTA, not a specific incident on that system nor the more perfect NJ Transit (easier not to have issues when they just stop running the trains after all ;)).
