[edit] Map request
 |
It is requested that a map or maps be included in this article to improve its quality. Wikipedians in Massachusetts may be able to help! |
A map is needed to show the present boundaries of the neighborhood and major thoroughfares. This will also help confirm that the neighborhood includes areas southeast of Washington Street, the former South Bay. -- Beland 01:45, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Questions
 |
Please help improve this article or section by expanding it. Further information might be found on the talk page or at requests for expansion. (January 2007) |
- The article says the South End was a jazz mecca "until the 1950s" but when did this era begin?
- Why did gay men end up in the South End in the 1940s? Dishonorable discharges from the military during WWII from the Port of Boston? Why did they accumulate in this neighborhood, the single-sex residence buildings?

[edit] Removed reference template
I've added the books I refered to in writing my edits. Nearly all of what's here is based in these books. This includes architecture, social development, architecture, and most of the demographics. Current events, like the existance of the land trust, the histroical society, or emergng new retail is harder to source, but self evident.CApitol3 14:24, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
