  • It doesn't even look like JP anymore. It looks like little Cambridge now. I used to live there when I was a kid and and a few times as an adult and I remember it being more of an inner city with tons of culture. Now it's Cambridge with "Cultural Stores" in it. I'm glad the crime is down, but please stop trying to make it like Cambridge. Let JP be JP.

  • Great job -- inclusive and real.  Love seeing Rhea Becker in her historian role!

  • @DoctorRainhead JP like Charlestown is only dangerous if you're actually "from" here, and get caught up in the city mix. A side from the occational mugging, most "outsider" that live in JP don't have to deal with Boston poverty the probelms that come with it. JP is also home to Bromley-Heath, Bostons lagest housing project.They don't tell you that in the video.

  • I lived in JP in the early 70's. I liked living there but it looks much more interesting now. I lived on a tiny street called Dresden St between Spring Park Ave and Boyleston St. It was close to Lamartine St. At that time the green line ran all the way down Centre St. I am told it no longer does. I enjoyed living there in one of the well known Boston triple deckers.

  • They make JP sound like such a bad place, but it looks pretty good here.

  • It is not dangerous, only to bigots and republican scum.

  • I so much miss JP; I moved from there in 2000 to Virginia. I miss JP Licks(I used to work with the mother of one of the owners.) My favorite: Cucumber ice cream. I lived on Center Street next to the fire station. Dunkin Donuts was across the street with the newspaper guy hawking the papers at five in the morning. Jamaica Pond was wonderful. I always remember Halloween with the lantern festival and all the kids parading around. I would love to be there again with all the diverse people.

  • i love jamaica plain i love the culture. sont be scared everywhere you go there will be danger i dont think JP is that type of place i went to Greater Egleston Comm High School for 4 years. it's great

  • Bravo on the making of this short film !!! Very well done indeed

  • who ever told you that is someone who does not live in JP. I bought 3 homes here over the past 17 years. Its a wonderful place to live and it's very safe. a car is great to have but we have a great Bus service and 2 Train lines into town
