  Roxbury Dorchester Southi (guest)

  Newmarket Square is in the Roxbury Telephone Exchange, has mail delivery from Dorchester's Uphams Corner Post Office, and has a large employee base from South Boston. Anyone familiar with Boston knows that Roxbury and South Boston are arch-rivals (poor and predominantly black in the former, poor to middle class and predominantly white, most of whom are of Irish ancestry, in the latter) while the section of Dorchester closest to Newmarket Square has an affinity with Roxbury. This "no-man's land," primarily industrial, is arguably simultaneously a part of all three neighborhoods, although an orphaned area.
