  was once most violent neighborhood in roxbury. Home of the once infamous Mission Hill housing projects.

  Not nearly as violent now (2006) as it historically was (late 1980s/early 1990s).

  Once a vibrant and diverse neighborhood of African-American, Caribbean, Cape Verdean, Dominican and Puerto Ricans families. Now it is nearly wholly gentrified. Mass Art students, Wentworth Institute of Technology studens, Harvard public health students, Northeastern University students and students from another dozen schools have turned much of the neighborhood in to a petty-crime ridden frat-house.
