Why can't creative types and artists just move somewhere else? The South End should be filled with vapid, blonde, oversize-sunglass and yoga pant wearing people like me.
I don't even get it! If those people had put up a sign that said something nice about Lululemon, then sure, I'd be ok with it. But "Stay"?

"The South End," like "Jamaica Plain" and "The Innovation District," will soon be one the three largest neighborhoods in Boston, if real estate agents have anything to say about it. Meanwhile, Roxbury, Southie, and Dot are magically evaporating from listings.
I used to think the South End as ended more or less at Waltham Street on the eastern boundary (more specifically, the Waltham Tavern, alas). At that point, it became a bit of an every-mans-land between Chinatown, Roxbury, Bay Village, and the Herald property which I thought of as Roger Ailes own private Fantasy Island.
But I think the South End now ends wherever flippers decide it ends.
the South End is actually a neighborhood that exists entirely within Roxbury. Roxbury is considered a borough, with neighborhoods within. Just like Dorchester (Savin Hill, Lower Mills, etc)
The South End isn't and has never been a neighborhood in Roxbury. The border between the municipalities of Boston and Roxbury, before the former annexed the latter in the 19th Century, was roughly Mass Ave. The parts of the South End east of that, which is the overwhelming majority of what people call the South End, were never in Roxbury.
It could say "Not Go" and still mean the same thing, right?
Also, is there even a stop sign there??? I rode though the other day and there wasn't, and I don't see one on google street view on either Dwight or Taylor.

Rude-ah!

Roxbury?
Just curious about the location indicated at the Citizens Connect link:
"address: Intersection Of Dwight St & Taylor St, Roxbury"
I used to live on Dwight Street, and we always considered it the South End. And the rent was certainly South End-level! :-)
Just wondering how the "Roxbury" got there. Are the address and coordinates added automatically?
Rox
02118 zip code is Roxbury. My car insurer wishes it was South End, too.
Yupppp
I'm 02118 too. City's systems says "Roxbury" but rates for a South End parking permit.
02118 is mostly South End
02118 is mostly the South End. Newmarket and South Boston, too. Almost none of Roxbury is in 02118.

The intersection of Dwight & Taylor was formerly underwater in the Back Bay.

It's all Roxbury

Or was it Madonna? (B-side Madonna)

Or Demo Version
(to this day I can't understand why she had two songs by the same name! Except this is from her 1981 Demo Album to Sire Records that got her hired)
At least it doesn't say "Not Art".
Still stupid though.

This may not be a sign that even belongs there.
