All the neighborhoods of Dorchester

My Dorchester posts a map showing the geographic boundaries of all the civic associations in Boston's largest neighborhood.
It might be my sleep deprivation talking, but if you look at the map, it sort of looks like a giant seal eating a kid with a backwards baseball cap on his head.

Interesting how there are no
Interesting how there are no associations serving anywhere along Blue Hill ave.
Needing community organizations?
Yes, it is interesting as that area is one of the hot spot areas for crime and could benefit from having a neighborhood association if they don't have one. Note: there ARE associations in other hot spot areas, the Bowdoin-Geneva group being one.
Lower Mills
I do like the way, when you click onto the Lower Mills section, it says meetings are at "St. Greg's", rather than "St. Gregory's". Folks from the area - or formerly so, like me - do call it that. Nice touch.

Dammit, son of a bitch
It just ate my comment. After I clicked like 238472389893 times and thought I'd posted it too many times. But nooooo it didn't post at all. Hmm.
Oh hey
It posted that one. WTF.
Anyway, the comment it ate said that the linky text is hard to see, since the dark (yet stylish) blue is so close to the black. Maybe a light slateish blue?
And why did it give me a captcha thing when I was logged in?
This is a joke.
I guess when they say "My Dorchester," they really think it belongs to them, they are the Neighborhood Association Security Council.
Neighborhood associations in Dorchester do not have fixed boundaries.
So does this mean that I can't attend the civic association meeting that I have for years, if I'm out of bounds?
Can St. Mark's go to war against Melville Park? All of Centre Street is ours!
I suppose they mean well, but [sigh].
