- Watch Boston pages for vandalism

- Expand Pages for Boston Neighborhoods
- Expand and Create pages for Boston Personalities
Categories
Boston Neigborhoods
Looking for action items on the Neighboorhoods and discussion as to if they should be separated into major neighboorhoods and sub-neigboorhoods. For instance Kenmore Square, Fens and Fenway-Kenmore could all be considered part of the Fenway of which there is no section. Also should clean up Boston Neighborhoods adding a quick blurb about each section.
