01/20/2006 | Heavily Irish neighborhood, Probably percentage-wise the heaviest, more so than the better known South Boston, which actually has a large contingent of Polish, Lithuanian, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, and other groups there. The streets are particularly crazy here, and there's some crime as well. Undergoing gentrification lately, but you can see The Bunker Hill Monument and some other history stuff.

09/23/2005 | There are 2 sides to this neighborhood. There is a seedy and industrial side (Sullivan Square) and a charming / historic side (Navy Yard & Bunker Hill). At the Navy Yard you'll find the USS Constitution and you can go up to Bunker Hill and visit the site where the historic Revolutionary war battle was fought with the monument marking it's place. Climb to the top of the monument and there is a great view of the city and the Zakum Bridge. This neighborhood is good if you want to see history and in parts has some charming residential living, but don't stray on the other side of Bunker Hill.
