Showing the level of Physical Disorder along the route I walked (West Broadway street to Dorchester street). I feel that for the most part this map mirrors my personal findings on my walk, namely that the physical appearance of Broadway St deteriorated as I headed towards Dorchester Street. I was slightly perplexed however to see that according to the map I created that the area just before Dorchester Street had supposedly lower levels of physical disorder than that of the intersections with D street and E street in contrary to my findings.

I took this photo just at the intersection of West Broadway Street and E street, I feel this photo clearly shows signs of physical decay, such as the abandoned gated store, plants growing up a building on the right, and the unpainted chipped walls of a takeout store. I feel this photo shows one side of the South Boston that of an area physically on the decline and few residential caretakers concerned about maintaining its upkeep.
