The photo captures a well-kept MGH research lab in the Navy Yard campus juxtaposed against a completely worn-down warehouse. It shows both the amount of investment Charlestown has put into the area near MGH's Navy Yard campus recently, including the new apartment complex that isn't in the photo, but also the freshness of this investment project, as there's still this beat up warehouse that pedestrians find aesthetically unpleasing, also triggering a suspicion regarding the safety and financial demographic of the neighborhood.

The map shows the financial demographic of Navy Yard/MGH and the more residential neighborhood on the opposite side of Route 1 closer to Bunker Hill monument. It illustrates the vast difference between the Navy Yard area and the residential area, portraying the consequence of heavy investing in the Navy Yard/MGH area compared to the Bunker Hill/Chestnut St. area, as the former is clearly more suited for visitors while the latter does not even host much of a presence of its local residents, and the latter also where Winthrop Park, an old park without much upkeep.
