Bird's Eye View of Seaport Boulevard
Within the next decade, this street will be the visual center of the new Seaport Square, with shops, residential and commercial development, movie theaters, restaurants, and squares framing the city’s newest urban boulevard. Several of Boston’s 34 Harbor Islands are visible beyond the waterfront. Our Lady of Good Voyage chapel, seen in the foreground, will soon be relocated within a new structure.

Remnant Shoreline at the Reserve Channel
This is perhaps the only relatively “unimproved” coastal edge in all of South Boston; it gives a glimpse of Southie’s shoreline condition prior to industrialization or park making.
