"Roxbury"
When asking a person about Roxbury they will often immediately think of Dudley station. Dudley is a bus station, from here you can get to Downtown, Mattapan,South Boston, Ashmont, Codman Square, basically anywhere! In Dudley there are a few food choices such as Dunkin Donuts, Royal Chicken, Yum-Yums, Tasty Burger. Going up the main street in Roxbury, Warren Street, you will first pass the BP library, then the Roxbury Boys and girls club. Going up even further you will reach the Washington park mall and across the street from that would be the Roxbury YMCA. Going up some more would be Grove Hall and that's where Roxbury and Dorchester meet.
Pros
- Very Easy to get to almost anywhere from Dudley. Just about every bus going down a main street goes to Dudley.
- Always some place you can eat quick, there are a lot of good places to eat
- There are plenty of programs for teens children and even adults located in Dudley
Cons
- Roxbury often is one of the “dangerous” parts of Boston, fights, shootings, robbings etc.
- Traffic can get terrible in Dudley between the hours of 3:00 and 5:00, this is when schools are letting out and buses are full and causing all types of traffic
- Although Roxbury has a variety of things to do and go to after awhile it and become repetitive and become boring
