Between Blue Hill Avenue and Dudley Street, maybe 10 blocks from the Dudley Station.
It got a lot worse after I was there, I heard. I think things have improved somewhat in recent years.
I has improved a lot. Back in the early Seventies, that was a very rough place, I know that for a fact!
I still wouldn’t venture into Roxbury for anything at all, but there are parts of Dorchester that are reasonably safe.
I took the Red Line one time years ago and not paying attention, ended up in Mattapan.
That was a very bad place to find myself in. And I am not kidding, I feared for my safety.
I couldn’t believe how stupid I had been, not paying attention. Mattapan is somewhere you didn’t want to be in those days. I don’t know if it has changed, but I doubt it.
