I had a great neighborly experience...

After shoveling out my car from about five inches of snow, I left work in Roslindale around 2:30 on Tuesday. It took about a half an hour to get home to Central JP...it was very slippery. My employer had just come from my neighborhood an hour before and said there were alot of parking spaces available on the street then, but by the time I got there I didn't see any but one.

Info from 2000 Census

A little info about JP that I thought some of you might find interesting from the 2000 census that I found on line.  Jamaica Plain is 3.07 sq miles. The gross population density/sq mile was 12,402.  The foreign born population was 22.9 % .  The unemployment rate was 5.5%.  There were 16,536 housing units.  95.2% of the housing units were occupied.  The median gross rent was $808. The pop of JP was 38, 074.  14.7% worked in service jobs and 55.9% worked in management or professions.
