ne of the city’s most diverse areas, “JP” contains thriving Latino, African- OAmerican, Irish and gay communities that mingle within its ample green space— including Arnold Arboretum and the Jamaica Pond area—and among main drag Centre Street’s restaurants, bars and shops. Once a country resort for Boston Brahmins, it teems with 19th-century mansions while its cur- rent-day affordability attracts a younger gen- eration of hipsters, artists and musicians.
