North End project synopsis

The North End is a tight knit community that has several major nodes and places of importance historically, and as far as contemporary tourism is concerned. However when tourists travel to the North End whether walking freely or walking the Freedom Trail, they often get lost and cannot locate their destinations. A long time resident of North Square where Paul Revere’s house is located said he continuously has to point out PR’s house even though the people are standing in front of it. The goal of this specific project is to provide tourists with a visually aided set of directions to help guide them through the area. Directions, as well as pictures of what to look for will be included in the website. Placement of the code is somewhat sketchy at the moment because as the issue stands now, it seems that it will have to be done discreetly and “under the radar.” All of the nodes in the North End are close enough to include in one project with additional “support” locations as well. No other project has really included the landmarks in the North End so this one website will help to connect them all.
