How Do You Describe Jamaica Plain to Someone Who Doesn't Know the Neighborhood?

When people ask you about Jamaica Plain, what do you say?

For me, the diversity is certainly one of the first things I mention. Then probably how much green space we have. And a corollary — what a great neighborhood it is for dogs.

For people who are confused about how we're actually part of Boston, I say we are to Boston as Brooklyn is to New York City.

I'm interested to know how other JP residents describe our neighborhood to people who don't live here.

How do you describe JP to folks who've never been here?
