Thank you for the site photos. This helps with the land use exercise. I have been struggling and this gets me moving again.

Glad it helps. Also, don't forget to mine the supplemental info. from google earth or general touristy sites. These sources should give you a pretty good idea of what's in the general vacinity. Remember you're not inerested in particulars (Louies drum store on Boylston...), but what types of functions create the character of the site--music & student services stores on Boylston, etc.. What's on Mass Ave,Newbuy, etc. This information is most useful in the areas directly surrounding the site--no more than a couple of blocks.
On anther level--let's say the general Boston downtown/Back Bay/Fenway area--you should get the general zoning info. from the City of Boston to discover zoning use patterns (residential, commercial, industrial...) Good luck with the detective work.
