Districts[edit]

Does it benefit the traveler to know about the 10 neighborhoods of Beverly and have a map of them, or is this trivia? If it does benefit the traveler, how? I particularly solicit the comments of User:TheBeverlian, who has added all the district information. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:49, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that knowledge of these districts is indeed beneficial, as each neighborhood possesses its own unique character and amenities. It is to the traveler's advantage to know where they are located in the city as they either visit or pass through. One would find that Gloucester Crossing is quite different from the Farms, Prides Crossing different from North Beverly, Centerville different from Downtown, etc. and to know what to expect in advance of these locales within the city, and where to expect them, I can only see as a boon to travel plans. Furthermore, several of these neighborhoods possess their own train stations, which travelers may disembark at, and I have seen the neighborhood names show up on geolocation programs, and Google Maps-based software, which may possibly be utilized by travelers. Of good mention and depiction on this page of the Beverly neighborhoods, I can only see as a benefit for travelers from afar and near alike.

Are you planning on covering sights in all 10 neighborhoods in "See"? Of course one neighborhood is normally different from another, but we normally do not even mention districts of cities that aren't chock full of major tourist attractions in numerous neighborhoods. That's the difference between the Wikivoyage:Big city article template and the Wikivoyage:Huge city article template. You may find Wikivoyage:Geographical hierarchy#Districts in cities instructive, because it provides several guidelines on when not to, in Wikivoyage terms, districtify a city.
