The Arborway Rotary in Jamaica Plain which has spaghetti-like tendril streets and other intersections connected and parallel to it. Just a ridiculous bit of civil engineering. 

It’s an upscale neighborhood with lots of trees and the Arnold Arboretum next to it

So while I was driving Uber today, I had to fight my way thru this nightmare rotary/intersection in crazy busy traffic

But 3-4 geese just moseyed out from the middle of the rotary into the road and stopped traffic for me. They can poop anywhere they was, afaic

In the late 1650s, the name "Jamaica" first appears on maps for the area of Roxbury between Stony Brook and the Great Pond. There are a number of theories regarding the origin of the name "Jamaica Plain". A well-known theory traces the origin to "Jamaica rum", a reference to Jamaican cane sugar's role in the Triangle Trade of sugar, rum, and slaves, There were taverns on the Road to Dedham in the vicinity of Jamaica Plain. Another explanation is that "Jamaica', though a different letter pronunciation, is an anglicization of the name of Kuchamakin, brother of Chickatawbut, the deceased sachem (chief) of the Massachusett tribe, who ruled the tribe as regent to Chickataubut's minor son, Josias Wampatuck. In 1655, the English navy took the island of Jamaica from the Spanish, so it is also possible the area was named to honor this recent British victory.

Apparently it's possible that Boston's "Jamaica Plain" has still yet another etymology for "Jamaica"
