Everyone seemed nice and friendly.

    An overall good description of Massachusetts with a few exceptions: we pronounce it Berksheers. Worcester is not quite the ghetto he lead you to believe. Worcester has 9 great colleges, a thriving biomedical research industry, a revitalized downtown. 01602 was recently named as one of the top 10 hottest zip codes for real estate in the US. Springfield does have some nice sections in which you can buy a great house for a fraction of what you'd pay in Boston.

They had marched down a major road(a dirt path then) but the battle took place in my yard, around 2 acres and was a horse pasture. We are in the woods, but it was all fields as far as you could see back then.

The example was, failing to change a tire, on the west coast, they will empathize as they drive by (nice, but not kind), on the east coast, they pull over, give you rash of shit for not knowing how to change a tire, all while they are changing your tire for you. (Kind, but not nice) I think that nails it, and I'd rather the kind but not nice approach.

      Ye this dude has mad stereotypical opinions, Worcester's barely gotten snow the past couple of winters. Plus I guess WPI (literally costs more than Harvard to attend) is low quality, don't get me wrong there are definitely tons of problems here, but the way this guy described is not really what worcester's actually like.

Everytime I go it seems like new construction going up and the new Polar Park should be interesting! I also like the breweries that seem to be plentiful in that part of the state! One more thing I go to Worcester for is the Factory of Terror every October pretty cool haunted house although, thanks to Covid not this year! Anyways cheers my fellow Masshole 😄😂😂👍

    For anybody wondering about the West Portugal part of the map and why it’s called West Portugal, that’s Bristol County. It’s where where Fall River is. Everyone I know from Massachusetts calls it Little Portugal, because virtually everyone there has Portuguese descent. Not just in West Portugal though, virtually everywhere here you’re bound to meet someone with Portuguese heritage. Especially around Bristol County.

    I've thought about moving to Massachusetts because of how much better the schools are there. Honestly if I was raising kids and I could afford to move anywhere in the US I'd move to Massachusetts so they could have a much better education. At 32 it may be too late for me to have success in college especially since I dropped out of junior college at 24, although maybe I could find something too if I could afford it.

    Massachusetts is beautiful to say the least. I enjoy walking the many miles of bike trails and if you love history as much as I do you should visit some of the cemeteries. Yeah, that don't go over well when your date asks what you wanna go do. Let's hit the bike trails and check out a graveyard. Seeing the headstones of soldiers from the Revolutionary War, French & Indian War, Civil War... It really makes you think and feel grateful to these brave men and their wives that came to this country. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be here. Mass is not a cheap place to live, that's why we call it Taxachusetts but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Its home
