    I only visited Boston for a day, so I am going by limited experience, but I fell in love with it immediately and was surpised at the slow pace of people walking on the streets. Everyone seemed nice and friendly. I didn't experience the "massholes" mentioned...of course this is coming from someone born and raised in NYC which for me was harried, stressful, unsafe, not terribly warm and fuzzy, and very fast paced. Wish I could afford the nice areas of Boston!

    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.

    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.

I long dreamed of moving back there, but as I got older, I realised that the politics just wouldn't agree with me at all. Furthermore, since the last time I was there, most of my remaining family there either passed away or moved down south to Florida, so there really isn't much left for me there other than my beloved sports teams. Of course, I still miss it there, though...the four distinct seasons, the beautiful nature throughout New England, the history....maybe one day it'll be suitable for me to go back.

That is the name we have for those flies which have a brightly colored green head. They hurt wicked bad when they get you. They are around only for a few weeks out of the year, in the middle of summer.

Had several Atlases & would compile lists of facts about each country... its capital, dominant religions, races, population, etc. Fascinating, the regional differences in Mass, as I saw for myself in Connecticut during the 2 years we lived in Brookfield Ctr, CT (adjacent to Newtown). Amidst these tough times, I so appreciate your interesting, educational, fine work & research... and particularly your delivery & unexpected "flat" or dry humor. It is so damn funny. My father would do the same thing. I hope you and your family are well, and life is as wonderful as can be for you, dear sir. Love, from Reno.

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
