Very. It appears a pretty big staircase I’m sizing up to make a case for a proper rail service.

Thanks for the link. That was before my time here and is disappointing to see, to say the least.

Suburban sprawl hidden by trees.

Theres Quabbin….and then….???

Lol. Aside from Belchertown, these are all in the Berks.

I agree with you! I grew up just next door in Sturbridge and recently moved back (partially because I literally can't afford rent anywhere in the country anymore, but also because MA is a good place to be) and I always thought Southbridge got way more shit than it deserves. Yeah, it can appear a bit shabby and sketchy in parts, but the people are good, genuine, and unpretentious. Mill Street Brews was cool while it was around and there's still a lot of great food for way less than you'd pay elsewhere. I think Southbridge would be fertile ground for someone with vision and lot of money to resuscitate the local economy. Independent businesses could survive there whereas it seems like they're getting squeezed out in other parts of the state and the town has a lot of the walkability and "vibes" younger people are looking for.

There are 3 active human mods. Only 1 seems to be…let’s say “normal,” based on comment history.

Arcpoint was supposedly working on an on-site brewery and taproom there.

My only complaint is that there's one map that states that there should be dragons out here. I haven't seen one damn dragon.

Missing from list is Southwick. Boating, fishing, hiking, biking, and motocross. Mrs. Murphy's Donuts. Moolicious (stupid name, great ice cream). Come visit!

Great Barrington is actually underrated.

What brewery?

Antonio’s is garbage. Belchertown pizza is way better and closer to red rose in taste. At least Amherst has Bueno y Sano.

Also, Lanesborough? Has anyone been there before? Williamsburg? Really? Williamsburg at least has the brewmasters pub but even then it’s just alright.

Until Belchertown builds a link to the Norwotuck trail, it sucks in my book.

And the NESFI project which is a neat thing to visit when they are hosting events.

But yeah, Belchertown.

Also Williamsburg being on there. I live there. The Grange? As a main attraction? I've never even been in that building.

A lot has closed that was great 10 years ago. The bowling alley and the cannery (a great performance space for bands). My pitch for Southbridge is that I lived in their downtown for a couple years. Although dumpy and depressed, my car was never broken into, and most people were pretty friendly. I think Jerry has since passed away (iykyk). Nearby to some pretty good restaurants, mostly in Sturbridge but some pretty decent in Southbridge itself. Margaux’s Deli is a really good sandwich shop too. Sturbridge coffee roasters is decent I hear. Good access to some farms to get fresh turkeys for the thanksgiving and farm fresh produce most of the year. Has access to west like dam with us a great spot to go jogging or throw a frisbee, walk the dog. My only complain is that it’s just too far away off the beaten path. Like I said, controversial pick. I get it.
