What? I see more Yankees paraphernalia whenever I’m in the eastern side of the state then I’ve ever seen in the western.
Source: Am from both sides of the state because of parents. As an adult, I live and spend most of my time on the western side, but still visit the eastern side often.

Guilty? lol
I am not a sports fanatic. I'm the type of person who watches the endgame... ie... The world series, SuperBowl, etc. But I do tend to cheer on the Yankees whenever they make it to the World Series.

I’m all for robust and open debate, but I’m like 90% this is hate speech and inappropriate for this sub. Who should I complain to?

If you find any bigotry or homophobia, please use the report button. It ends up in the moderator query, and then it's a 1st come, 1st serve on which the moderators view it.

Is it true they speak French there?

Ironically, some do. Fun fact, we also have some people fly the Canadian flag here too.
You will find a few Polish communities here too, and some from Puerto Rico. Throughout the years I have learned a bit of French, Polish, and Spanish for this reason. And it is not uncommon to see other flags here beyond just American.
St Patrick's Day is nearly a week-long event as well. One of the local parades here (Holyoke, MA) can vary from 1 - 4 hours long. I remember the one in Boston not being so extensive and was surprised by that fact. Although it has been shorter since the pandemic, though.

I once ate some of the world’s largest kielbasa at the festival in Chicopee. That event sadly fizzled. I’m in the Land of Linguica. Kielbasa here says Hillshire Farm on it. Not quite the same as the local stuff in the Pioneer Valley.

I miss Blue Seal Kielbasa, which was also from Chicopee. These days I cannot find any of their products in store.
