Northampton was a wild town to grow up in. Born eary 80’s. Lived there until mid 2000’s. Lots of changes and fun. It is hard to go back and see it now, I am still in the valley just not Hamp. The old tastes of Northampton, three county when it was huge and took up the entire fair grounds. Lots of great memories.

I agree. I'm a similar age as you. Northampton feels more like a city now and definitely lost some charm. For covid they had Strong ave blocked off, i thought that was a great idea and hoped it would be permanent. Didn't the bags for the sidewalk sales used to come in the newspaper? I hope there will be something I remember when I can afford to buy a house there in about 40 more years.

If you call Northampton 'Hamp' instead of 'Noho' you might be getting old. =)
