Those are my demon hours. I blast down 18 at like 4:15 AM and it’s empty.

I’ve hit the Mobil right next to the Route 3 at 4:30 AM all bleary eyed from having just woken up and pumped my own gas because no one was outside and I forgot about that weird rule. No cops showed up so it must not be illegal.

I like Quincy. My favorite town is probably Braintree but I’ll never be able to move there.
Brockton is getting worse. I was born in 1990 in a town that touches Brockton and I went to the vocational school that Brockton goes to so I’ve spent my fair share of time in and around Brockton for the past 33 years. It’s gone downhill and it was already pretty low to begin with. I don’t know what needs to happen.

Truthfully I would be more open to going further west if everyone and everything important to me in my life wasn’t near where I’m located now/if there was a way for me to make the money I make now out west without having to go to Boston and Cambridge. That simply isn’t a possibility. The money is in Boston and Cambridge. Always has been.

It is expensive here and most people will tell you to move to Central MA. I personally don’t like any area of this state that’s north of Boston or out west/central. Probably just a bias because I grew up in the area where I live now and I hate places with too many trees. Boston itself is great but absolutely impossible for regular people with regular incomes to move to and this goes for the towns around it. I live in southeastern MA and I’m like 40 minutes away from Boston/Cambridge which is where I work every day. It’s not bad. There are towns in my neck of the woods that are more affordable as well. Housing everywhere has gone through the roof but if you look in the right town in southeastern MA (Middleboro, Carver, Lakeville, Kingston) you could find something that may be closer to your range.
Stay away from cities like Brockton, Taunton, Fall River and Springfield. I might get some hate for saying that but those towns need help.
Overall it comes down to what you’re looking for. If you like a little bit of seclusion and don’t mind wooded areas then western and central MA could be for you. They are more inexpensive to live in.

Reply to Hooray for Western Mass by richg0404
Yeah I don’t know man. Living near Boston is good for me. It’s where the money is. I don’t think I could do what I do and make the same money in Western Mass. Not for my union, anyways. Once you remove that from the equation I’m suddenly paying for retirement, healthcare and all kinds of other add ons out of my check instead of behind the scenes separate from my wage. I’ll stay my ass on the south shore. It’s nice over here.

I know this is a bad thing but I would be lying to you if I didn’t tell you that I love this one thing about global warming.

Rooneys has to be a cover business. I refuse to believe THAT many people line up to pay for full service gas at a station with so few pumps that’s CASH ONLY.
