FWIW, I'm in my mid 20s. How old are you?

I'm really curious now. What do you/your ADD daughter want for entertainment? There's a fitness center, a pool, video game tournaments, plays, musicals, guest speakers, dozens and dozens of clubs, pig roasts, volunteering etc. and that's JUST on campus.

We're not Boston/NYC. That's a good thing.

Spoken like a true scholar and snob.

The Political Science Club and Conservative Union put it on every year as a ceremonial roasting of the political pig.

As a matter of fact, the Political Pig Roast took place this past week as reported by the MCLA Beacon:

Wednesday
Political science club pig roast
Quad, 3 p.m.

Sorry I missed it.

It will take a long time before they are at the same pace as the more eastern towns go but I don't really see that being a bad thing. If you like the outdoors and small town America, you will more than likely enjoy most of what the North Adams area has to offer. I have never spent a lot of time there but from the outside looking in, I would describe it as an old mill town.

so the new money and traffic, the subdevelopers chewing up and spitting out cookie cutters...oh never mind...
