What about Gloucester? It's a little more than an hour by train.

Curious why you had two Bridgewaters, but didn’t include West Bridgewater? It can take over an hour, but the prices are some of the best in Greater Boston. The town itself though...well I guess you could call it quaint. It’s starting to look more and more like Any Town, USA though. I spent a decent chunk of my childhood there and it often seemed to be 15 years behind the times. Like you could walk into Zorba’s Pizza and kids would be playing NES in the backroom on a little TV. The thing was it was 2003.

Yeah I know what you mean, it still had a real Mom&Poppy feel around that time. Not the same especially with the Market Basket and development at that end of town. Is the Trucci's still there?

Yep, it looks like Trucci’s is still kicking there. It’s been a while since I’ve been inside so I’m not sure what the vibe is or how deep Market Basket cut into their customer base.

I was just naming towns off the top of my head. I didn't even know West Bridgewater existed, never driven through there.

One thing I noticed when I lived in South Shore were lack of mosquitos compared to North Shore. I never got bit for some reason. There were far more flies and yellow jackets though.
