It's literally on the line. Here it is in Streetview: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8594...8i6656!6m1!1e1.

The left side of 79 in that shot is Lakeville, the right side is Taunton.

Try the Leicester, MA one...

Once again it's showing how sheltered this forum is overall. Almost EVERYONE goes to Walmart folks, at least on occasion...

Think Seabrook Wal-Mart is a show? Try the ones in Rindge NH or Orange MA! I've never been, but the Ware Wally world which is a rare (for MA) 24-hour supercenter, must be a real carnival.

I think Ware takes the prize for the worst of everything. Walmart-Seabook, we go there for our dog's food. They have a decent grain free brand that's a lot cheaper there than anywhere else. I make my husband go as I can't stand Walmart. In Seabrook the Market Basket is mostly beer and frozen pizzas, lol.

But WARE wins for everything bad, just everything.

Still I would take any of those Walmarts over the Framingham one. What a depressing dump that one is... It's not redneck at all, either.

The Tewksbury one is pretty bad.

The most redneck town in Mass? Nantucket from September-April.

The Framingham and Hudson Walmart customers are mostly senior citizens on fixed incomes. It's okay for buying a bottle of aspirin or a shower curtain liner. Ick to the wanna be grocery store department.

Come on aren't we getting a little mean spirited here making fun of a genetic condition.
