West Bridgewater was filled with these. There used to be a secondhand toy store that looked like someone’s unfinished basement. You could find a bunch of 1980’s toys there even in the early 2000s. Last time I checked it was a cell phone store. West Bridgewater used to seem at least 15 years behind everywhere else, but starting in the mid 2000s or so it began to look just like every other place. It was oddly charming in a way.

Spags in Shrewsbury for me. Hot dog stands, walking around the store with my dad trying not to get lost, and the giant statues all around!
