That's changing every year and you'll still find plenty of multimillion dollar homes sprinkled throughout, but you'll also find plenty of 1500 square foot capes and ranches. I'm guessing your encounter with the coffee-thrower likely happened in the latter part of town since that's also where a number of the major traffic intersections are. And there's a good chance the person was from a neighboring town.

I've spent a lot of time in Westwood at various points in life and it's generally a very subdued town with not a lot going on outside of the schools and stuff for families/kids (for most residents, that's a feature).
It definitely wasn't in the leafy, winding road part of town! This guy struck me as the type that would be an actual wife beater not just wearing a wife beater. Seemed like such a rage filled individual with no self restraint....if that's what he's doing to random strangers, I worry if he has a wife or children and how he treats them! Bananas!

How do you know he was from Westwood? You know a lot of people do pass through that town right?

you might as well say Dedham is posh too then if you're basing it on the top of the market homes:

I'm not saying Westwood isn't nice, it is...just not sure I'd call the whole town posh.

I have no clue where he's from...and didn't make any assumptions...just asked a question if Westwood has a lot of angry wife beater type men b/c that's the town my encounter was in and I've never had such an encounter anywhere else before!

Yeah I've never noticed. Maybe Dedham or Norwood back in the day, but they're both a lot more "polished" now as well.

He's a yuppie psychopath, totally different ballgame from the greaser in the lifted pickup (who chances are was leaving work to drive home to Bellingham).

Exactly....the Newton psycho likely didn't lash out at randoms on his way to work....other one is another story....he's a blue collar construction guy, just smoked his 6th straight marlboro light with dunks in hand, he makes his own rules and no one better get in his path or tell him he does anything wrong or else.
