Hyannis is the most diverse part of the cape. I've heard it referred to as 'brockton by the sea.'

Why repeat racial insults, Whatsnext? Was there any need to write something like that?

Old article but other than the Mirant Plant which is now NRG and Pufferbellies finally closing down it's all still pretty accurate.

I see another thread going on where the whole south shore is referred to as the Irish Riviera. Now is that considered racist to you as well? Or no, it's only racist if it's non white people being referred to.

This board cracks me up.

No one takes "Irish Riviera" as an insult whereas the epithet you dredged up-- with no provocation-- is a deliberate insult.

Is that a fact? I fail to see how the two references are different.

Let me give you a hint: Is the French Riviera considered a nice place or a slum?
