Western MA here too.. Connecticut line..

Where? agawam here

 

[SassyLassy]

Grew up and went to schools all over Ma (Quincy, Southie, Bedford, Brockton, Abington, Whitman, Holbrook). I loved living in Mass but since DH and I were looking to buy it was a lot more reasonable to buy in NH. So thats where I am now, Souther NH. Nice place, still getting used to it. but the food is so much better around Boston....especially Chinese food!! lol

Why yes they are DeeDee! I did live out in Western, Mass for a short while. I lived in Palmer while going to Umass Amherst. I love going out that way though. Such great community activities in the spring, summer and fall!! Plus I always try to stop by Deerfield to go to the Yankee Candle Factory.

Have you lived out in the Eastern area or South Shore?

The Yankee Candle Factory is such much fun, isn't it?
I lived in Sunderland for a bit while I was at UMASS Amherst and we were right over the bridge from the factory.
That whole area is just so wonderful and peaceful

I actually grew up on the south shore, college in Western Mass, grad school in Boston, living in Somerville/Cambridge area.

no moved to western mass when i was a kid and the farthest east i've lived is Belchertown but the generation before (my parents) lived there and the generation after (two of my sons) currently live out there and really seem to be enjoying themselves.

Palmers about five minutes down the road in fact our oldest still plays tri-county baseball for St Joes of palmer and we spend a few evening/afternoons at Deerfield Academy watching him play each summer

Any of you New Englanders dare to drive to WDW? DH and I are thinking about it for our Dec 08 trip. We were going to rent a car anyways for the week. Adding on those few extra driving days would be cheaper than plane tickets.

We're planning to drive down for Christmas vacation this year!
We've done the drive a few times, having moved down and back
It's not so bad if you've got a DVD player for the kids, gameboy, etc.
Usually we stop in Maryland and/or Georgia...but we're planning to drive straight through this time (unless we come to our senses between now and next winter.)
The price of gas right now would be a little less than $400, a lot less than plane or train tickets for 7.
