Small beach town on the South Shore of Massachusetts, recently experiencing unwelcomed suburban retail development. Coined "Marshvegas" in the early 1980's by high school kids who appreciated irony (based on the lack of in-town entertainment, and a ridiculous ban on video games). The majority of Marshfield High grads go to college (UMass Amherst, Bentley, and Boston College rank among their top picks). A fine town in which to live, if you can afford it.
