north adamsis a shithole of a town in western mass, that offers nothing for the people that live there. Typical age for women to give birth in this town is around 15 years old. You can always find drugs here if you know the right people. Most of the population in north adams survive by living off of the government and popping out more kids. One in four households on any given street are usually deemed condemned,not due to poor landlord upkeep,but from the residents not giving a fuckabout anything but their checks on the first of the month. If you should go here,do not talk to anyone, but should you have to, don't tell them anything of importance,or within five minutes, the entire town will know your business. People in this town aren't so bright,so it's okay if you want to stop and stare. The only good things about North Adams, are the roads leading out of it going to Connecticut,New York,Vermont,New HampshireMaine,or Rhode Island. Basically, anywhere but here is a good place!
A conversation between a father/daughter from North Adams:
Girl:Dad I'm pregnant.
Dad:But you're only 15!!
Girl:Don't worry,my boyfriend is 32 and he gets a check on the 1st of every month!
Dad:Well,I guess you'll be alright then.Gotta make sure my baby's got herself a good man,just like her dad...

(n) small city in the northwest corner of Massachusetts, known for its gothic decrepit nature, its state college, its proximity to the Berkshires and the MassMoCa Art Museum, and, surprisingly, home to a top Hollywood SFX company.

North Adams MA:The place where police defend Mob-backed drug traffickers from neighbors who dare complain about them. Where a certain former city official known for trying to convert NA into a boutique city for millionaires is himself patriarch of a clan of trailer trash. Where the local banks hire crackheads and junkies as tellers, the better to give organized crime access to customers' personal identifiers, safety deposit boxes, etc.
The North Adams MA City Council proudly. approved the police director's issuance of a taxi license to two thugs from PA convicted of running a taxi business to distribute narcotics in that state. Nobody in North Adams cares.

A small local town filled with a beautiful scenery during the Fall Foliage.

This place also has illustrious potholes plaguing almost every street. It's politicians has egos about the size of their businesses. Where it has a beautiful eyesore of a billion-dollar company showcasing art. A police station that is so good at its job that it's essentially a police-state with gentrification of the poor, disabled, & by race. If you go to the surrounding areas though, you'll end up finding rich snobs who look down on everyone in North Adams.

Her: Do you want to go to North Adams to have some fun?

Him: There's nothing to do here except going to MassMoCa & going to that stupid Berkshire Emporium.

Her: Yeah, you're right, the art there is garbage, & the Berkshire Emporium does hurt the town.
