stoughton, massachusetts

Fall River North, New New Bedford, Portugal of the Americas, Brockton's Red-Headed Stepchild. These are all terms that have been used to describe this small podunk town south of Boston. Stoughton aspires to achieve the greatness enjoyed by such cities as Quincy, Worcester and Lynn. In the 1970s and 80s Stoughton was the type of place where long-haired teenagers wore t-shirts emblazoned with the names of heavy metal bands, but sadly has become a haven for wannabe thugs who's only regret in life is that they're not popping caps in peoples' asses in places like Dorchester or Roxbury: Real towns where success in life means that your welfare check arrived in time for the Nattie Ice sale at the local package store. With such famous former residents as Mary Baker Eddy and David Cohen Stoughton is sometimes the focus of statewide news but rarely sees fame on a national level. The nicer parts of Stoughton, mainly the areas in the vicinity of Plain Street and Bay Road, are often seen as extensions of the town's wealthier neighbors Easton and Sharon. It is very easy (and advisable) when in these areas to sometimes forget that you are even in Stoughton at all.

Conversation overheard in the parking lot of CVS pharmacy in Stoughton, Massachusetts

Thug #1 - "Yo, you wanna get something for dinner?"

Thug #2 - "Yeah, Taco Bell, Mc Donald's or Wendy's?"

Thug #1 - "No way yo. Let's go to the Bickford's near the Westgate mall."

Townsend, Massachusetts

A small middle class bedroom community located in the north/central section of Massachusetts on the New Hampshire/Massachusetts border. The town's public school system and athletic programs are remarkably mediocre. So, many families from Townsend with money or ambition send their children to one of the many local private schools (St. Bernards, Bishop Guertin, Cushing Academy, Groton School, Lawrence Academy) rather than Townsend's public high school, North Middlesex Regional. Most kids who do end up attending North Middlesex Regioanl are rednecks or stoners who love to smoke blunts and Marlboro Lights, drink Budweiser (probably bought at State Line in NH), use racial stereotypes, and suck at sports. Other than high school football games and substance abuse, Townsend has nothing to do. If you want to do anything else you have to travel to a surrounding community (Fitchburg, Pepperell, Groton, Leominster, Nashua, Lowell). These factors result in a serious lack of civic pride in Townsend.

The demographics of Townsend are very homogeneous as most of the town's population is comprised of white christians.

The town historically votes Republican.

I used to live in Townsend, Massachusetts. Here's an example of a conversation I might have heard in high school...

Townsend Kid 1: Dude I heard there's a kegger in

Timberlee Park.
Townsend Kid 2: Yeah, let's go pick up weed in Pepperell, rip a few bowls, park at the high school, and then head over.
Townsend Kid 1: I hope only white kids are there.
Townsend Kid 2: Of course!

Andover Massachusetts

The most affluent suburb north of Boston. Many of of the residents work in the city grossing a average income of $200,000. A popular sought after suburban town gives residents a beautiful downtown area, choice of renown private schools and neighborhoods filled with new construction brick colonials used for filming hollywood movies. With high property taxes and median home values, Andover has become one of the most elite suburbs of Massachusetts.

Jared: Woah beamers, bendz, and bentleys! Where are we?

Jim: We must be in Andover Massachusetts! I see Jennifer Garner filming "The Invention of Lying"

ashland, massachusetts

Ashland, or "Trashland" as Hopkinton and Holliston like to say, is a typical example of a suburban New England town that recently got a train station and considers itself more urban than the surrounding towns because of it. Then it builds a new school and million dollar houses while the selectmen bitch about how the town treasury is empty. Located between Worcester and Boston, the kids like to pretend they're from the city, but do nothing but "hang at the rez", specifically the pumphouse or rope swing, and take the 20 minute trek to the Natick Mall cause the only retail stores are on the Framingham side of town, and one must be fluent in Spanish or a number of Indian dialects to make any purchases.

"Looks like we're stuck in Ashland, Massachusetts again cause I got a flat tire on the pike and my car can't handle route 9. Let's go to the pumphouse and get stoned"

Dartmouth, Massachusetts

Town in southeast massachusetts, sandwiched between fall river and new bedford. The area is mostly known for over emphasizing the importance of high school basketball and football. Most of the best players are idolized and turned into local celebrities and then never amount to much in the rest of their lives. On the other hand, they have a great music department, and a beautiful harbor and many beautiful beaches. In the north side of town there are housing projects, a mall, and a very commercialized district that stretches a few miles.

ex: A: "Dartmouth, Massachusetts? Yea, Ryan and Norm used to be so good"
B: "Yea, I know. What are they doing now?"
A: "Who cares. Probably nothing."

Newton South kids are the true definition of Jewish American Princes/Prince.
