Captain John’s is a good place to have defend yourself from westford st locals. I lived on westford st for years and always hated that place. I get it, they have a good frozen fried haddock plate….. doesn’t mean I want to defend myself from the 50 year old guy whose still talking about Lowell high.

You’re not wrong…
Tangent: the internet/reddit is such a fascinating place sometimes. Yes we are in a sub specific to a city and it’s very likely we have shared experiences as members of said sub. Its interesting though when you come across someone via reddit who has a different opinion but also shares so many commonalities:
- I too lived off Westford St for many years dating back to when Pages pharmacy was still there.
- I too was a medic (91B) in the Army
- I consider Tool and Pink Floyd to be in my top 3 bands (most of the trips I take back to Lowell over the years were to see these bands at the Garden)
- I went to UMass Lowell
- I could talk about Goldeneye/SOCOM/Mortal Kombat for days on end
- I play disc golf (never played Maple Hill but enjoy my home course in Fountain Hills)
- I’m not an ape but love me some AMC (average 6 to 8 visits a month as a consumer)
It’s likely that 50 year old still talking about Lowell High (probably wrestling) is someone I know or grew up with. In retrospect, I should have ended my comment with a “/s” and clearly told OP I was mostly joking (even if my own mother eats there at least a couple times a month — that fried haddock is the epitome of comfort food for many). I hope she/he had a nice dinner somewhere in Lowell.

Cheers! Lol it really can be fascinating at times. I’m at Muldoon throwing discs into trees a couple times a week usually.

Is it really frozen? They make a pretty big deal about getting their fish fresh every day. I've had the baked Haddock and it's amazing.
