I see you just moved here. Counties aren't really a thing in New England. Yes, they exist, but we don't use them in any geographic orientation sense and if you reference something in terms of the county people will be very whaa?

I’m not so sure of that, I think most Worcester county residents are semi-familiar with it.

Familiar with it, yes. But our counties aren't used for anything. They aren't even a good indicator of homogeneity. For example, while Worcester seems fairly queer-friendly, there are areas in northern Worcester County that decidedly are not.

i moved here from Plymouth county so in my experience it's a good enough region indicator, but thanks!
