Probably Lowell.
Lowell
Agreed! I’ve only visited places west of 495, can’t say I’ve spent significant time anywhere. Dated a few guys from Worcester but can’t claim I know my way around the roads there.
Worst AMA ever! OP does not even answer questions.
Oh yah I will eventually I don’t live on the internet
Oh hay few of these are actually questions
Sorry you had to ever go to Lawrence
No I love Lawrence very cultural! Those folks taught me all my functional Spanish. Took me under their wing. Let me dance in their big family parties, very patient with my limited Spanish.
When Lynn is preferable you know things aren’t great.
I loved Lynn too. I like meeting people from different parts of the world! I worked with people from so many different countries had a lot to offer and teach me about different cultures. Fucking love Lynn. Wish I could afford to live there now. All my college credits from north shore community in Lynn. Worked at Bridgewell on Boston Street for long time. Before the Popeyes lol.
Long list but pretty concentrated north suburban/north shore area.
It is mostly Essex county I realize
What was your favorite and what was your least and why? Also, why moving so much?
Okay... favorite is hard. I did love Beverly and Haverhill and I’ll say it’s due to there being a lot of free live music community which is my thing. Plymouth Bridgewater I like the least. Ppl not friendly and segregated less diversity less culture less community. Boxford pretty boring as well as North Andover. I prefer cities and diversity over safety
Moving so much.... uhh family unstable, child of divorce, then I’m a floater as an adult myself. Inability to stay still or in one place. I’m a rare breed of cant sit still. Consistently inconsistent. It’s not a choice, most of my moves have been circumstantial. I also prefer jobs that have me doing a lot of different things in different places. I get bored easily and I sabotage shit without trying. I’m cursed, but the moving has slowed down since the Rona and Essex county is gentrified to the extent that I can’t afford a rooming house there even
Best coffee, ice cream, and pub?
Ice cream down river ice cream Essex or I will say Putnam pantry in Topsfield route 1.
Coffee Ipswich Zumi’s
Pub.... the grog Newburyport
Weefield boy
Westfield? Tell me more
What did / do you do for a living? Was work and home in the same structure?
Painting houses also working with a variety of disabled people in a large variety of settings sometimes in groups sometimes 1:1, always relying on community resources of the towns or cities my clients lived in to find some recreational outlets, did that for about 11 years in middlesex and essex County, a little in plymouth as well.
Best seafood place that you would recommend?
Essex seafood. Fuck woodmans. Farnams second behind Essex Seafood. All located in Essex. Fried clam capital. Essex Seafood had a bad fire last year. Not sure if they up and running again I’ve heard they are. This is where the locals go.
Would you ever consider a small town in western MA?
Yes absolutely. If I could get a decent job. I’ve been to north Adams and us d to camp in Florida,MA near tannery falls. I know nothing of Springfield area. Only been out that way (south west mass) a couple times, stopped to poop in a McDonald’s in Springfield once, was fairly sketchy. My brother lives out near Amherst and has for 15 years. I do like being near Boston because lots of opportunities.
