There’s a town in MA called Great Barrington? I think you’re just making that up.

It’s better when you realize that Great Barrington was called that because there was another Barrington in Massachusetts (the one now in Rhode Island) when the town was created. So it wasn’t New Barrington, they went with Great Barrington because it’s that much better.

All of those places have equally ridiculous names as Great Barrington. I mean they’re all named after places in England.
