Reply to comment by BigE1263 in Authorities: ‘innocent bystander’ killed in Holyoke Mall shooting by Linux-Is-Best

Holyoke is not the center of Western Mass (neither geographically, politically, economically, socially, etc) and we should all be glad of that fact.

But especially geographically https://ontheworldmap.com/usa/state/massachusetts/map-of-western-massachusetts.jpg

I mean western mass really starts at Newton for many of us Bostonians so the statement seems more accurate 😂

It’s beautiful out there for sure but to me it’s all basically Vermont once you pass Springfield lol

Once you go further West, yes, it does become more remote. The same is true if you go North and North, West. There are a few exceptions, such as Greenfield and Pittsfield, to name a few. But once you exit past Amherst or Westfield, depending on which way you're going (further north or further west), it's mostly country towns and woods.
