I’m from Michigan too. I’ve never seen anyone come to a stop in MA or really go below 40 while merging, unless traffic is bad.

What’s different, in my experience, is the way Michigan drivers will floor it to 80 on the entrance ramp and then make a beeline to the fast lane.

I almost never see that out here. People tend to change lanes slower and less frequently. There isn’t as much racing to get one car length ahead.

I’m also from the Midwest and it was a bit of culture shock to see how rarely people out here use turn signals. It’s like you’re saving it for a special occasion.

Do not forget to always refer to Dunkin Donuts as Dunkies.

I moved out to MA from Michigan 11 years ago. First thing I did was join a bunch of meet up groups. I also took some print making classes at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education. Took bike rides along the Minute Man trail to Concord. I’d say just have fun in the area. Go to museums, baseball games, etc. Eventually you’ll meet people who share your interests.

I mean I say dunkies. Am I mocked and ridiculed? Yes, but I still say it.

Same

You could take the commuter rail to Concord. Visit historical sites, walk to Walden Pond. I would check museum hours in advance, I believe many will close in late October for the season.

Will get smaller later in the day as temperatures drop.
