Reply to Is there a name for the Mansfield/Foxborough/Wrentham/Plainville/Attleboro area? by BobQuasit

Having grown up in Norton, I can confirm there is no official name for this part of the state. Geographically it’s part of “Southeastern Massachusetts”. Another map labels this area as “Gillette Stadium”.

You can argue it’s the “concerts and football” section of the state, when you take into account that the Xfinity Center is also in that area (or as I like to call it, Great Woods).

Reply to Is this the coldest you have seen it in Mass by Hoosac_Love

It was reported on TV that Boston hit double-digits below zero for the first time since 1957 - that’s 66 years ago!

So for me (age 36) this is the coldest I’ve seen it. Valentine’s Day 2016 was almost as cold (-9).

I paid $2.96 in Norton last week (using the Cumberland Farms SmartPay discount, and the store was giving 20 cents off instead of the usual 10).

CT and NY are dragging their feet. Each state has converted at least 1 Interstate highway to mile-based exits, but most other highways are still sequential.

Nope. New Hampshire and Delaware still are 100% sequential exits. Vermont also “cut corners”, adding small “milepoint exit xx” signs on their highways but predominantly displaying the sequential numbers.

Massachusetts completed all of their exit renumbering in 10 months, from October 2020 to August 2021. Rhode Island, meanwhile, started in 2017 with I-295 and finally completed every highway when they finished I-95 earlier this month.
