It got better for a while, they really cleaned it up and invested in the school and then it started down hill again.

I rolled through about 2-3 years ago and it still looked like a demilitiarized zone. There also ways been a hold out of stable communities the further out you get. But Holyoke was always a no go zone.

Grew up in the area in the 90s and 00s. What happened to Springfield is tragic.
