Now zoom in and it's all thanks to four square miles of the Boston and Cambridge area containing half the PHDs and MDs in America. I'm only half kidding. Kinda skews the stats. But plenty of places in Mass don't show any such major contrast with the surrounding region. So let's not congratulate ourselves too much when there's homeless addicts walking our streets too.

During Medicare enrollment season -- which just ended -- it's not just daytime TV.

It's a predatory world out there for the elderly. Everyone wants to take their money and take advantage of their very age.

VW microbus, perhaps?

Possibly a Land Rover Defender.

Edgier option: a Buick LaCrosse or Subaru CrossTrek.

Reply to Why did Great Barrington vote so staunchly for No on 2? by nrvs_hbt

Live two towns over. The reason is we have no teeth around here. So why should we pay for yours?

I jest of course. It's a lovely place to live and most people here are pretty community-oriented. And while we probably have fewer teeth than Boston, we have enough to get the job done.
