No reason to go to Springfield? LOL.....*The Armpit of Western Mass?

How dare you? LOL

[We used to swing off I-91 to W.Sring., on our way north to VT or NH, and make it a point to load up on carbs.]

We’ve gone through phases.....looking for the *Best* burger; *Best* ice cream, *Best* donut, *Best* lobster roll ....yada; so that’s how I *know* these things. :)

Growing up in Connecticut, we only went to Massachusetts for Riverside Park in Agawam, about 5 miles north of the border. We had contempt for the Kennedy liberals in those days, as Connecticut was a northeast Republican state in those days, and the Democrats tended to be Irish and Italian ethnics who didn't hate their country.

Springfield also has the Basketball Hall of Fame, of course. I also had my Amtrak from Chicago rerouted through Springfield. For best burger, have you tried any of the steamed cheeseburgers in Connecticut? Or Pralines in Meriden for ice cream? Or a grilled foot long on a toasted square (clam rol) bun? CT is gone, but still some good eating there.
