I’m not from MA, but I do remember Alice’s Restaurant, which was in Stockbridge, MA, just about into NY it was so far west. Not sure whether 40 years on would make the place less radical, but I suspect it is much like Bolinas CA: weird back in the 60’s and now interplanetary.
“...weird back in the 60’s and now interplanetary.”
Best description of 60’s & 70’s radicals I’ve ever read.
