I’m from Pittsfield,Ma. The home of the Berkshire Eagle,it’s a vile liberal rag!I moved,ran from that state.
My mother’s side of the family is from MA from “way back”.
She married a Navy man, got out that awful place and had a nice life in Virginia and then Florida (she passed away last year).
Unfortunately, the rest of her family are still in MA. The differences between them as PEOPLE (their vivacity, their happiness, their reasoning abilities... just EVERYTHING) are stark, and even SAD (for the ones who remained in MA). They are such close-minded people.
