There are some “towns” in western Mass. that you’ll miss if you blink. Some are so understated you don’t recognize them. Our town is much like that in eastern MA. Downtown is lighted. Outlying streetlighting was removed years ago and a bunch of us have our area own generators due to frequent outages.
If they buried our lines it would stop squirrels from chewing wires but with our luck, moles would take over. LOL!
