Yeah pretty much. Lots of Hispanics in Lawrence and Haverhill but those people don’t mix with Andoverites. Well more like vice-versa. All the big prep schools are around there. Hoity-toity preppy Hell.
I think the social disfunction stems back from the Puritan days, honest to God. The part of Salem where they did all the witch trials is now Danvers which borders Andover and I think North Reading too. Wicked close anyway. I had to read all that stuff in high school and the conditions and attitudes haven’t changed much, just swap the old Calvanism for Progressivism. Today’s “virtue signaling” is just an adaptation of the old “let’s be sure people can tell we’re the Elect” from back in the old old days. Everybody’s suspicious, sizing everyone up.
So I can see a Trump sign triggering hysteria pretty easily, lol.
That’s fascinating. The things you dont know about a place, I mean REALLY know, unless you live there, are incredible.
