        I would say there are a lot of people from NEw England here. Also from Mass.

        Where in Mass are you located? Any roadfood gems out there?

                Oh wow, I live in France but I was born in Springfield, moved to Chicopee as a kid and also lived in various surrounding towns near Amherst / Noho. Are you guys going to have good foliage this year? I hope so, it is such a sad time to be away. Pumpkins, gourds, foliage, apples, corn and everything, please enjoy and think of me...

                  I'm in Trumbull, Ct. Our leaves have started to turn already. We are planning our annual "leaf peeping" trip to Vermont.

                                flattop5, thats okay you can return your membership badge to anyone walking in the street. Of course you have to be north of Danbury to do so and we already set up the roadblocks. So just drop it in the mail.

                                  For anyone who will be visiting (or dreaming of) Western MA, here is a nifty site I found while surfing :

                                  www.buylocalproduce.com

                                  it's full of addresses for farms and stores and restaurants that use local produce as well.

                                    oops, it's www.buylocalfood.com

                                    sorry, but perhaps someone with a farm could get the produce name and start a site in their area

                                        wanderingjew, you just kicked me out of New England! I'm on the shoreline in West Haven, and it sure doesn't feel like a suburb of NYC!

                                          I am told that merely living in New England does not make you a New Englander. Although I wasn't born in New England, my son was. When I asked if he was a New Englander, I was then told that kittens born in an oven doesn't make them biscuits.

                                                  Born on the Texas/New Mexico line, myself, but I've lived for the last two and a half years in Allston (the best part of Boston, I think) with my lovely wife, who's lived in the city since she was six months old, and would have been born here if her Army photographer dad hadn't been stationed in Germany at the time. So I'm kind of townie-by-proxy at this point.

                                                        Well I used to live on the NY/Mass border, I would live sometimes in New Lebanon, N.Y. and other times in West Stockbridge. Does that make me an Atlantic Englander?

                                                          Sorry, your I-95 sign "still" says 55mph. I think exit 55 is the "dividing line". If I knew how to cut and paste the randmcnally map you would see what I mean!
