It pisses me off when I see a PA license plate and their motto is "the birth place of America." That's a lie. Massachusetts is the true birth place of America. Springfield is also the very first city in America named Springfield. Every other city by that name came later. I love my city and am damn proud to be from Springfield, MA

Springfield is actually getting better or at least trying, granted there's tons of dirtbags still. Regardless, the new courthouse, updated civic center, renovated train station, new casino, new additions to Bay State Medical, new CRRC train facility and quality colleges are all big pluses and moves in the right direction. I honestly think that if a high speed train was put in it would really boost and grow everything similarly to what happened in Brooklyn, NY. Places like Boston and NYC are so overpriced and overcrowded it's disgusting. The only thing that makes sense is go outward for homes and better living conditions, but most that work in those cities can't or don't want to deal with the commute. Imagine a high speed train that would get people from Western Mass to Boston in 30 minutes?

the brownstone buildings early in the video are the same architecture as brookline and Boston. the ones out that way are long row house based lots of them. renovations are just getting started they are much more expensive. there is also really nice pricey homes near some. there are rich people and poor people living near each other. things function differently as well
