There is some nice reforestation going on there.

You know i dont disgree with you. However there has been so much gun violence in the past month, police are still abusing their power, politicans are doing minimal effort, and it’s all about money in this stupid capitalist economy. This shooting happened way too close to home. I hate that i feel scared to go in public. So i stand by my comment, america is fucking crazy.

We're actually going through a second phase of deforestation. Woodlands have been declining since the 80s due to development.

In Massachusetts, go to the Wayside Inn and order the turkey dinner. Don't worry, it is always on the menu. In New Hampshire, go the the Common Man.

To be fair, we don’t know just yet on that front but the gang violence part is definitely true in Holyoke unfortunately.

It got better for a while, they really cleaned it up and invested in the school and then it started down hill again.

Suddenly this old talking heads song popped into my head...
This used to be real estate Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town Now, it's nothing but flowers
Thankfully there are still so many bucolic vistas in western Mass. My favorite is still Tyringham cobble.

Reply to comment by Theredsoxman in Does anyone have a ground source heat pump? What is your experience like? by Theredsoxman
If you have a condensing gas furnace, I would not replace it until it reaches the end of it's life. They're fairly efficient. MassSave is doing a good job but with the increasing price of energy I wouldn't want to be locked in until things settle down. Oil I would switch in a heartbeat. I have heard at a convention that restrictions will increase for commercial usage at some point.

Gets me every time. I treated them like they were just no thing growing up. Then when I realized how ancient some of them were…

It’s insane how well all those trees around the river grew back in!! Those were natural to the area until they were forested right? Nice to a picture of nature recovering in todays world

It blows me away to see stone walls running through the woods and realize how much of it is less than 120 years old or so.

Oh crap, I worked at the mall and new plenty of the managers and business owners, including the victim if the name you mentioned is correct. He was a good guy.

I agree. I'm a similar age as you. Northampton feels more like a city now and definitely lost some charm. For covid they had Strong ave blocked off, i thought that was a great idea and hoped it would be permanent. Didn't the bags for the sidewalk sales used to come in the newspaper? I hope there will be something I remember when I can afford to buy a house there in about 40 more years.
If you call Northampton 'Hamp' instead of 'Noho' you might be getting old. =)
