Right now, with the changing of the seasons, the air getting crisper and the leaves falling from the trees, ILX seems to be getting somewhat wistful, reminiscing over lost loves, the single ILXors feeling lonely and demanding help on "how do I meet girls/boys," and the ILXors in relationships asking for proposal etiquette. Despite a brief flare-up on the MoMA thread yesterday, hot tempers seem to have been dampened by cooler weather and a sense of something missing from our lives. Among the American ILXors, there is also an undercurrent of politically-induced tension.

When I was little, my sister and I would gather pretty acorns in a bucket to play with, but inevitably every year we would forget about it and discover it later filled with worms and rotten ick.

Oh my darling sweetheart - you have just stumbled upon a very historical conversation about Massachusetts and its environs. Great Barrington is in Western mass - but also in the Berkshires. So it's practically New York. Worcester is in the center of the state and is a notoriously sad place. Springfield and Holyoke are very sad. Longmeadow is a very rich town - right next to Springfield. Worcester, the very center of the state, is a bad town. Well, that's popular opinion.Massachusetts is very much a history of labor and manufacturing. Each town and city has its pride - mostly from the defunct mills. In Holyoke, which was the "paper city", the irish do not get along with the recent immigrants. It's spics and micks. Westfield, which was the "whip city" in its heyday (the manufacturing of whips for horses and buggies) is now a run down city that manages to support certain local busnesses while, also, being very xenophobic about the recent influx of imigrants - from Ukraine.Springfield is now the home to many West African people. And each town is very specific about its population.Holyoke is for the Hispanics. Westfield is for the Russians (Ukranians, but). Springfield is for the Vietnamese and the West Africans. And god help you if you dare to cross a border.Great Barrington is for rich people. Massachusets remains the birthplace of American democracy only because we can't seem to figure it out for ourselves. Our governor is a mormon Republican and our Democrat senator is running for president. Go figure.
