[To Hell With Poverty]

I know what you mean. I grew up in North Andover, which at the time was still part of Andover and bordered the part of Salem where the trials took place, which would later splinter off to become the town of Danvers. Still a dark and harsh place in many ways. The native populace is quite closed off and judgemental to this day. Had itermmittent cases of the heebie-jeebies my whole childhood.

[Little Bill]

Salem is French Canadian, Irish, and illegal aliens. I grew up in Peabody, South Danvers, one of the most corrupt cities in Mass, Salem a close second.

All of the Yankees that remained in Salem moved to Marblehead and points West.

One of the Proctors worked for me years ago, possessed by the devil and commie to the core.
