The South Shore, such a Unique place to Call Home!

The South Shore is a unique and interesting place to live in!  
If you grew up on the South Shore you know exactly what I mean!
Even though we love our Red Sox and consider ourselves Boston Strong, 
the South Shore has its own culture and it very distinct from Boston’s!

  • You grew up by at least one River, Lake or Farm ( if not all three).  The rivers and lakes have names no outsider can pronounce, and they are far from swimmable!
  • You know that Marylou’s is by far the best coffee in the world……
  • But get anxiety if there isn’t a DD within eyeshot of you at all times, even if there are at least five Dunkin Donuts’ in your town it still doesn’t feel like enough!
  • New York Pizza has Nothing on Classic Bar Pizza
  • And love the Creamy Goodness that is Peaceful Meadows Ice Cream
  • You spent at least one week down the Cape every summer!
  • And of course you know that the only thing worse than regular traffic is Cape Traffic!
  • Sometimes, to avoid that traffic, you chose to go to Nantasket and make the best of sunbathing on a rock at high tide
  • You drink from a Bubbler
  • Which is WICKED Thirst-Quenching
  • You know what a wish chip is. You know those cool folded over chips that you eat in one bite? They possess magical powers and us south shore kids have been making wishes on them since elementary school.
  • It’s a “Rotary”  not a roundabout or a traffic circle!
  • You drive like a Masshole and are proud of it!  You have the worst road rage of anyone you know.  Anything under 70 on the highway is slow.
  • You love The South Shore Plaza, no matter how crowded it is.  But if you’re feeling fancy, you go to Derby Street!
  • You went on at least one field trip to Plimouth Plantation and you know that Plymouth Rock is nothing special.
  • You went to Water Wizz because it was close.
  • You know exactly where Steven Tyler and Steve Carell’s houses are!  If you’re lucky, you have even run into them in the grocery store.
  • And you are a Diehard Patriots Fan!  You spend summers watching the Pats practice for free and now that Gilette Stadium has it’s own mall, there’s no reason not to spend every weekend there!

**It's a great place to live and I am proud to say that I am from the South Shore!**
