A Useful Map
In case you were wondering where one Massachusetts town begins and another ends in a sort of puzzle-piece like way, you can always consult this handy map!
Currently, town names sort of exist as blobs to me, and I’m sometimes surprised when I learn that I’m somehow in the actual city limits of Weymouth, when I thought the blob was over there somewhere. Towns just don’t stay in their blobs.
Consider Cambridge, where I work. The part of Cambridge everyone knows - the dense part with MIT and Harvard, is the east part along the river. But Cambridge actually extends out to the west, almost into suburbia. So even though I work at the end of the Red Line, I’m still, somehow, in Cambridge.
Weymouth always confused me, because there are three ways to get there from Quincy, and I have no idea how they are connected, haha.
I never realized how parallelogramic Weymouth is. Strange in a state where disjointed lines rule.
