    Bob, I'm sorry, but Everett makes me want to open all my veins, and I was born in Lynn. . . near Union St, so that's saying something. It really is saddening. With the foreclosures and short sales, a lot of people are stuck. Glad you got out. I was in "Cambriville", Camb/Somerville line, now I'm in Ball Square. 5 years in town. Prior 30-ish years, West Peabody, Wakefield, Salem. Enjoy the silence, you'll be back:D

    My whole family's from there, so it's tough to "get away". But you're right, it's horrid. These days though it's about as ghetto as you can get. Barely a step up from Dorchester / Mattapan at this point. And having the most corrupt police force in the state doesn't help at all.

    Then again, Lynn does have that rhyme about it....
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    The old man was in the Marines and off to Nam 3 times and a few other things after the war was over. We moved a ton of times. Sometimes with him at home, sometimes when he was gone. I never went to the same school twice until the 7th grade. Sometimes didn't even make it through a full school year. Funny thing is there were no bases where we lived. I never lived on post is what I mean.

    Born - Pensacola, FL. 5 yrs
    Tallahassee, FL. 1 yr
    Jacksonville, FL. 2 yrs
    Perry, FL. 1 yr
    Melbourne, FL. 6 months
    Ft. Myers, FL. 1 yr
    Bay Minette, AL. 3 months
    Montgomery, AL. 8 yrs
    Conyers, GA. 1 yr
    Atlanta (Buckhead), GA. 9 yrs
    Marietta, GA. 19 yrs


    We moved so many times my dog would chase a moving truck down the road thinking we were trying to leave him behind.

    Well, he doesn't have a life of his own (other than assorted paranoid manifestations) so that would sort of explain his fascination with that of others.

    I have no idea what Renton was like when you grew up there. I'm sure it was different, not that its bad now.
