I live in Brockton and in the summer it's Worst out here ! it's funny how Boston is not up there if you live in MA you would know how bad Boston is

Brockton gets a bad rep. There are large portions of the city that are beautiful and despite the school system being overpopulated, there are plenty of opportunities for students that want to succeed.
Favorite places: Westside Pizza Shop, Fuller Craft Museum, Rocky Marciano Stadium.
