is amherst central or western MA? cuz i almost said western but i feel like there are rules to saying something is western MA. i dont know them but i know enough to be afraid.
anyways, @thedrakeamherst rocks. went out and back in a night, so its an easy trip for an evening, especially if there’s a band you’re into. shout out @elteneleven and @talltalltrees for taking care of my ears for the evening 🤘🌳

Alright, let’s give her some grace on the western/central thing, not everyone comes out of the womb knowing everything 😅 With that said, a good rule is to mark western MA as anything west of the Quabbin reservoir. There’s a segment of Berkshires people that may cajole and poke that we in the Hampden, Franklin, and Hampshire counties are “central Mass”, but don’t listen to them. I hope this helps! Anyhow, come visit @thcc413 in Easthampton if you’re looking for some heavy riffs, we’re Massachusetts’ first cooperative-run bar (per the Alcohol and Beverage Control Commission)! We’re democratically run, and have almost 400 (and counting) people that co own this venue 🔥

A few years ago, a marketing firm was paid a lot to come up with a name, which pissed off everyone here in WESTERN MASS. We do like The 413 though
