Reply to comment by Academic_Guava_4190 in 7 of top 20 small cities in America are in Mass., study says – Boston News, Weather, Sports | WHDH 7News by Commercial-Life-9998

It’s right next to Tufts. Get a lot of Somerville/Cambridge overflow.

It’s come a long way since the gritty “Meffa” days back in the 1980’s and early 1990’s when guys like the Saccos and Shawn Bates ruled the town.

That said, yeah, I’d have at least forty towns ahead of it in Mass alone.

I guess it’s been awhile since I spent significant time in Medford. Some of my family lived there in the 80s/90s and it has always had nicer areas. I was wondering if they had only been to the Tufts or West Medford areas. Back in the day the parts near Somerville were the worst frankly, but I guess some of the gentrifiers crossed the border.
