Holy crap, that's only a few miles away from me. Hingham is a fairly well-off community that never makes the news for anything bad.

It's best known as the home of the original Wahlburgers, I guess.

We've been to that shopping area quite a few times. Crazy.

The original Wahlburgers is at the Hingham Shipyard. This Apple store is at the Derby Shoppes in Hingham. Local guy here too.

And there it is. The only reason I came to these comments was cuz I was like “where the hell is Hingham?” Found the comment by a local, got a clue about Wahlburger and scroll a bit further for the state. Ok, I’m done here. Back to r/all.

I remember when that area had an ancient abandoned Raymond’s department store back in the 70s. Decades later after graduating from college I couldn’t recognize the place. Hingham is about as nice as it gets for a sleepy south shore town/city. Prayers for the family of the deceased and injured.

Is that really something to be proud of?

It’s also the home of the oldest church in continuous ecclesiastical use in the US, the first coed school in the US, and Stars, which has decent clam chowder.

I used to give math lessons to a rich doctor's kid in Hingham.

The houses there are unnecessarily large.
