Yeah Steve I had one of those Brockton guys over my house yesterday and they didn't try to sell my daughter any crack or even steal anything in the house so don't jump to conclusions. Wasn't in Falmouth that someone shot your car window out. Sounds like Brockton is much safer, for you anyway.

I used to live in Brockton once, for about a year. Actually twice if you count the 4 months I stayed with my brother. I thought the Cape was getting worse and people are moving away from there, but maybe that's just me.....
I'll have to tune into that one Eddy

Brockton and liven on the edge

We don't need another I remember when thread but...................................I remember when a hot time was cruisin Main Street in Brockton, up to the clock at the start of North Main Street and back to Kings Store parking lot was liven large, especially when you got a girl to talk to you, and it was a weeknight. Now to do the same three or four mile ride you need a couple of friekin guns in the car and a vest on.

Thumbs down

So......? Even Slim Whitman wrote one good song but he still sucked that's why he was the biggest country and western singing star in Great Britain even though he was from the USA. The place sucks, my personal experience. (My wife locks the doors on the car on Rt 24 going thru there AT 70 MPH .)

Why even try.........

Cool

Oh yeah, we don't have far to drive on the cape to experience a slice of Brockton, we have Little Brockton or the Brocton annex right in Hyannis, where do you think the drugs come from originally before hitting the cape?

Why even try.........

A buddy of mine when he was in the service left first his Vette, then his 70 GT500 in another buddies care. We used them constantly to go everywhere on weekends. Loved running Main Street, saw some great cars.

Here is a dose of Brockton. That P.D. has to prioritize its calls unlike years ago. Now some calls such as crashes go unanswered. A week ago this guy driving a wrecker wacks this guy on route 27 just over the line from Whitman into Brockton. Leaves the guy laying in the middle of the road hurt bad. People call us because they wont come. This happens quite often by residents in the area. They had calls that had a higher priority I guess. Well our guys get there and call them and tell them we have a guy really seriously injured who needs an ambulance and we also tracked down the wrecker operator (who I arrested when he was 14 or 15 for DUI, leaving the scene and so on). We had to force them to send a car. We can't investigate a crash in another town like that. Its one thing if its minor and we help people change papers, but when thier is serious bodily injury that another thing entirely. They finally came.
