How Do You Know You're From Attleboro?

We posed the question to Attleboro Patch readers and Facebook users. Take a look at what they had to say.

You know you're from Attleboro when...

Fill in the blank.

We posed that question on Patch and on Attleboro Patch's Facebook page after one reader got the conversation going on our boards.


Take a look at what some residents had to say:

From Patch:

Patti Cheyne DiFelice  Shopping at Londons

Laura Dolan  You refer to all the stores by what they USED to be. Give directions starting with, "Take a left at the Old Barn, or over by the old police station" etc,etc.....

Sarah Slater Bennett  and it isn't Saturday without 2 all the way from Tex Barry's

From Facebook:

  • Ryan Ademan that just means you're old.
  • Stacey Beal My mom still calls a plastic bag an "almacs" bag
  • Amy Manix I still remember the small fruit stand next to the Camera Shop and the bridge. I miss the Attlboro of my childhood.
