Paul DoskyHOST
Paul Jepson, as far as I can tell, he might be the only local besides many rivers.
Paul DoskyHOST
I could not Don't quote me on Middy Rivers right now because I think that's one that I can't remember if Middy was local or not.

Andrew TrimbleGUEST
I don't want to be in North Adams, Massachusetts or, you know, and nothing against North Adams, but it's just a little town, you know, it's a speck on a map.
Eric SwanickHOST
Yeah, and I think that's part, again, going back to the quote-unquote customer retention, player retention, you can't be forcing people out because out of ego or whatever you want to call it, where, again, youth hockey is not the super elite level.
Eric SwanickHOST
We can't be forcing people out at youth hockey.

Jim KeyesGUEST
who had taken advantage of the GI Bill and went to school, lived in North Adams, Mass.
Jim KeyesGUEST
And I used to remember as a kid, we'd go up there, up the Mohawk Trail and go to North Adams.
Jim KeyesGUEST

Jim KeyesGUEST
And I remembered his library.
Jim KeyesGUEST
Yeah, what you remember being a mansion.
Jim KeyesGUEST
Exactly, as a kid, you know, compared to where I grew up, this was a mansion.

It was built in 1890 by North Adams' former mayor, Albert Houghton.
