Ipswich

A nice ass town in Massachusetts in which there are very little Cool Teen Hangouts like a Denny's or Mall, resulting in a youth population that participates in very few group activities other than smoking weed, going to Marty's Donut Land at 2AM, or bitching about the lack of things to do in Ipswich. Older working residents of the town are either grating townies that listen to nothing but shitty classic rock on WZLX or liberals that drive hybrid cars, put their groceries in NPR tote bags, and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars restoring poorly-designed colonial homes. Though a sizeable segment of the youth population works, their income is generally disposable, resulting in a largely weed-based local economy. Highlights of this town include Crane's Beach (one of the nicest on the East Coast), the trails in Bradley Palmer State Park, several open spaces with expansive views of Great Neck, and Pavillion Beach. Ipswich is within biking distance of several other bucolic North Shore coastal towns such as Gloucester, Manchester, and Essex. However, enjoying these things generally requires waking up and gathering your friends before 10AM, which is Hard.
