Here’s the #1 Snobbiest Place in Massachusetts for 2024

Massachusetts is home to many friendly folks. Over the years I have met many people through my work in radio and I have only met a small number of people that have a less than friendly personality and that number is very small. But Massachusetts has been known to have snobby individuals in some areas. This could be due to having many affluent towns and cities as well as being home to a number of prestigious colleges throughout the state. Whatever the reason, there are some people that can't help but keep their noses stuck in the air.
