I think it's officially part of North Massachussetts
now, isn't it?

When I lived in Concord I felt that way too, but it's much closer to
the high-tech jobs. The surrounding towns are still NH, town meetings,
pickup trucks and wood smoke. The cities of northern Mass are part of
neither state, they're in the Third World.

One clerk told me they stock only about 30% of what's in the catalog,
but it's a big store with a good selection.

I *might* do it for something big, like a milling
machine, lathe, etc. just to get eyes-on before opening
the wallet.

That's part of the 70% they don't stock. They have only a mini lathe
and a few of the unpowered machines like benders.
