what i observed the few times i went out it people want to mind their own business. very different where im from.

you should seek Teddy B and SpookyTurtle - they are in Boston or a suburb.

I've lived in Boston (Metro and surrounding areas) all my life. Yeah, it's hard here. People generally are too concerned with their jobs and being conservative to look up and say hi to someone. It doesn't help that I'm mega shy.

But, one thing that has helped me expand my small but awesome group of friends in recent years is taking classes. Right now, I take bharatanatyam classes (Indian classical dance) and I've met and hung out with some really cool people. The volunteering is a good idea as well. And the other thing is reaching out to your co-workers (I tend not to do this because business needs to be separate from personal in my opinion).

Good luck and welcome to MA!

Bradford, Rte.125 right near No. Andover? If so, I recommend going to The Loft or Joe Fish on Rte 125 for the bar scene, hanging out and making friends. Also, the Butcher Boy has great meats and produce.

I know Spooky is easy, but I don't come cheap, la!
