My new favorite Facebook group is “You know you’re from Southwick if…”.
Created by Sharon Killips Alexander last week, the group has blossomed in a speedy fashion and has been entertaining thousands of us who were raised in the town of Southwick, MA.
Here is a small selection of the posts:
“Kimberly Kulik Hutton

“Karen Topor
If you walked around the neighborhood and had a special call to all your friends to see if they were out. You knew they could come out and meet up if they called back to you.”

Just a thought – So grateful that I grew up without advance video games, cell phones and the technology of today. We formed friendships that have lasted almost lifetimes, you used your imagination, got your filthy playing OUTSIDE…I think growing up the way I did formed a more well rounded person.”

“Peter Coppa

These are just a small sampling of the amusing posts on this group page. If you are from Southwick, MA, as I am, and want to share in the fun, be sure to visit the You know you’re from Southwick if…Facebook page!
