The 413 – Western Massachusetts
413 is our phone prefix in Western MA and when I was young my mom would ask where we were going, I would reply “The 413!”. I love it here, there are so many towns with amazing history, culture, oddities and stories.
Tonight on Twitter Mark Fitzpatrick (@mrkfitzpat) shared what may be my favorite YouTube video ever…a hip hop music video homage to Western Massachusetts. I bring you: 413 (music video) by DrWestchesterson:
Sell Your Western MA Home for MORE!
Park Square Realty’s showings and pending sales are up about 200% over last year. Additionally homes are selling for about 5-7% under the asking price when Western MA homes are priced within fair market range.
I am the #1 Agent for listings sold at Park Square Realty and my percentages for percentage under asking price are often much better than the local industry averages.
If you are considering selling your Western MA home, I hope you will allow me the privilege of presenting my marketing plan and “auditioning” for the job.
Spring is Here – That Means Open Season on Gardening in Western MA!
With the recent beautiful weather the spring flowers are a bit early, but they are in their glory. I always think every season is my favorite, but truthfully, I find spring the most exciting. As the first spring flowers appear my dreams of a lovely garden begin to flourish, too!
There are some great places to get flowers in Western Massachusetts, but my favorite is Meadow View in Southwick, MA. They have a huge selection, fair prices, beautiful gardens to use as inspiration and helpful staff.
If you want to check them out, they open on April 25th and be prepared for crowds…it is a popular spot! Here are some of my favorite flower pictures that I have taken around Western Massachusetts:
St Patrick’s Day in Western MA
I love St. Patrick’s Day in Western Massachusetts. I am able to celebrate both my pride in Western Massachusetts and my love of my Irish heritage.
The best place to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day is Holyoke, MA and it is a weekend long celebration.
The official events kick off on Saturday morning with the Holyoke Road Race. The fun continues after the race with music and pubs and friends.
On Sunday the St. Patrick’s Day Parade is held. This is either the 1st or 2nd largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade in the world, depending on your source.
This year the warm weather was on our side and that resulted in record turnout numbers. Here is a short recap of the St. Patrick’s day celebrations in Holyoke, MA. I hope you can join us in Western MA next year!
