And Nashua, though it is technically in New Hampshire, being directly on the Mass border is well within commuting distance to Boston. So most of the people living there commute into Eastern Mass and get adapted to the Eastern Mass driving insanity. I like to call them Massholes. ;-) BTW - I am a reformed Masshole myself, so I can speak directly from experience.
