Loved your story about Brockton. I grew up in Stoughton and we hung out in Brockton all the time. I know all the places you talked about and George’s Café was one of my favorites.

Unfortunately, Brockton has become a dangerous place I would not take my family to a downtown restaurant there. The fabric of the city has changed. It’s no longer about hard-working people, but rather those looking for the government to provide for them. I don’t know what the solution is but new parking garages is not the answer. It’s what John F. Kennedy said ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.

No question Brockton has seen huge changes over the years. In some ways it doesn't even seem like the same place. Thanks for reading!
