There’s a good one on Barker Road in Pittsfield during the summer. I forget the name of it, it’s about a mile past the airport if you’re headed towards Lenox.

My wife and I make right around that, a little bit higher, and moved out to the Berkshires. Got a nice house for a great price. We both work remote, so it really doesn't matter where we are. We're very very lucky to have that luxury.

CRUST being on there for Pittsfield is really fucking weird. They're not even the best pizza on that street. I'll take Teddy's over them every day of the week. Papa Joe's is the best pizza that I've had here in Pittsfield.

My wife and I got the same pan (and screwdriver) a couple of weeks ago. So far the pan has worked great!

I'm not a weed enthusiast, but I do like to get high. Stuff you buy at the store will get you plenty high. No complaints here for what I've bought over the last few years.

Sure will. I think Berkshire Roots and Bloom Brothers will survive, but the other ones are questionable.

I think we have about 7 out here in Pittsfield, and I think 2 or 3 more are trying to open. It's insane. I know that we're on the NY border, but they're getting legal weed next year, so that's going to make business crash.

Berkshire Vet in Pittsfield seems to strongly discourage the use of their location as an emergency vet -- https://berkshirevet.com/emergencies/
There's one in Latham, NY that's open 24 hours, so that's probably the closest to Pittsfield.

Market 32 / Price Chopper isn’t horrible, they’re just usually a clusterfuck of people inside.

If you need to get a hold of someone at DOR call (617) 887-6367, then hit 2, and then hit 3. It took me a few calls to find out how to talk to a person, but they picked right up when I did this and the guy was super helpful.

Reply to Nice and safe areas in Berkshires? by IllustriousAd3838
I love Pittsfield and I'll vouch for it being significantly safer than its reputation, but I've also heard the school system isn't the best.
Any of south county should be fine (Lenox and south), or if you want to be in central Berkshire county I've heard good things about Waconah regional for a high school. Waconah is the regional high school for the towns of Becket, Cummington, Dalton, Hinsdale, Peru, Washington, and Windsor.
Any of those towns are perfectly safe, and out of them I'd probably recommend Dalton. It's next to Pittsfield, so you have plenty of amenities (supermarkets, big box stores, restaurants, culture, etc...) but it's also a little more suburban/rural. You'd also have the benefit of being right in the center of the county, so you'd be 35 minutes to Great Barrington and 35 minutes to North Adams, and there's plenty to do in both of those directions.
The Berkshires are great, and going from what my friends with kids say (I live here, but my wife and I don't have kids), it's a great place to raise a family.

No, it's before Bartlett's. It's just a tiny little farm. There's a chicken coop out front.
