You Know You’re in Massachusetts When . . .

Just found a new book that has a Lizzie reference in it. Titled You Know You’re in Massachusetts When . . .: 101 Quintessential Places, People, Events, Customs, Lingo, and Eats of the Bay State by Patricia Harris and David Lyon. Published October 1, 2006 by Globe Pequot.

Lizzie gets a whole page.

Page 8: “you know you’re in Massachusetts when . . . folks still talk about the ’40 whacks'”

The book is really cute and a great addition to any Massachusetts collection. They got the Lizzie part right which is a big plus in my book!
