If you're not from here, you are not welcome
I lived in Quincy for 15 years. I owned a house and participated in the local economy. My kids went to school there. The kids have fond memories of Quincy. I do not. Charming looking town. But if you did not go to High School there, do not expect to make many friends. Quincy has been 40,000 people since 1860. Time again they have driven away business and manufacturing that would have increased the population. They are an island. 2.5 hours from anything else. The cops are power mad and likely so bored they look for people to harass. When I left Quincy, there was literally nobody to miss or contact after the fact. I am educated, friendly, successful and have never intentionally broken a law. I have lived many places and Quincy is by far the worst of the lot. I never met so many awful people in one place in my life.
