TELL US: How Do You Describe Swampscott to An Out-of-Towner?

If you get a question from a curious visitor, how do you respond?



Occasionally we  field a question from an out-of-towner asking — "What's Swampscott like?" — and we're interested to know how you describe the seaside town to people who don't live here.

Is there no other place like Swampscott, or do you feel it's just a typical New England town? How do you describe Swampscott to people who don't live here?

Let us know what you think in the comments.

If you have the urge to use profanity, an asterisk "*" will not suffice. Please find another way to make your point so we can keep the forum a place where all are comfortable sharing and conversing about the town.
