  • What is sad is that back in the 80's they were working on redesigning the downtown to have a mall with more big chain shops and making it a central area for people to go. But a bunch of folks who are probably dead now didn't want to change the look of north street. So they built up Allendale into a big shopping area and syphoned off people from going to downtown. Now downtown is just like every other mill town that didn't change with the times. Now there really isn't any reason to go there.

  • @kehembe1 The first time that I saw Pittsfield was in the early 60s on trips to a friend's house for weekends away from UMass-Amherst. Being a Boston boy I found Pittsfield completely different, and I loved it. The downtown, as I remember it, as alot more alive then. My friend's father worked at England Brothers. They are gone now, and I think their building is gone too.
