The Adamses
The Adamses were from Quincy, which I do not believe is part of the Irish Riviera, despite being on the coast south of Boston. It's too working-class, despite the fact that many from Southie and Dorchester settled there.
Plymouth is not actually part of the South Shore of Massachusetts Bay. It is the West Shore of Cape Cod Bay and its Geography makes it part of Cape Cod. Just a thought.Leftshore14:01, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Parts of Plymouth are definitely considered to be part of Cape Cod - especially Manomet/Cedarville/Ellisville. "West Shore" sounds like some sort of a joke or a prank. --AStanhope03:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Geographically, I'd assume he's correct, but that's probably too technical for something that's informally and inexactly used. I might live in the Merrimack Valley so I don't know exactly what I'm talking about, but I've always considered Plymouth to be South Shore. Plymouth geographically must be on Cape Cod Bay (I'd need a current chart I guess to know for sure...), not Mass Bay. In this article, being on Mass Bay is the definition of the South Shore. So, as silly as it sounds, that'd make Plymouth geographically West Shore - Just a term nobody ever gave any meaning to. CSZero22:28, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
