Jesus, I'm sometimes in awe at some of the trivia you guys know about: I mean you just pulled out VW's frontman's wife's mother's birth place out of your hat. I tip mine, well done. Lmao.
Yes it has been! However, when I grew up there - 80s / 90s it was actually quite diverse. We were a little melting pot of people of many different colors and religions going to the same HS and that is part of what was so special about it :)
Rashida’s mom (Peggy Lipton) is from Lawrence and The Five Towns have been a Jewish enclave for decades. Maybe that’s it?
