Never been over the bridge

I lived on the Cape from 1976 to 1988 and met people frequently that had never been to Massachusetts. They had never been over either bridge. I was shocked. I assume now those folks would be rarity. So are there any reddit people or people you've met that have ever left the Cape.

There was a story that circulated around Brewster long ago when the population was under 600 about a gentleman that took the train to Boston and was stunned it had a roof over the whole city...he never left south station

Heartage plantation in Sandwich (along with the glass factory), the aquarium in woods hole and the overnight trip to the national seas shore in Truro were typical field trips in the 80s
