A subreddit for Agawamers to discuss Agawam
Welcome to the Agawamiest place on the internet.

The actual fuck...
Since the R14 goes by The Big E it takes 1 to two hours to get to Agawam during Big E time. They need to find another way to get to Agawam during this time of year.

The power went out about an hour ago while I was doing a project for school. It was scary for about 5 minutes. But its back on.
I've been living here for most of forty years, oblivious to most goings-on, but it just occurred to me that this subreddit gives me the power to find out how recent community closures and the stress over this virus are affecting my neighbors far and wide.
Me: I work two jobs, both food service (one in Agawam and one in West Springfield), and while neither has yet closed, there are mounting whispers that it's an eventual certainty, at least at job #2. (Please forgive me for leaving my restaurants unnamed.)
Have any of you been furloughed? I've heard doubtful things with regard to Unemployment Insurance eligibility borne from these precautionary school/restaurant/etc closures, but I'm admittedly curious to learn something more concrete (and hopefully uplifting) if anyone is aware of our legal rights as MA employees.
I don't have any children, but as I understand it all schools are shut down for two weeks (please correct me at any point if I'm mistaken). That's gotta throw a monkey wrench your way. How are you dealing with that? Other parents might benefit from your workarounds or just ideas in general.
I do hope that no one is living in actual panic. For the past three days I've had some very mild sinus symptoms (just a runny nose at present), and part of my posting here is to distract myself with "work." I think I'm a day away from self-quarantining just to play it safe and respect the wellness of you all around me, since I have no idea if I've contracted the common cold (with terrible timing), or if I'm the one holding the hot potato. If that's the case, I refuse to pass it to the next teammate.
What I'd like is for this post 1) to magically resurrect the subreddit membership and gain some attention, and 2) to help my fellow citizens band together, provide some advice or solutions to others in need, and mainly just help each other deal. I don't know how you all feel, but I feel largely underinformed, and feeling in the dark can certainly exacerbate panic. Feeling informed, however, can have the opposite effect of giving you a feeling of control and peace of mind.
Let's please all share life stories, concerns, and advice, and help each other through this trying time!

Hi Chris, I am from Agawam. I escaped for a few years but I'm back for now.
I graduated from high school in 2007, but didn't attend AHS.
Hi fellow Agawam people. This sub looked like it needed a post.
I went to this school in the 80's and I can tell you the favorite saying in school was 'Agawam sucks'. In fact go anywhere and that will be the saying in their high schools too. The truth is Agawam is a whole lot better than anybody in high school is going to realize. Unless you come from say, Springfield, as my son did when we moved back to town, though he had never lived here. He could not believe how much better Agawam was than Springfield also, he liked not having to wear a uniform to school. Funny he came home the first day and was surprised how many kids get high compared to Central in Springfield where he went, lol. I remember when I went we used to have smoking passes to smoke in the court yard near the office, we smoked a lot of weed right under their noses.
While on the other side of the state for college, I've been hearing a lot of student reports about people defecating in the High School's hallways, on the auditorium stage, and anywhere but the school bathrooms.
The stories range from feces being spread across the school's stage curtains to students shitting nonchalantly in the hallway, thinking no one's looking.
Can someone confirm if this has become a fad or not? I've heard about four stories so far and while it's hysterical to hear at first, I have to wonder if this is actually a thing or not.
I also don't trust my sources that much, either.
Also, whooo! r/agawam!
