"Pibuddy"
"PI-b'di" for the fast-talking North Shore Italians. The North Shore is full of town names pronounced nothing like their spelling says they should. Billerica is "BRICK-ah", Haverhill is "HAY-vrul", Beverly is "BEV-eh-li", Woburn is "WOO-ben".
Mass is a special place. Knowing your fondness for Asheville, you might want to check out Western Mass next time you have the chance. Williamstown, North Adams, Northampton. The Berkshires and the Blue Ridge Mountains have a lot in common (beyond being part of the same wider range).
Also, if you haven't done it before - don't sleep on Rhode Island and Bristol County, Mass. Especially if you like Lovecraft or anything Gilded Age. You can do a New Bedford - Providence - Newport run (you can skip over Fall River).
