ABINGTON, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Abington might not have a lot going on but at least its... the first town in Massachusetts listed alphabetically?
WBZ's Matt Shearer took a trip to find something "cool" and ask some folks what they like to do in Abington for fun.
Several people pointed him in the direction of Dairy Queen.
"If you're looking to spend money you can go to Target," one woman said.
Matt stumbled upon a Marylou's on his adventure, a coffee shop commonly found throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Matt stopped to chat with one man while walking around Island Grove Park, which the town of Abington refers to as "The Crown Jewel of Abington." In the mid-nineteenth century, the land was an important meeting place for abolitionists. The park has a man-made pond for swimming, a picnic area, swing sets, walking trails, and fishing areas.
One man said the people of Abington are what makes it worth a visit.
"Everybody gets along," he said before agreeing to take Matt for a stroll in his shopping cart around the Stop and Shop parking lot.
