Today's question is from @ShrekDawg:

What is something that is regional/strictly unique to your area that you didn’t realize was regional or unique until recently?

Ten miles south is the home to a rare rock called "Poppy jasper".

Good food. It took moving away from Texas to understand just how superior Texas food is.

I don't know, this is a tough one

I had a really good one in mind at the time but I’ve since forgotten it.

But we have several local chain restaurants and stores.

Plus of course non chain ones but yeah.

Market Basket (grocery store) is AMAZING LOL

Plus we do have Plymouth Rock but it’s kinda lame and also supposedly not the actual rock

Huckleberry. I guess it's nearly impossible to grow them outside of the state or something
