Massachusetts TikToker Says New Bedford Is “Friggin’ Gorgeous”
Not too long ago, Nancy Corridor launched us to Jeremy Honig, whose TikTok account options many movies mentioning how foolish Massachusetts city names are to pronounce. The truth is, Nancy was a giant fan of his track that he made up for city names.
Honig additionally has a unbroken sequence of “Massachusetts Cities You’ve By no means Heard Of,” which is as much as 29 elements and contains many cities in our native space. It looks as if most of his movies are completed by suggestion from a few of his viewers, asking him to “do Brookfield” or “do Bourne.”
In one in all his most up-to-date movies, Honig introduced up New Bedford as a city you’ve by no means heard of, which could really feel like an insult – till you hear what he needed to say in regards to the Whaling Metropolis.
To be truthful, it seems that Honig simply grabs a photograph of the city, a photograph of the county, and one different characteristic of it and provides up some sort of fast remark or response. It’s apparent that he doesn’t put a whole lot of time or power into discovering out in regards to the neighborhood and is simply going for a fast chortle at no matter he can discover.
The truth is, the video wherein he mentions New Bedford, “Massachusetts Cities You’ve By no means Heard Of, Half 26” truly options cities or cities most individuals have in all probability heard of, akin to Springfield and Sturbridge.
The feedback of his movies are full of folks mentioning that a few of these communities are fairly well-known, even when the movies are supposed for folks from outdoors of the Bay State.
He additionally mentions New Bedford, which he factors out is in Bristol County, earlier than providing up his opinion of the town based mostly on a photograph of a cobblestone avenue downtown wanting down towards the harbor.

LONDONDERRY, NH — A Massachusetts man is due in court next week to face a drunken driving charge after a crash on early Tuesday morning.
Just before 1 a.m., several officers were sent to Route 28-Rockingham Road near Smith Lane for a crash report. When they arrived, they found a single vehicle had crashed into trees on the south shoulder of the road. A utility pole had also been severed.
During an on-scene investigation, police accused the driver, James Shea, 31, of Malden, Massachusetts, of being impaired, “attributing his condition as the sole cause of the accident,” police said on Facebook. He was arrested on driving while intoxicated and false report to law enforcement charges.
Police said Route 28 was closed for several hours during the cleanup and pole repair work.
Shea was released on personal recognizance and is due in Derry District Court on May 7.
BROOKLINE – President Joe Biden’s administration announced Wednesday it is forgiving $6.1 billion in federal student debt for people who attended The Art Institutes, and more than 3,500 borrowers who went to one of the chain’s for-profit schools in Massachusetts will benefit.
Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell said $80 million in federal loan debt will be discharged for former students of the New England Institute of Art in Brookline.
“Predatory for-profit schools”
The Art Institutes shut down last fall amid allegations of fraud, with a federal investigation finding that fewer than 57% of students found jobs in their fields of study within six months of graduation. U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said that students took out billions of dollars worth of loans to attend the schools, but “got little but lies in return.”
“These predatory for-profit schools harmed vulnerable students for their own financial gain, leaving student borrowers burdened with debt and without viable job or financial prospects,” Campbell said in a statement.
The NEIA filed for bankruptcy in 2018.
“Millions of students, including thousands of Massachusetts students, were taken advantage of by The Art Institutes and had their financial futures threatened,” Gov. Maura Healey said. “This will be transformative for these students’ lives and benefit our economy as a whole.”
Who qualifies for student debt forgiveness?
Students who enrolled in Arts Institutions between January 1, 2004 and October 16, 2017 will have their debt automatically forgiven. Borrowers do not have to take any action or make any further payments.
Biden’s push to broadly forgive student loan debt was blocked by the Supreme Court last year. The president said his administration has now been able to forgive $160 billion total for about 4.6 million borrowers.
MASSACHUSETTS — Thousands of students from Massachusetts who attended a now-shuttered chain of “predatory” arts colleges will have their loans forgiven, according to the Attorney General Andrea Campbell and the U.S. Department of Education.
About 3,500 students who attended Arts Institute colleges — including the former New England Institute of Art in Brookline — between 2004 and 2017 will have a total of about $80 million forgiven.
The now bankrupt Education Management Corporation ran over 100 Arts Institute colleges in the U.S. The last of the schools closed in September.
“These predatory for-profit schools harmed vulnerable students for their own financial gain, leaving student borrowers burdened with debt and without viable job or financial prospects,” Campbell said in a news release Wednesday. “Thanks in part to the diligent work of my office, I, alongside the Department of Education, am tremendously proud to announce meaningful debt relief for former students of The Art Institutes and help advance consumer and economic justice for these struggling borrowers.”
Following a state lawsuit in 2018, the New England Institute of Art was found to have broken the state Consumer Protection Act by lying to students about what types of jobs they would get upon graduation. Tuition at the New England Institute of Art ran close to $19,000 per year, not counting room and board.
In total, 315,000 former Arts Institute students will get their debt forgiven, totaling about $6.1 billion.
