A "town that's technically a city" of approximately 55,000 residents in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, about 13 miles south-east of downtown Boston.
The town's length is about 7 miles north-to-south; the width is about 3.5 miles east-to-west.
Weymouth is on the South Shore, fondly nicknamed the Irish Riviera.
IMO, one of the town's true gems is Grape Island, located in the southern part of Boston Harbor and within Weymouth's jurisdiction.
A couple of years ago, a Boston Globe columnist who grew up in Weymouth stated that "Weymouth ain't Wellesley, it's not Weston, and it sure isn't Hingham. And that's a really good thing." That quote is on the Weymouth government web site, BTW.
However, Weymouth, MA is quickly becoming a gentrified town. While it will never vie with nearby Cohasset, Hingham, Milton, or Norwell in overall demographics, the town is rapidly shedding its blue collar reputation.
I wouldn't be surprised if, in five-years time, many people talking about the "old neighborhood" will be referring to Brookline or Cambridge, not necessarily Dorchester, South Boston, or Quincy.
I am seeing more Subaru Outback, Audi Quattro, and Volvo Cross Country cars parked in even the most modest of Weymouth establishments.
Weymouth has traditionally been a "Chevy and Toyota" kind of town.
Although I am happy to see Weymouth progressing economically, I fear that many longtime residents, and first-time home buyers who traditionally consider Weymouth a "step-up" to more affluent communties, will be priced out of this town altogether.

Weymouth (Weymo,Weytown, Weydub) is a crummy town separated into 3 main parts:
South Weymouth (S-Dub): Preppy captital of WeyTown, probably the least boring palce, but still boring. East Weymouth usually hates south weymouth for it's popped colalrs. Preppy and Happening.
North Weymouth (N-Dub):basically a Braintree in a nut-shell (aka a highway). Braintree is rumored to be developing a shpere of influence to slowly suck N-Dub into its scary, cold, concrete domain. Weird and Stupid
East Weymouth (E-dub): Often thought of as the "cool part", E-dub includes Town Hall, the original high school (now owned by Sdub), and the projects. Centered around Jackson Square, Edub is the almost as stuck up as Sdub but definitly has had more real-ife un sheltered experiences than them. Outspoken and Cool.
West Weymouth? (DubDub?): There is no West-Dub. It was taken over by braintree after it lost quincy. Sick bastards.
South Weymouth is often hated by East Weymouth

A small town with a huge ego. Have never seen more Wiggers and gym rats in my life. Almost everyone looks like a crack addict. Tainted with fast food crap and cheap Irish-Americans. Being Overrun by Brazilians and Indians.
I rather live in Harlem than Weymouth dude.

A CITY on the South Shore of Mass. Words to define kids in Weymouth: Massholes, Wiggers, Skater faggots, Potheads, and Alcoholics.
Theres 4 parts of Weymouth. North (N-Dub), Landing (Dub-L), East (E-Dub), and South (S-Dub).
The population of people in Weymouth is mainly Irish (Thank god), though lately there has been alot of motherfuckers moving here from Brockton, Dorchester, and Whitman (Random..). But you know what that means.. lots of blacks. Property value? Decreasing at a steady pace.
Yes, Weymouth is a piece of shit. But you know what? I am proud to be a Weymouth resident. I would be proud to raise my kids here. Though there are many pieces of shit in Weymouth, theres still kids like me who can say that but will beat the fuck out of anyone in the surround towns who say it. Or anyone for that matter. Want to know why? Weymouth produces hard motherfuckers who will work their ass off and back up anything we believe in. We learned this from the people who have previously grew up in Weymouth, our parents. We arnt a bunch of spoiled assholes, we work for what we have. If you are live in Weymouth, its a beautiful curse, but it pays off. We are better than any other surrounding town, seeing as we actually have character.
"I'm proud to be from Weymouth. It's ruined my life, literally, but I'm proud."
Weymouth residents: Willing to speak up for our dump of a town because it is where we live.

the only town on the south shore of masachusets were the kids know what real life is like and wut its like to not always get evryhing you want. the kids here ar all have an obsesion with soccer and rap music, and nothing interesting ever happens here. parts are run down, but most of it is just boring houses that all look exacly the same, with well kept lawns, and neighborhoods that look like ones that you see on tv.it is possibly the most boring place on earth
weymouth is the most boring place on earth
