I live in the Happy Valley. This New England region, also known as the Pioneer Valley, is a liberal bastion pocketed with some of the best universities in the nation. Here, Black Lives Matter signs blossom on front lawns, and Gay Pride Flags swing from front porches.
I also live in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Holyoke is a city in the Happy Valley. It is a bike ride away from Mount Holyoke College and a bus ride from Smith College, two left-leaning schools that pride themselves on their progressive education. Even closer than Smith College is the University of Massachusetts and Amherst College.
