    "I feel like Taunton is essentially located. It's very easy to get in any direction you're going whether you're going to Rhode Island Boston the south shore 44 can take you all the way to Plymouth, which is what I do 140 in New Bedford 495 is right there there as well as Route 24 and they have public transit that runs so different plazas for people without cars so you can get around the city and pretty soon. The commuter will be here and that will open up a whole Newmarket for Taunton."
