[edit] The Adamses
The Adamses were from Quincy, which I do not believe is part of the Irish Riviera, despite being on the coast south of Boston. It's too working-class, despite the fact that many from Southie and Dorchester settled there.

[edit] Plymouth - Cape Cod Bay
Plymouth is not actually part of the South Shore of Massachusetts Bay. It is the West Shore of Cape Cod Bay and its Geography makes it part of Cape Cod. Just a thought.Leftshore 14:01, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Can't say that I have ever heard of Plymouth referred to as part of Cape Cod, nor have I ever heard the term "West Shore". 151.203.29.117 14:18, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Parts of Plymouth are definitely considered to be part of Cape Cod - especially Manomet/Cedarville/Ellisville. "West Shore" sounds like some sort of a joke or a prank. --AStanhope 03:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Geographically, I'd assume he's correct, but that's probably too technical for something that's informally and inexactly used. I might live in the Merrimack Valley so I don't know exactly what I'm talking about, but I've always considered Plymouth to be South Shore. Plymouth geographically must be on Cape Cod Bay (I'd need a current chart I guess to know for sure...), not Mass Bay. In this article, being on Mass Bay is the definition of the South Shore. So, as silly as it sounds, that'd make Plymouth geographically West Shore - Just a term nobody ever gave any meaning to. CSZero 22:28, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Cape Cod Bay is (under some definitions) part of Massachusetts Bay. AJD 04:35, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
