Got Nothing

So, Acushnet Avenue is listed as one of only eleven attractions in New Bedford on Trip Advisor. This man was as shocked as I was, but a tad more wordy with his emotions:

"Are you kidding me? Acushnet avenue is about two miles of "we ain't got nuthin' to offer'. It's usually referred to by locals as simply 'The Avenue' which I believe is Latin for "Dump". The Avenue is frequented by drug users, prostitutes, homeless, and punk kids with nothing better to do then drive up and down the strip endlessly through all hours of the day and night. The city doesn't have enough police to monitor the area and frankly The Avenue is a pimple on Massachusetts' you-know-what. Granted there are a few good stores along the route, but it doesn't outweigh the trouble and filth. There are a couple of dress shops, bakeries and restaurants, but what major street in America doesn't have those things. There is nothing special about Acushnet Avenue, unless you're looking to get mugged." {posted by NobodyMan on September 11, 2008}

What's your experience -if any- of Acushnet Avenue?I never viewed it as a place to visit -there are a few good bakeries, but it's more like a road to drive on from one place to another.
