Can anybody tell me about the Plymouth, Mass area?

[NewJeffCT]

My wife has a company that seems to be aggressively interested in her that is located in Plymouth, Mass.

However, it would involve relocation from the Hartford, CT area, meaning that I would have to find a job as well.

Mapquest has it as a little over 40 miles from Bahstin, I think. However, I know traffic can be nastier than Tom DeLay around the big city. Is Plymouth a reasonable commute to Boston?

What areas around Plymouth are good for a young family with a daughter that will be hitting preschool age soon? (My wife wants a town with very good public schools...)

Any other info?

Thanks

1. I was born and raised there.

I haven't been there in a few years, but it was a great town. Sure, the tourists can get to you, and trying to get anywhere that's a Cape highway is impossible on the weekends.

I lived in Middleborough and Lakeville (towns next to Plymouth) and they have good schools. I spent most of my childhood in Manomet, which is excellent.

Traffic to Boston? Eh, public transportation will get you to Braintree where you can hop the T (rail) into Boston.

Hope that helps.
