Northampton, MA: The Happiest Place on Earth?

As someone who spent many, many happy 36-hour periods in Northampton, Massachusetts during my college years (I had friends at Smith College, and fled from my New Haven pressure-cooker as often as possible), I enjoyed this article in the NY Times on what to do/see/eat in Northampton. Maybe Kate and I should go back there sometime for a visit; I don't think I did anything that would get me automatically thrown in jail. (But I better check out back issues of the Smith student newspaper on microfilm, just to be sure.)
