Personally, all the businesses catering to women's comforts (yet another high end chocolate shop has opened and there is now 1 sushi bar for every 4327 residents) is neither an attraction nor a drawback to me. Actually, all the visitors on the weekend is the biggest drawback generally, so I suppose I should mention that it is a horrible place to visit and the Paradise City Crap Fair is a huge rip-off this weekend.
Don't ever come. OK, you can come see the statue of Sojourner Truth they just erected here but then leave immediately.

"In 1842, members of the Northampton Association of Education and Industry
established a utopian community organized around a communally owned and operated
silk mill. Those who were drawn to this community sought to challenge the
prevailing social attitudes of their day by creating a society in which 'the
rights of all are equal without distinction of sex, color or condition, sect
or religion.' They were especially united around the issue of the abolition
of slavery."
