Considering relocating to Mass in the next year with my 172. [That's going to be a lot of trips, ba-dum tss.] How are Taunton and Mansfield as far as hangar and mechanic availability and general GA energy level for a piston single? Any other airports with a good "scene" I should be looking near? I probably can't afford Beverly, but how is Lawrence?

Lawrence is convenient, not sure about the scene. I have trained out of Bedford and Nashua. Both are busy class Ds
Nashua has a very active community, lots of clubs
Did my PPL training in Mansfield, which is a fairly busy GA airport (especially with the restaurant on field). There are a lot of really interesting places to fly to in the summer, like Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket, or go up to New Hampshire/Vermont in the winter. Not too sure about hangar and mechanic availability, as I don't own a plane, but have heard that it's doable.
28M all day!
I work there and trained there, my boss is the owner. Pm me if you want more info but look into Eagle East Aviation
