Bostonian born & raised, never heard spa. Feels like an obscure thing WGBH wrote about, and looking at the article, appears it's mostly historical now.
We do call our liquor stores "packies," though, which comes from package store. :)
- technothrasher 7y agoAgreed, I've spent my whole life in the Boston area and never heard it called a spa. But water fountains are "bubblas" and those things you put on your ice cream are "jimmies". But now that I think about it, I grew up in a town that, at least forty years ago was rural. The local shop was simply referred to as, "Clyde's" after the man who owned it.
