    Whitman, Massachusetts

    Whitman is a town in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 14,489 at the 2010 census. It is notable as being the place where the chocolate chip cookie was invented.

    History

    Whitman was first settled by Europeans in 1670 and was officially incorporated in 1875. Prior to becoming Whitman, it was formally the southern parish of the town of Abington. The new name, Whitman, was taken from Augustus Whitman, whose family who grew up in South Abington, and was adopted in 1886. Though before adopting the name Whitman, the small town was known as Little Comfort.

    Whitman has a rich history that is deeply rooted in the shoemaking industry. Regal Shoe and Bostonian Shoe are perhaps the most notable. At one time there were over 20 shoe factories and related factories making metal shanks in town. There are a few abandoned factories left, and some have been turned into condominiums.

    In the late 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield invented chocolate chip cookies in Whitman at the Toll House Inn on Bedford Street. The Toll House burned completely on New Year's Eve 1984, in a fire that originated in the kitchen. The inn was not rebuilt. The site is marked with a historical marker, and that land is now home to a Wendy's restaurant and Walgreens pharmacy, with the Toll House sign still in existence. The former Whitman Savings Bank was also the first in the country to offer savings bank life insurance (SBLI). Whitman is the home of the famous Peaceful Meadows Ice Cream, as well as the former home of Saftler's Inc., one of the oldest and largest independently owned fabric stores in the country, which closed in June 2011. In 1964 The Venus Cafe was founded by former professional wrestler Peter Drosos, who fought under the name Pete "The Golden Greek".

    The Big Crash

    by: Eddie Money

    Well she`s always been a good good girl
    But she`s always lived in her own world
    Stealing makeup from her mommy`s purse
    And her mother said it only got worse
    Well she ran with kids much older
    She did all the things they told her to do
    Doin` crazy things because they were in
    (chorus)
    Now she's heading for the big crash
    She`s running with the white trash
    The girl is moving too fast
    She`s heading for the big crash
    The big crash, the big crash
    Well I wish she`d listen to me
    And I`d tell her `bout the things that she doesn`t see
    Tell her now before it gets too late
    That she`s heading for the big crash
    (chorus)
    She thinks that she`s all grown up now
    She thinks that she`s cool enough now
    When will she realize that they`re cutting her down to size
    The big crash
    The girls moving too fast-heading for the big crash
    Goin` places where she shouldn`t have been
    Doin` crazy things because they were in
