I am from western MA, USA. Other than outside of government buildings, I can't recall when the last time I saw a flag was. Occasional flag bumper stickers are a thing, but actual, flying flags? Not really.
Literally every single overpass in MA has a flag on both sides. I think you're just so used to them being everywhere that you tune them out. My partner is from MA, but we live in Canada now. They had never noticed until I started pointing it out. Now when we're south of the border they realize how omnipresent they are.
I think your Western MA is different from the Western MA I know. Lots of flags outside of homes.
