Convenient suburban living near downtown Lynn and Nahant Bay
Agganis AC is typically a quiet neighborhood, an unassuming community near Nahant Bay in central Lynn, Massachusetts. But on one fateful evening in 1966, when the Rolling Stones showed up to the neighborhood’s very own Manning Bowl to play the first gig of their North American summer tour, Agganis AC became the center of the rock and roll universe. The show was cut short when thunderstorms rolled through, and a melee broke out among the 17,000 fans in attendance, forcing the police to break up the crowd and causing Mick Jagger to vow never to return. Other notable performers have brought their talents to the Manning Bowl – Ray Charles, The Beach Boys and Aerosmith, to name a few – but The Rolling Stones have remained true to their word. Very few of Agganis AC’s 3,000 current residents were in attendance back in 1966, but much of the same neighborhood charm and historic architecture remain 50 years later. Independent grocers, markets and restaurants pepper the streets, and most homes were built no later than 1940. “Western Ave is the main road running through Lynn,” says Paul Atwood, a real estate salesperson with Return Realty Group. “The homes off Western Ave are older and more established, and the neighborhood reflects that history.”
