A lot of those touristy places only stay in business because of the money they make during October. Anyone who visits Salem should go to the Peabody-Essex museum. It’s excellent.
I loved living there. It’s kind of a small version of a big city. Just stay away during the month of October, it’s insane.
I lived in Beverly for a few years. Spot in about October. Ew.
I used to walk across the bridge to a little bar and get lobster. They would steam 2 one pounders for like $13. I’m pretty sure the person who owned the bar had a lobster boat right in the bay.
I miss the music scene I was involved in too.

Beverly is pretty nice. There is (or was) a place there that had reasonably decent cheesesteaks and hoagies. They called them something else of course, but they weren't bad at all. I lived in the big apartment complex in Salem that's right across that bridge. Used to ride my bike up to Gloucester and back. The North Shore is really nice.

I think Drysdale willl get his chances, when he returns. But his leash will be short...if he cannot earn his spot on the starting roster, there is no downside for the Flyers to scratch or demote him. He is quite simply next year's version of Frost this year...demonstrate what you can do, and we'll decide if you are more valuable as trade bait, or a cost- and term-controlled next contract...or nothing.

I went to Salem around July 4th a handful of years ago — stopover from Boston to Portland — and I had to steer my family away from the tourist trap witch stuff (mostly succeeded). I enjoyed visiting the empty Salem Customs House (chatting up a bored NPS worker) and the House of the Seven Gables, having read Hawthorne. The main drag is what it is, but it got quaint a pretty short walk away. I very much liked that part.
We did a lot of the touristy stuff. I'd never been there, and Kitten wanted to hit a bunch of things she did when she went there quite a few years ago. Some I'd never do again, but there was some informative things I wasn't expecting. House of the Seven Gables was a nice bit of history. I enjoyed that.

Yes, the Essex museum is legit. That was nice. There's a pirate museum we wanted to do which was closed, but almost across the street was another one. The place seemed newer, and the whole museum was about a particular shipwreck found off Cape Cod. Just about everything they had on display was from that wreck including cannons.

One thing we totally didn't plan for or have a clue about was that apparently, the town starts their "Santa through the streets on a firetruck" with Santa getting taken down from the roof of our hotel by the rescue ladder lol.

He has to go on waivers to get demoted. It's not happening.
