I'm looking at all these Salem sites in my pimping efforts and I'm falling in love with Salem all over again! It's a city! It's on the water! It's historical! It has great beer! There are big boats and old houses! It's easy commuting to Boston (seriously, it takes me 1 hour door to door for my commute, and that could be less if you work closer to North Station than I do.)
Siiigh... and summer in Salem is the best.

Did you miss the previous post re: We're there?
YAY! Meet us in our back yard, we'll have some cold beers in the garden.
Man, now *I* want to move to Salem! I could totally afford that house!
Mentioning houses made me do a little virtual shopping in Seattle again...
And I want this house: [link]
The very first thing I'd do is repaint it something less, um, monochromatic and minty, but I want this house. Too bad we're not shopping until 2009, and that's assuming the inheritance comes through at the level we currently expect...

Or, a house on my street! I'd babysit!

I want this house near where Jessica lives.
I can't afford it, though.
Get in on the tanking New England real estate market while you can!!!
Holy shit, Nora! I had no idea things were coming down that much in Salem. 200-300K was about the range I was thinking I could go for in the next year or so, but I was afraid I'd have to move significantly farther out (and probably off the train line).
Also, speaking of beer in Salem, have you checked out Gulu-Gulu Cafe yet? I haven't taken a close look at their selection (or even been inside) but from passing by it looks like they are definitely going for the exotic end of the beer spectrum.
