Tom and I are quite fond of the Gulu-Gulu. Good place for lunch. Has fancy coffee, good beer, and really good hummus. It's hipster waitstaff service, so you shouldn't be in a rush or anything. I like the space, too.
Good to know. And OMG, I was just checking their web-site again, and they have Ommegang 3 Philosophers! Love! I'm also intrigued by the Ommegang Hennepin they have on draft.
Wow, Salem is cheap!
This is a recent development. I really thought I was going to be priced out of the area when I bought, but now, maybe not. I also wonder if Beverly is experiencing a similar downturn.

That scarf-y thing would look MARVELOUS on top of my piano.

Where is this Gulu-Gulu? I grew up next to Salem in Peabody, and my parents still live there. Knowing of a good coffee shop to flee to while staying at my parents for family related torture would be useful...

I'd say it's right in front of the Samantha/Bewitched statue, but I'm not sure if you'd know where that is. In any case, Essex street at the intersection of Washington (I think) where the next section of the street is a pedestrian only area.
Speaking of the Pope, I still grin whenever I think about the fact that my rental gear will spend two weeks on the plaza of the LA Cathedral for Shakespeare Festival again this summer. Why do I grin you ask? Funny you should, it's because it has "Diablo Sound" all over the road cases.
But I do think it would be fun to live there.
It is! It would! Look at the cool stuff we have!
The local bakery
The breakfast joint that serves great food cheap and where Revolutionary Patriots plotted off coffee!
Cute period hotel that has a cozy pub!
A replica of a 1797 three-masted Salem East Indiaman big ass boat!
Cobblestone streets! Beautifully preserved Federal style architecture! Awesome museum!
Ahem. I'll stop now.
they have Ommegang 3 Philosophers! Love!
3 Philosophers is *excellent*!
I'm also intrigued by the Ommegang Hennepin they have on draft.
The Hennepin is really good, too, but I like it in warmer weather.

But basically, Ommegang can do no wrong.
So, the strap on the shoes I was wearing broke. Fixable, but as there also was a hole in the sole, I gave them up for ghost. So, I went out at lunch and bought these Sugar, right?
Vortex, what color? That blue? I like the blue AND the red!
