Grazie in Dracut. Copper Door or Trattoria Amalfi in Salem.

I live in dracut and we have used https://www.georgoulisroofing.com/ twice. They are local, responsive and reasonable. At least they were for me.

Make an in person appointment at the RMV or AAA to renew if you can. You can try calling the RMV for assistance but that may be a long hold.

I've worked with the homeless for 7 years in the Merrimack Valley and many, many restaurants and hotels refuse to give leftover food to the homeless because of fear of legal action. The company I work at has a large cafeteria and homeless camping just off property and the company/cafe refuses to donate leftovers because of fear of legal action. If they can't be sued then that word needs to get out.

Where are they located and how far do they want to drive?

My windshield was shattered this morning by a box truck that shed a piece of ice at 65 mph. Totally sucks.

Are you sure about that? I thought your statement only applies in a Stand Your Ground state? Pretty sure I recall incidents where home invaders in MA have sued the home owners successfully for injuries they incurred when the homeowner beat them out of the house. FWIW, I'm no lawyer so I'm not challenging you. Just questioning.

Global cooling would be far more devastating than global warming. We can adapt to the heat. Cold is life ending. Life thrives in warmer climates. Nothing grows and few animals live in extreme cold.

There is a pond in Pelham, NH with a well marked nature trail off Sherburne Road with a few beaver dams.

The Eagle Festival is next week and Salisbury and Newburyport are nice places to visit and walk the town or beaches https://www.massaudubon.org/get-outdoors/wildlife-sanctuaries/joppa-flats/programs-classes-activities/go-birding/the-merrimack-river-eagle-festival

All the more reason to take that loan then.

Where are all those people from a week ago saying how much they missed the cold?

People downvoting a joke have no sense of humor.

I use to always get Cambridge and Woburn and appealed for lowell. My appeal was granted every time (3 so far). I don't mind serving but would prefer it be convenient especially if you get called to serve and it's a multi day trial.

I think it coincides with the secularization of holidays and transitioning of these events s into major shopping days. If we are going to commercialize everything then no day is special when every day is an opportunity for corporate wealth. In the end, all workers will pay for a secularized society.

You are allowed to sleep in Walmart parking lots

If you are that concerned about it then you should report yourself to the police in the town where it occurred. If no one files a report... not guilty. If they filed a report... you are doing the right thing. If they file a report and someone turns you in... welp...

Be careful what you ask for. It wasn't all that long ago that after nearly a snowless winter, every Sunday and Wednesday brought a new blizzard and roofs were collapsing and roads unnavigable because of high snowbanks. It is still early. Winter is coming.

Check the IVECCS, Blue Pearl or Ethos sites for nearby locations or just call a local vet in that area and ask them. Most would be willing to share.

Aside from the Common Man and Cotton there is also FireFly in Manchester, Angelo's in Stoneham, Luna Rosa Tewksbury, The Irish Cottage and the Fireside in Methuen, Andiamo and the Chateau in Andover, The Copper Door in Salem (the nicer version of The Common man - same ownership), Blackwater Grill in Salem, The Coach Restaurant in Londonderry (may also be same ownership as Common Man)

That commute would suck. 128 is only 2 lanes and it is slow all the time from 93 up. It's a nice town but you will always have traffic to deal with.

The leaves and the wind always wait until the day after you're "done".

Maybe checkout out the Nauset Beach Inn in Orleans. Ocean view with every room https://www.nausetbeachinn.com/ I think its around $150 per night this time of year.

What does she value? Nightlife, restaurants, access to walking trails, tax free shopping, single life, family friendly? Dracut, like any other town is a lot of things. It is also not a lot of things. Hard to share relevant thoughts without knowing what she is looking for. It has an active Facebook book page. She should check it out.
