I have lived here (BTW, Tewksbury) for 19 years and I love it. Route 38 is the main road and traffic can be pretty grim but other than that it's great. You have fairly easy access to three major highways; 93, 95 and 495 and multiple train stations if you prefer that.

Also while the route 38 traffic gets backed up it's not THAT bad and it's backed up because there are places to go. Lots of nice little restaurants including the best donuts in the state at Donna's, couple of hardware stores (Aubuchon is a nice small one and there's a Home Depot also) and a truly great library.

Lastly, it's a short jump up the highway to the tax free Rockingham Mall in Salem, NH. Highly recommended.

You are pretty clearly paying for tv service. You have a box and remote and even if you want to keep the local TV stations (which is the $24.70) the $14.95 is probably an additional service (NESN?) that you should easily be able to cancel.

I would recommend getting FIOS or some other internet only service (Xfinity probably has one, I live Verizon better but either/or) and go streaming. Sling seems to be the best option for a non-sports fan.

I’ve got Constellation, had them for a few years now and I’ve had no issues. No excuse me while I knock on wood and find some salt to throw over my shoulder.

Krochmal Farms in Tewksbury does beef but I don't think they do poultry usually. They do have thanskgiving turkeys every year.
