1. Market Basket
Wow! All I can say is wow.

2. Shyer's Lobster Pounds Inc
I can not believe I am the 1st to review Shyer's. Hello.

Friendly, guy. Small business and owner run.
Looks like I will be a repeat…More »
4. Blue House Family Pizza & Roast Beef
All I can say is "Wow". Huge roast beef subs that a large can feed 3 guys easy.
The meat is thin and delicious. Piled super thick and the sauce is sweet, spicy & tangy. Just right.

Men's clothing selection is kind of…More »
6. T-BONES Great American Eatery
Dear T-Bones,
Last night you pissed me off. We were having a good night, good food, drink, and mindset.
The Sox were playing, so beers on draft were $2.69 pint! Awesome!
I go to order another round, and discover that the prices has now doubled since…More »

7. Royal Tree Service
A recent violent storm threw my neighbor's tree into my house and onto my roof, thus making a big hole.
The next morning, I called Royal Tree and in about 1 hour, Sean and his crew were here checking it out and started sawing it up.

8. Ashley Furniture Homestore
Well the Ashely tech showed up on time and they communicated well.
Again the issue is the quality. As it turned out, my nice leather sofa is not as good quality as I thought.
She replaced the leather and she told us that this most likely will happen…More »

13. Target Stores
This Taget is undergoing a major renovation.
Not sure why, as it looked new and all good to me.
Corporate spending out of control.

15. Salem Nh Flea Market Inc
Salem, NH 03079
(603) 893-8888
Not the best of the flea market that I have been too. They have outdoor vendor tables that care kinda crappy. A huge in doors is more junk and stuff you don't need.

18. Sugar & Spice Bake Shoppe
I now get "special occasion" cakes often here. They are so good and the best in the area really.
The owner guy can bake no question about that.
I know his people skills are not the best but hell he sure can bake.

This is a crappy little Walgreens. It is very small and cramped and always appears to be messy and disorganized.
The only thing going for it is it's location, which is steps away from the busiest Market Basket around.
I rarely go in, unless I am…More »
27. Salem Town Forest
