Open Houses for the Coming Weekend
We ventured South this weekend and found a great Irish brunch in Salem, at O’Neill’s pub. The place was nearly empty (except for a particularly beautiful Irish lass and a big family getting ready to go to a First Communion), the Bloody Marys spicy, and the Irish Breakfast one of the best I’ve ever had. And by that I mean better than The Druid of olde Inman Square, before they painted the venerable whiskey-stained planks pink.
(I wonder how many of the folks who’ve bitterly lamented the end of rent control and Cambridge’s yuppi-fication would grow nostalgic in Salem?)
Then, check out the gorgeous historical condo at 11 Williams St. #1, open from 12:30-2 on Sunday the 11th. 1100 Square feet for less than $280k. Eye candy for antiquey types.
7 Daniels St. # 1 and #2 are open from 12-3 on Sunday. Very convenient neighborhood, very reasonably priced compared to the same type places for $600k + plus down Boston way.
From 1-3 visit 165 Federal Street #2. Great architectural details inside this restored 1766 beauty!

Nice condos. What’s with the squirrel? Weird but it made me laugh.

I was looking for a picture of O’Neill’s, but there was nothing good out there. So I tried searching for images of “Guinness” and found the Guinness-drinkin’ squirrel. Just stay away from him when he’s into the whiskey; he gets mean.
(It could also have something to do with the mindset that lead me to go out and drink far too much Guinness last night.)
