Man, now *I* want to move to Salem! I could totally afford that house!
Or, a house on my street! I'd babysit!
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Holy shit, Nora! I had no idea things were coming down that much in Salem. 200-300K was about the range I was thinking I could go for in the next year or so, but I was afraid I'd have to move significantly farther out (and probably off the train line).
Also, speaking of beer in Salem, have you checked out Gulu-Gulu Cafe yet? I haven't taken a close look at their selection (or even been inside) but from passing by it looks like they are definitely going for the exotic end of the beer spectrum.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I want this house near where Jessica lives.
Oh man that's pretty. But I'm pretty sure it's too far east for the school district I want to be in. (And also, you know, $1.7 million. Details...)
[eta: This one, on the other hand, has a wine cellar! And is closer to the park! OMGWANT. Anyone got $2.5m they could lend me? I'd let you use the billiard room...]

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.

Seriously, everyone buy homes in Salem! Let my loss be your gain!
Signed, we will never, ever move.

Do you know that ita has been looking for those for a really long time?
I do. Heck, given that the inside of the toes is worn down to metal on these, she's not the only one hunting.
Wow, Salem is cheap!

It really is... and I think there's so much value, as well, with the local businesses, historic neighborhoods and access to public transportation.

Seattle doesn't look all that expensive from where I'm sitting in DC (which looks cheap compared to Berkeley).
Here's a picture of the Pope on campus: [link]
Okay, so it is the cardboard cut out they have in the gift shop of the Basilica. If I were an undergraduate here, I'd be plotting how to steal it and what to do with it once I had it.
