Right at Home Moves to Witch City


Jay and I returned from Paris and immediately got our crew together for our move to Salem, MA. Or should I say back to Salem. Before we moved to Marblehead, we rented a great apartment on Chestnut Street. Jay and I were married at the Hawthorne Hotel in 1996 and today I am on the Board of The Phoenix School on Margin Street.

After 5 years in Beverly, we had outgrown our space and really needed to find a place where our team could work with a little more elbow room. Our space was once for our home care aides to get schedules and pickup checks, now we use it for those things, plus family meetings and educational programs. Our new address is 19 Front Street in Salem. We occupy the entire third floor of the building.

As a longtime North Shore resident and former Salem resident, it is great to see the revitalization of the street. I have always loved walking downtown Salem. Our business neighbors include the Front Street Coffee House, J. Mode women's clothing store, Fiddleheads florist (beautiful stuff) and the ice cream parlor. Downtown Salem, though freaky at times, is a marvelous place to walk and browse. There are practical shops (clothing, jewelers) and businesses that survive on the magical and Halloween theme. The Peabody Essex Museum and their new remodel has been named one of the ten best museums in the US for children. I can attest that it is a great place to go to on a cold, New England weekend day with two antsy kids.

We are now settled in and our clients never even felt a bump in service (though we may have felt the bump of the printer breaking, etc) . Now we only need to deal with the parking tickets.....
