Hi Edy: Your post made me think of my younger days.  In the early 90's I use to rep for a California bank who had a regional office in Salem MA.  I kept an apartment there as I had to be "in town" 1-2 days per week.  You haven't celebrated Halloween until you have done it in Salem - those people are nuts!
