Parking & The Salem Farmers' Market

The Salem Farmers' Market has been WILDLY successful. The farmers have served nearly 20,000 happy customers on Thursdays this summer. We are real localvores, because Nearly 1700 people came out on a rainy Thursday for their fresh tomatoes, monkey bread, and lettuce (among other things!).

Since the Farmers' Market is so popular, I would like to take a moment to mention parking in Salem. We have plenty of parking in Salem. Loads of spaces.

Click here for a downtown parking map.

The Farmers' Market is on Front Street at Old Town Hall. While there are two lots adjacent to the market, the lot at Riley Plaza (in front of the Post Office) and the garages (Museum Place and South Harbor) are 2 minute walks - okay, maybe 3 minutes - from the Market.

More than 100 downtown businesses are staying open late on Thursdays, so if you park at the South Harbor Garage, you may feel the pull into Cornerstone Books or Rouge Cosmetics on your way back to the car. If you park at the Museum Place garage, you may find yourself stopping at Rockafellas for a bite, or browsing clothing and accessories at Signatures. Either way, the shops at Front Street are all open, too, so grab an ice cream or check out just how hip you could be at J.Mode.

I'm lucky - I get to walk past the Market en route from my office to the garage. But, if I were going to drive into Salem for the Farmers' Market, I'd probably drive straight for the Museum Place garage. I know I'll get a spot quickly, and the time it takes to walk from the garage to the market would be easily spent circling impatiently for a spot in the Front Street lot next to Artist's Row.

Thanks to Salem Main Streets and its incredible Farmers' Market committee for making the Farmers Market not only a reality, but an incredibly successful one!

Witches Cup Bike Race on Wednesday

One of Salem's favorite perennial events returns on Wednesday!

The Witches Cup Bike Race will speed around Salem Common starting at 4:30 PM on August 12th. If you haven't seen a Criterium style bike race, I highly recommend coming to watch. It is fast-paced and exciting. The cycles move at a really incredible pace!

Here's a bit of race history and the race schedule from WitchesCup.com: In the cycling boom of the 1980's, Salem proudly hosted annual elite calibre bicycle races with national exposure. It's the goal of the Witches Cup organizers to revive the strong bicycle racing tradition in downtown Salem, Massachusetts. After a seven year lull, the Witches Cup under the direction of Salem-based promoters, returned in 2007.

The 2009 Witches Cup presents racing for both men and women at all levels.

This year is the 3rd year since the reincarnation of the Witches Cup and the 30th Anniversary of the original Witches Cup! This year will prove to be the biggest yet with a hospitality tent sponsored by Wachusett Brewing Company, racing for all levels, race winners jerseys provided by Primal Wear and equal prize money for the Men's and Women's races!

Be sure to Join us at the Wachusett Brewing Hospitality on Salem Common during the Race!

Here's the schedule:

• 4:00pm Course Inspection

• 4:45pm Amateur Men (Cat 4/5)

• 5:45pm Women (Cat 1-4)

• 6:10pm Amateur Men Awards

• 6:45pm Elite Men (P,1,2,3)

• 8:00pm Awards Ceremony: Women & Elite Men

It's a blast, you should check it out.

Please note the following road closures that will be in effect for the race:

• Route 1A from Winter Street to Essex Street and all streets connecting to the Salem Common will be closed to traffic from 4pm to 9pm.
• No Parking around the Common beginning at 3pm.
• Please seek seek alternate routes during this time.

Enjoy the race!

Another tall ship to visit Salem this summer

We really miss our tall ship Friendship, but I appreciate the National Park Service's efforts to bring visiting vessels to port. The Kalmar Nyckel's visit from Delaware during the Salem Maritime Festival was terrific. As a vessel, she provided us all with a comparason to the Friendshp - in size, mission, and history.

(I, for one, had no idea there was a 17th Century Sweedish settlement in Delaware that revolved around beaver pelts. I'm the first to admit, however, that I'm pretty Salem / Essex County centric in my historical knowledge.)

Last week, National Park Service announced the ship Peacemaker will be visiting during the Antique & Classic Boat Show at the end of August.

The 130', 400-ton Barquentine will be berthed on the historic Central Wharf (off Derby Street) from august 19 to 25. She will be open to the public for free tours August 20 to 24, 10 am to 7 pm on weekdays, and 10 am to 9 pm on the weekend during the Antique and Classic Boat Festival.

Peacemaker was originally built in 1989 in Brazil and intended as a charter vessel by a Brazilian industrialist. She was never completed, however, and in 2000 she was purchased by a community known as the Twelve Tribes. The Twelve Tribes community finished construction on the vessel, rigged her as a Barquentine, and in 2007 began sailing her as an experiment in communal living at sea.

Salem Businesses are Best of Boston, Best of North Shore

Boston Magazine showered praise and affection on a few deserving Salem business in their 2009 Best of Boston issue, as did North Shore Magazine in their annual Best of the North Shore (BONS) issue.

We are so excited to see our beloved businesses get this kind of attention! Did you have any idea there was so much to see, do, and eat in Salem!? Most of these winners are located in historic downtown Salem - the business district, if you will, so park your car and head out to explore!

Don't forget to congratulate our winners!

Boston Magazine - Best of Boston 2009

Rouge Cosmetics won Best Makeup (overall! Not just North!) The staff at Boston Magazine wrote this fabulous description of Rouge: Beauty Junkies can spend years perfecting their primping arsenals. If you’d prefer to skip beta-testing your makeup bag, though, let Rouge founder Ann Supple Massey do the work for you. A former cosmetis buyer at Filene’s, Massey vets every product with her staff, choosing only those deemed both innovative and effective. That makes for an appealing mix of old favorites (Nars, B. Kamins) and up-and-comers like Caudalie. Those who suffer from overstimulation at Sephora will appreciate Rouge’s manageable inventory and elegant interior, while cosmoholics love the staff’s exhaustive knowledge and occasional in-store appearances by beauty luminary Paula Dorf.

For the Best of the North, A& J King won in the Best Bakery category and the Peabody Essex Musem Shop won Best Gift Shop on the North Shore.

Here's how Boston Magazine described the PEM Shop: Even if the proceeds didn’t benefit Asian-art mecca the Peabody Essex Museum, we’d still spend like drunken Qing-dynasty mandarins here. There are all-occasion gifts like mariposa salad bowls alongside Far East-inspired finds both reverent (addictively collectible ‘netsukes’) and less so (pop-art trays printed with a bespectacled Pu Yi). Each new exhibit brings fresh goodies: Look for quirky jewelry and clothing to arrive this fall with “Rare Bird of Fashion”, showcasing style ican Iris Apfel.

Runner's Up included: Fringe Salon (Best Hair Salon), Sixty2 On Wharf (Best New Restaurant), and Downtown Salem (Best Shopping Spot). We are all very excited that Downtown Salem got the nod for Best Shopping! We know how great it is downtown - boutiques, wine shops, women's clothing, jewelry, and the fabulous Farmer's Market on Thursdays.

Locally, Northshore Magazine has announced their BONS awards, and Salem did well on this front, too!
