Hey Val, Where in Where in MA are ya? Haverhill was home for me Methuen's my current hometown but I have in-laws in Haverhill that live across 110 from the ball fields near Hale Hospital. My one and only sister lives in Derry off 28 (not bypass 28) near Parkland Medical Center. waiting for these crazy real estate prices to drop a bit HA!!HA!!HA!! You'll have a long wait. Real estate prices in this area have been crazy since '95 and no end in sight. My advice is buy as soon as possible and hope the soothsayers are right & there is no recession in the near future & 6 months from now your property value will increase by 10%. and my calandar is marked for the Pig and Pepper Fest in Westford (10/6 and 10/7 :) Never been to a Hotluck but it sounds like fun/is that Westford MA? More info please. Well the same offer to Byron is extended to you, If you ain't got enough in your garden I'll be happy to share what's in mine. 3:05 AM & done for the nite' Paul (The NorthEast ChileMan)
