Do we know what's going there?

This tidbit is interesting. In the Daily News' building permits list:

253 Low Street Redevelopment LLC/Great Woods Post & Beam, 255 Low St., install a foundation for a new office building, $23,000 

Just behind the lot lies the Woodman property that may or may not be part of a CVS deal. This lot, which I believe had been up for sale for some time, could have served as a point of entry (or second point of entry) for any CVS project.

Welcome Baack

Glad to read the confirmation of a rumor in today's Globe. Cathy's Kitchen is coming north to take over Fowle's.

And the sign is staying.

Win-win.

Speaking as a patron to many downtown eateries and a semi-frequent visitor to Cathy's I offer this bit of advice ...

 Look hard at your coffee, make sure it measures up. It could make all the difference in the world.

Good luck.

Cathy's Kitchen at Fowle's

For a blogger, I actually don't hear many rumors. I hadn't heard this one until Friday, and by then it was supposedly "all over town."

Anyway, we're big fans of Cathy's and it would be make a great addition to the downtown.

I just hope Newburyport Development's plans call for keeping the iconic Fowle's sign, which gives our 18th/19th Century recreation a bit of legitimacy by layering on distinct 20th Century focal point.

Plus, we'd have to change all those post cards.
