Edgemere Diner finally available

image Shrewsbury, MA -- After more than a decade under the yoke of inhibitive short-term leases, the [b]Edgemere Diner[/b] may finally land in good hands if the town can find them. The Worcester Telegram reports that Shrewsbury, which currently owns the diner after a tax seizure in 1995, will now consider a long-term lease or will possibly sell it to someone who can move it away. If interested, call Dan Morgado, Town Manager, at 508-841-8508 or email him at [email] This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

    Another site upgrade

      Visitors will notice some subtle changes to the site since Monday night. Because the upgrade and redesign that I implemented last November didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped, I opted to start from scratch instead. Two months later, the site looks pretty solid so far, and had the added bonus of a new, easier-to-use system for our Riding Shotgun bloggers. 

      We hope that you can now use the site without any further technical issues. If you do, by all means, write me immediately and let This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
