is doing an amazing-sounding renovation, returning to the original paint colors. I'll post the description from their newsletter below (sorry, no pictures), along with the details for a tour of an old Salem farm, but encourage folks to check out the newsletter themselves: they are hosting many of their book and poetry groups online now (I'm planning on checking out the Incessant Pipe Poetry Salon).
