While it was not open to explore, it was still really cool to see the outside of where the movie was filmed - the Halloween party that Max and Dani's parents attend. If you're a fan like me, I highly recommend taking a quick photo outside! I hope to check out the inside next time we visit Salem!

So I now know the real goal of Andover Parking control, get as much money for Town hall has you…read morecan. The fine print on the paper receipt is the operator is responsible for the parking enforcement officer seeing the slip. If he does not see it, you pay a $20 fine. Your parking rules get more and more inconvenient and a receipt on my dash, not seen by the officer, and an extremely rude parking clerk, is too much. So Andover you got your $20 and a commitment for me that after 20 yrs of enjoying the downtown businesses I have had enough. So the $600 business for photos and album I was working on buying from Andover Photo (the reason we were parked) is going to an online company. Say good by to my purchases for Christmas, anniversary, birthday, and other gifts from Andover Gift shop, the shop next to Bertucci's, and Les Fleurs (~$1000/yr). Also say good by to our lunches at Bertucci's, and coffee at Starbucks. I know the loss of my business will not hurt these businesses, but then again, how many people will be reading my reviews in all these online review pages. and Facebook. So Andover, you do not follow your stated policy; Parking enforcement is provided in the central business district in order to maintain an acceptable turn-over rate in parking spaces. This allows more shoppers the ability to patronize local merchants. The ability to have frequent turnover in the parking spaces in the shopping and central business district assists in maintaining the vibrant down town area.

I recently moved to Andover. Greatly surprised to find inept practices with your road improvement…read moredivision. The river road re paving is badly done. The edges of the pavement dip down into the driveways of the homes along that road , creating a divet which in the inclement weather collects water and ice and creates a drainage probl em and a hazard. this past weekend a dividing white line was put down too close to the sidewalk ,making the lane to the right too narrow. Your town obviously has questionable services as well as no knowledge. I thought that my move to Andover would be a positive one. So far that isn't so. Having to live here I hope that things will improve greatly.

Groton is a quaint little town situated in the North-northeast section of Massachusetts. The…read moreAmerican Indians who lived here thousands of years ago called this area "Petapawag" meaning "swampy land" - and you'll notice when driving through that there are a lot of wetlands in the area. The town itself doesn't have much going on. You won't find any malls or movie theaters or McDonalds or a Stop & Shop. Storefronts are zoned to look old-timey. You'd never know the Citizens or Bank of America located downtown were banks, except for the small signs out front. The town hall is gorgeous. Looks small from the outside, but inside every department is clearly marked and everyone inside is very polite and helpful. Groton is a rich town - and their taxes certainly reflect this! Homes, even two-family homes, are zoned to look like one-family dwellings from the outside. This keeps the quaint nature of the town intact. When you mention Groton to people, they generally know if from one of two things: The Lawrence Acadamy, which is the most expensive private high school in America, or Gibbet Hill, which is known as an excellent restaurant in town. If you like nature, Groton is your place - there's a huge bike path through town (part of the old Boston & Maine railway) as well as many lakes and ponds and forest to explore. Groton has grown over the years, but knows to keep itself looking as it should instead of bursting at the seams with modern stores, etc.

Having grown up in Winchester, I always loved driving by the Town Hall because of how beautiful it…read moreis, but turns out its facade is the ONLY thing good about it. My fiancee and I attempted to go apply for our intent to marriage license. Online, all it said that we needed was our IDs and both of our presences at the Town Hall. I should know. I checked at least once a week for the past two months. So much was my surprise when we entered the entirely empty office and are told that it would take two whole weeks for them to process a single email and to make an appointment to complete the state application for a marriage license. Massachusetts already has a three day waiting period so we'd be SOL. The absolutely unhelpful clerks- all three of them- wouldn't look my fiancee and I in the eye as they turned us down. They couldn't help us, even though when we got there, they were gossiping like mean girls in a COMPLETELY EMPTY office. Mind you, every single town around us has the appointment requirement explicitly listed on their website. The whole experience was awful and the clerks were rude. DO NOT GO HERE.
