Townie Tuesday: John Ryan Gallagher

Tuesday, June 29, 2010 | View Comments

He’s not dastardly like the 1980s TV villain and Texas oil baron J.R. Ewing of Dallas fame, with whom he shares an initialism. But J.R. Gallagher is delightfully devilish and a smidge irreverent—in a sweet kind of way. He’s also very funny, sincere, and comes across as a really good guy.

Newburyport Chamber of Commerce, Chamber Chat: June 24th, 2010

Thursday, June 24, 2010 | View Comments

I recently saw a sign in someone’s office that read “I love it here!” When I saw it I immediately thought of my adopted home and place of business and quickly said to myself what a great tag line! In full disclosure and with kudos to our neighbors to the north I must say that the tag line was for a State of New Hampshire tourism promotion. Well, I do love it here and I know that many of you do as well. What I love is that there is so much to do in our little neck of the woods; take a stroll in Maudslay State Park, take a lesson from Plum Island Kayak, pet one of the animals over at Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm, look for sea glass at the Salisbury State Reservation, roam around our many, quaint and welcoming shops, dine in one of our fabulous restaurants…not sure what to do? Stop by our office downtown and inquire or check out our web site as well. Here is a sampling of this week’s treats!

Revitalive Cafe “Live Food. Local Flavor”

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 | View Comments

In today’s health-conscious society, there are seemingly endless possibilities when it comes to choosing a diet and making food choices.  Here in the states, culturally-accepted models of healthy eating such as choosing organic items, going vegetarian, following the Mediterranean diet, and eating fewer carbohydrates are popular mainly due to their mainstream acceptance as “normal” lifestyle choices.  In Newburyport, Revitalive’s Health & Wellness center and nearby café offer the healthy consumer another, lesser-known choice: a raw, vegan, organic, gluten-free diet as well as detoxification services and raw food education classes.  If just hearing those words together in one sentence makes you feel overwhelmed or confused, you’re not alone.  Read on and see how I discovered that Revitalive’s wellness programs and raw-vegan diet are in fact simple, easy-to-follow, rooted in research…and delicious!
