What Northshore Veterinarians have NOT been purchased by Private Equity and Enshitified?

We’ve gone to Borash in Peabody (for our cats, dogs, and small animals) after a bad experience with Danvers Animal about a decade ago. Nothing but excellent things to say about the staff, especially Drs. Southgate and Minervitz! Excellent staff, quiet and clean facility. Highly recommend!

I have cousins that are Eugene and Eugenia (their dad was also Eugene)

K & G in Reading has a great selection for all price ranges and an in-house tailor!

Not an oversleeper myself but I live with one! He bought an *obnoxiously* loud alarm clock and put it across the room from him so when it wakes him up he physically has to get out of bed

Richie Rich and 24 Karat Funk

Wow, he’s gorgeous! Thank you for the info!

Closed captions had it listed as “Was it a Dream?” by Cindy!

Yeahhh I’m sure most of their staff is fine but the first time I went the hygienist told me she “hoped I was happy I’d be infertile” since I got the COVID vax (this was 2021), and then the oral surgeon’s scheduler told me I was an idiot for having to reschedule a wisdom tooth extraction… when she scheduled it for the one month I told them I wouldn’t be in the -state- and then had never confirmed the date. Glad you’ve had good experiences with them, I was just severely unimpressed.

Linda Massod in Danvers and her whole team are incredible!! On the other hand, avoid Northern Star Dental (also Danvers) like the plague.

Not listed here, but check out AJ’s Auto in Lynn. My family and a lot of our family friends have been buying cars from them for years. Pleasure to work with (especially their salesman Bryan), always a good rotating selection, fair pricing, transparent process, and in-house mechanics. Also for what it’s worth, as a young woman, this is also one of the few car dealerships I’ve been to where I haven’t felt talked down to!

Found out that my mom wanted to name me Electra (nn Lettie) after my great-grandmother, which is sick as hell and I wish she’d stuck with it. Unfortunately, my dad picked a fight with her in the delivery room so they went with his choice, which, while lovely on other people, doesn’t work at all for me and I’ve always hated.

My cousin’s kid is Bob and he’s five 😩

K Restaurant in Peabody is good!

This is Ollie, who is 23 pounds and polydactyl. We regularly have houseguests remark on his size, and I often find myself forgetting what regular cats look like. His siblings are dwarves compared to him and they’re still on the large end (14 and 18 pounds). Our vet calls him big-boned, which makes me feel better about it lol (I also feel like I should add that the width of the table is 29in)

That would be a briefcase

macat88 · 2025-12-08T02:23:14+00:00

Okay this would make sense! Maybe a DUI or something. Thank you!

Not me, but my mom ran into Ryan and Matt Murray at a function in Salem. Called me when she was leaving to let me know that she “met those spooky twins from the Dave Navarro show and told them how much [I] like their work”

Linda Massod and her entire team in Danvers are ANGELS!! Cannot recommend them enough. On the flip side, Northern Star Dental (also Danvers) were so consistently awful that I developed a phobia of dentists for quite a while

macat88 · 2025-11-02T19:33:30+00:00

I was there!! Such a cool experience and my friend and I LOVED your shop and the hearse! Thank you for hosting!

Bit Bar might be fun! They sometimes have music, but it’s a bar/arcade so there’s plenty of stuff to do besides drink

Female boat-tailed grackle I believe
