Once upon a time before the delivery app prices got all fucked up MacDonalds used to actually be affordable me and my friend used to get the deals (it was like Family Bundle™ for the price of a regular meal deal) for a MacDonalds that was literally idk 5 minutes walk away? It was literally just at the end of the road and then had to cross nonantum street

I have seen it in person too after first only seeing pictures, where I thought it looked like shit. My feeling is that it will look better to everyone when the weather is sunnier, we have later sunsets, the park is greener, etc. It is not great, but it's not as awful as everyone makes it out to be.

I don’t see why people hate it at any angle to be honest. Is it my favorite piece of art? No at all. But, for a public park, you want something that’s not too bold because people’s taste in art varies so much and you want to aim for it to be acceptable to most. I’m still confused why it’s not. It fits right in with public park art, in my opinion.

While in general this is true, there is one hotel I know of right in downtown Beverly. The Cabot Lodge right on Cabot St, it's only about a block from the theater.

It's $141 for the night this Wednesday so if I were OP I'd probably just do that. The Salem hotels look to all be around that price or more anyways, so might as well save the need for the uber ride.
