- Salem resident Amadu Kunateh recently returned from Johannesburg, South Africa, with the New England Revolution youth development program. "My trip with the Revolution to South Africa was the best experience that I have ever had," Kunateh said. "It was a great cultural and soccer experience. On the field, playing teams from all over the world was a tremendous self-evaluation key. It was truly amazing to see how you match up with other talents and aspiring footballers like you, from around the world. It was by far the best competition that I have played, and I have no doubt that it will prove vital to my development as a soccer player." Congratulations Amadu! We're glad you enjoyed the trip.
- We enjoyed discovering Leslie's Retreat yesterday. What a great little oasis on North Street. Check the homepage now for our story on the restaurant's two Easter-appropriate residents that live in the outdoor area of the property.
