Peabody

Covanta Energy has teamed up with TARTECH out of Germany on some innovative technology to reclaim recyclable metals from ash. So where did they create the largest facility of its kind in the world? In Peabody, of course. Down the road in Centennial Industrial Park, some key tenants are moving in and there's some major development on the horizon for Peabody Square. Meanwhile, however, both Stonewood Tavern and Oliveira's Steak House are in hot water with the city.

Salem

The highly-anticipated Turner's Seafood Grill & Market opens Nov. 18, meanwhile take a look around Salem's FiveHands Curiosity Shoppe. And in news of a different sort, there was a brouhaha recently over a local psychic studio accused of taking $16,000 to remove a curse. There are also some new shops slated for Traders Way.

Beverly

No official decision yet on a land swap on Brimbal Avenue between the state and a private developer -- the overall project has generated a lot of controversy -- but that's not stopping Whole Foods from signing a lease to open a new store at the would-be shopping plaza. In other news, the new mayor of pizza in Beverly is Freeda's Pizza and Calzone.

Irresistibles is moving along to a new location downtown after 30 years at 50 Atlantic Ave., but don't worry, it's not going too far.
