GLOUCESTER – After Lulu Birds Kitchen closes for the night, new owner Dave Coleman will sit in one of the chairs in the 68-seat dining room.

However, it’s not to rest after a long day’s work.

“I sit in a new chair every day just to see what each guest is experiencing,” he said. “Food? I know I can handle that. But are they sitting in a chair that’s wobbly? Or is it too cold? Or is there a vent blowing on them? I know that might sound crazy.”

His staff often gives him odd glances as he’s examining everything long after the last patron has been fed. He’s used to it.

“I just want to make sure everything is perfect,” he said. “People are paying good money to be here for the experience, not just food. So, I’m a little nutty when it comes to that.”

The New Local News Model

On July 1, we started a new way to pay for news. Yes, we want you to subscribe, but we know nobody subscribes to every site they visit just because there’s a paywall.

So if you don’t want to subscribe (even at the low price of $39.99 for a year), you can pay for access to individual articles. Or just buy a 24-hour pass, as if you were buying a single copy of a newspaper. We use a new payment service called Transact, which lets you pay for individual articles in as little as three seconds. And you will get $3 in credit when you sign up (just an email address, no credit card required), which will let you pay for at least 20 articles.

This is new for everyone, so we’re going to ease you into this. Initially, there won’t be many articles that you have to pay for. Short ones will always be free. And even the longer stories will let you read the first half or so for free. We’d love to hear what you think, so send us a note at [email protected].
