It’s amazing to me how many drivers will try to straddle the entire speed bump by driving in the middle of the street. Feels like that kind of behavior is also unsafe and illegal… but maybe that’s just me.

Anyway, please stop doing that.

I made a post on here recently asking about where to find friends and saw that a lot of people here are also struggling with making friends. I thought it would be worth a shot seeing if anyone here would want to be my friend. I've tried making friends in person, but I haven't had much success.

I'm 21m and I live near salem. Some of my hobbies include hiking, going to the movies, video games, concerts, arts and crafts, and lots more. I'm mainly just looking for someone to hangout with regularly, and I'm open to trying just about anything together. If anyone else is struggling with this too, I hope to hear back from you❤️

What's with all the RV's that keep stacking up in the back of the chefs store parking lot? Are they allowed to be there now or something? Could've sworn there was signs saying they'd get towed. The group just keeps getting bigger and bigger and they're almost all the way up to the front of the parking lot now. Right now they're blocking the drive path with one of their trucks. Full on perpendicular to the drive path and are just in the way with their big ass trailers. Lowkey annoying.

Get these and more tonight at the Easy Otter, 5-9PM!

Did it go out of business? No more sign and it looks like a bunch of the used cars are gone from the lot. I used to bring my car to Leroy there.

Why is the train horn going off for so long? Are folks on the tracks?

Anybody know any good buffets that are not Asian in or around Salem? We love the Asian buffets but I’m looking for something different

South Gateway Neighbors is hosting an information night on emergency preparedness and general safety. We'll be having Joe Hutchinson, Salem's emergency manager, give a presentation and answer your questions. This will be at 6 pm, October 28, at Baxter Hill Community Hall.

You don't need to live in South Gateway to attend! This information is important for everyone in Salem. We will try to have this on Zoom as well, though we encourage you to attend in person because we often have audio difficulties. As of now, we're planning to use our monthly meeting link, which can be found in our agenda, but this may be subject to change.

Parking at the hall is limited, so you will probably need to park in the church parking lot. We've had occasional confusion about which building is the right one due to some strangeness with the address number. The building says Baxter Hill Community Hall when viewed from the street. It is up some stairs from the church parking lot.

For those brave enough to cross the river, Thursday night will be the ideal start to the Halloween weekend.

Also, wondering what this year's "Joker" (overdone costume) will be. Nikki from Obsession? A yellow box labeled "Backrooms"? Susan Dell?

I don't know how much the DJ vote counts for, but I am biased in favor of originality.

Dog agility

Hello community, I was wondering if there were any dog agility clubs or dog agility equipment in or around the city? I have a 10 month old puppy that needs to burn some energy and have a job. Thanks!

really just trying to make an entire entertainment setup that doesn't rely on "Smart" tvs as much as possible.

I've been trying to look all over town for a medium to large set that is less than 300$

Other than FB marketplace would anyone know where to find these sets? I can't find a single one in goodwill
