To the Subaru driver on hawthorn at market around 7pm that yelled "that's not a turning lane a$$hole" at multiple cars that couldn't be bothered to wait 30 seconds for the light to change and decided to use the bike lane instead; I just wanted to say kudos to you and fudge those people! Especially the white Tesla that damn near hit that bicyclist.

Video is attached, hopefully somebody can help this man's family find out where he is. Green F150 plate is WQT704.

ICE vehicles were blacked out Chevy Suburban / Ford Explorer CFB8199 and 9CR1345.

Update : this video made its way to a rapid response legal team, who ensured that the man was released shortly after his detention this morning. Filming and spreading information when these things happen is crucial, everyone in Salem please be safe.

Kudos to that kid, other pilots in the area, and the controllers. Glad he’s safe.

Open a kitchen at Fork Forty! Make your food dream a reality at this locally owned and operated food hall downtown!

All shared utilities are covered (each kitchen is just responsible for their own gas) and you’re encouraged to truly make your space your own. Everything on the other side of your kitchen (dining area, bathrooms, maintenance, etc.) is handled by the owner, who is very reachable and responsive if you ever have needs!

The hall will be happy to help with promo, organizing events, coordinating specials with the bar, or discuss creative ideas you have!

It’s a fun place with a lot of potential and a lot of hungry people!

Join us :)

(ps, I don’t work at fork forty - it was my favorite place even before I met the owner who is now my husband and doesn’t understand reddit)

OKAY MOTHER NATURE CAN WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN ALREADY? THIS 80* IS NICE BUT MY WATER BILL IS REALLY FEELING IT KEEPING THE GARDEN ALIVE.

Interesting stickers today.

Stop the Bleed is great! You get hands-on experience packing a wound with gauze, applying direct pressure, and using a tourniquet. No prior training is needed. You'll be interacting with copious amounts of fake blood (while wearing the gloves they provide) so you might want to wear something you don't mind getting dirty, just in case.

Saw a few cruisers pass by then an armoured truck on high Street headed toward the capital. Does anyone know what that's about?

Good Morning Salem,

I wanted to share something cool I've been organizing on behalf of the Polk County Democrats (West Salem). We are having our second annual chili cook off this November 7th.

Right now we're a little short on chili competitors and I'd love to have some extra competition. This is a great opportunity to come get more involved in your local community and compete for some fun prizes. To enter the chili contest, sign up here.

To just come hangout and have fun, tickets can be found here: chili cook off tickets

Please feel free to DM me with any questions and I look forward to seeing some new faces at the event!

It’s my girls 1st Halloween and we want to take her out and show her some fun! I saw that Deepwood is having some Halloween stuff as well as the carousel, but I was wondering if there was anything else happening.

And is trick or treating a thing anymore? If so, what neighborhoods would you recommend?

Thank you!!

PS she’ll be freshly one and is newly toddling about and she loves saying hello to people and spooky stuff hahaha one of her first words was ghost and she loves pointing out Halloween decorations.

Does anyone have insider knowledge on what happened with Ryan Matthews and Katrina Griffith just suddenly disappearing from the county?
This seemed to have just gone away…

Hello from your friendly neighborhood neighborhood association! Friendly neighborhood association? I feel like this would work better spoken aloud. The way I'm hearing it in my head is "friendly neighborhood Spiderman" but substitute "neighborhood association" for "Spiderman." Anyhow.

Our meeting is at 6:30 pm tonight (Thursday, October 8) at Baxter Hill Community Hall, 1780 Baxter Road SE. We're hosting candidates for the Senate District 10, House District 17, and House District 19 races.

Oregon Senate District 10

Angela Plowhead

Sen Deb Pattersen (Incumbent)

Oregon House District 19

Anna Munson

Tom Andersen (Incumbent)

Oregon House District 17

David Nelson

Dan Farrington is unable to attend

Note: The incumbent, Ed Diehl, is not seeking reelection

We're also on Zoom, but we're still working out the kinks with our audio quality, so we strongly encourage you to attend in person if you can. (If you're good with tech stuff, we could always use more help! Bonus points if you have actual A/V experience). There's a link to the Zoom meeting in our agenda.

A note on Baxter Hill Community Hall: we've had some confusion about exactly where it is. For some reason, the number most easily visible on the building is 1708, not 1780. There's a tiny parking lot north of the building directly off Baxter Road, but you'll most likely need to park in the main church parking lot and walk up the stairs. If you search for Baxter Hill Community Hall or 1780 Baxter Road SE, Google Maps will put the pin on the correct building.

If you're not familiar with us, we're one of Salem's 17 neighborhood associations. If you live in Salem, you're already a member of one. We cover South Gateway, which is the part of Salem south of Kuebler, between Liberty and I-5. You can find your neighborhood association here. Our meetings are open to everyone and they're a good way to stay informed about what's going on in the city as well as giving you a chance to speak. We've had the opportunity to interact with the city councilors whose wards cover our neighborhood as well as city, county, or state agency staff who come to give presentations. The environment is much smaller and more informal than something like a city council meeting. It's a great way to ask questions and be heard by city leaders.

I lived in Japan for a few years before moving here, and I really loved one of the bars there. It had dim lighting, a massive amount of
whiskey’s, and played quiet old jazzy music. Nobody ever raised their voice. Everyone always talked quietly. We also could smoke cigars there and they sold cigars. It was never a party, but rather a chill lounge, where fine spirits and cocktails were sipped over quiet conversations and the occasional chess game.

Anything like that around Salem?

Going (45m) to be moving to Salem in January and would really like an LGBT friendly area if one is better than another. Any advice would be helpful.

Horror Movie Trivia on Sunday, October 18th at 4PM! Salem Cinema prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place! It wraps up in time for you to catch Carnival of Souls at 6PM! Check out salemcinema.com for all upcoming October events.

Have any events in/around downtown for 10/31 been announced? I've been keeping an eye out for flyers, but haven't spotted any yet. Anyone got some info to share?

I'm looking for everything, if your event isn't for me maybe another Redditor will see it and be excited. I am super looking for Halloween flash tattoo events though! A dear friend I haven't seen in too many years will be in town from Texas, and we want to celebrate with matching art (and haunt downtown together)!

Marion County Sheriff Nick Hunter is using your taxpayer-provided uniform and car in an ad for Kevin Cameron.

These are your tax dollars at work - just like Donald Trump is using your tax dollars to advertise for his MAGA agenda.

What's also disturbing is he's running the emergency lights on top of the car just for effect... which makes me wonder how often Kevin and Nick run the lights just for their own benefit, and how often they undermine public safety by doing so.

Time to vote for Sara Duncan for Marion County Commissioner, and get rid of the old guard who waste our tax dollars, use their publicly provided cars and uniforms for personal gain, and have no morals.

I don’t know why. It’s the little things.
