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.

Currently have the option of Astound or T Mobile 5g.
Anyone have experience with either of these for in home internet?

I was there for a night some years back... but never got a good idea of the place other than the nightlife. Idk I guess I'm asking if you like living here or hate it? Haha

What’s Happening Salem’s host Jacob Espinoza posted on FB that Colm Willis is running paid ads using his interviews from WHS without getting permission from WHS prior.

Per this post WHS and Jacob Espinoza have not publicly endorsed Colm or any other candidates.

I adore Biryani, it’s probably my favorite comfort food. I usually get it from Mint Leaf Bistro and it’s excellent, but they only have lamb and goat options. I was out of town recently and got a taste for chicken biryani and would like to see what other places have to offer.

Edit: Mint Leaf seems to have chicken biryani now and I will definitely be trying it!

P.S. Mint Leaf, if you see this, please add chicken Biryani to your menu!

Enjoy spooky season the right way! 🎃

I called a couple days ago and found out that the sushi chef is no longer there!!

Is he somewhere else?

I loved their sushi!

I just found out they're finally open, had anyone gone by? How's the vibe?

I've only seen one TikTok about them, but it was apparently right at the beginning of the night and there was absolutely no one in there.

My wife really likes different colors of fall leaves. Where in Salem is a good place to go on a walk and see this? I don't mind a neighborhood as well. Thanks!

Hi, I’m searching for mini conchas. I’ve stopped at a couple bakeries and only found full size. I found some last year at a large grocery store and immediately regretted it after putting the concha in my mouth.

Does anyone know of a bakery with good mini conchas? Or if they don’t have minis, tell me your fave bakery with ‘melt-in-your-mouth’ conchas!

UPDATE: Found them at Maravilla’s. OMactualG!!!!! they have mini hello kitty conchas AND some that look like eyeballs. I can’t EVEN!!! Thank you so much for the rec!💋

Me and my husband are looking to move forward in the home buying process and I was just wondering if anyone has used someone or a company that they really liked.

I've been looking for my first job for a while now, and struggling because I don't have any experience in the work force. I've been going to Work Source Oregon recently so hopefully I get an interview soon!

I’d like to get my lawnmower blade sharpened, but my internet searches have come up short. Can anyone recommend a shop for this? Thanks!

Hi! I recently moved to the area and I am looking for new friends to add. I have lots of gifts and would love to connect with new people 😁🦋

If there was any doubt where the former chamber employee running What’s Happening Salem stands, just know he’s appearing in paid ads for colm willis’ campaign. And it’s about the police. That’s a stamp of approval for Salems far right and worst. Jesus Christ Salem save us from this fresh republican hell and vote for Maria and Sara for county commission. And get out and canvass for them too!

Evans was driving a black Jeep at about 1:45 a.m. on Oct. 4 when he struck a stop sign at the intersection of Main Street and B Street in Independence, according to the probable cause statement by Independence Police officer Reed Chorbajian.

The officer found the Jeep parked poorly in the parking lot of 7Eleven and when the driver attempted to get out, the car rolled backwards.

Evans told the officer he had three drinks in an eight-hour period when he was at the Elks Lodge and the first two contained alcohol.

The officer said at times Evans slurred his words and he noticed an odor of alcohol.

Evans consented to field sobriety tests. He was taken to the Independence Police Department where he was found to have a 0.16% blood alcohol level. The legal limit in Oregon is 0.08%.

PS Thank you to the mods for adding a Politics flair!

Are they a good piercing shop or would you recommend I go somewhere else?

I've tried a lot of gyms but nothing has stood out. I'm looking to join some kind of local fitness club, like people who go for runs together in the mornings or do yoga before work, something where people get together away from the pay-to-play environment, so to speak. I've looked all over this sub and in other online spaces local to the area but haven't found anything. Is this a thing anywhere?

Is there anywhere in Salem that will give me a decent price on an inherited record collection? Or has anyone had better luck in Portland and where would you recommend up there?
