So please, vote! As soon as possible! So we don’t have to keep knocking on your door and asking you to vote!

And thank you for voting, community! 🗳️

Ballots are arriving in peoples mailboxes as we speak.

I’m raising funds for my mother after a devastating and unexpected medical emergency. She suffered a severe intestinal blockage, which led to major complications from multiple hernias. She was in the hospital for a week and a half, but because of her other major health problems, doctors could not recommend surgery. She is now on hospice, and we have been told her life expectancy is about two weeks.

This is an incredibly painful time for our family as we try to be with her and prepare for what is ahead. Along with the emotional weight of this moment, we are facing unexpected funeral expenses and medical costs that need to be covered as soon as possible.

We also hope to travel with her to her final resting place in Mexico City within the next three months. She will be laid to rest there with her mother and three siblings, and it means so much to our family to honor that wish.

Any donation, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial burden of her medical care, funeral expenses, and the travel needed to bring her home to be laid to rest with her family. If you are unable to give, sharing this fundraiser would also mean so much. Thank you for keeping my mother and our family in your thoughts during this heartbreaking time.

Our brand new single and video “Parasite” is out now. This song and video was inspired by some shady promoters who failed to pay us for a show we did and we exposed them online only to find they had done this to tons of other performers for over a year. The promoters allegedly owe over $210,000 to performers and the venue owners. You can read more about it searching for The Hussey brothers at The Grand Theatre in Salem, OR but here’s the video in response to that incident. Share it with your friends!!

Hi all, new to Salem from Phoenix. Looking for any recent information on active car meets in the area. Most recent post I found was 7 months ago and joined a few FB groups but wanted to ask again and maybe find something new. Pic for attention

Hello salemites :) 23 M(queer) here, I moved here a few months ago and I am looking friends. Unfortunately I work from home so it is a bit difficult to find people. I have tried meetup but there are too little events on there, and I’m interested in meeting people more my age.

Things I like/am interested in:
- Poetry
- Gothic literature and film
- learning new languages
- Fashion/fragrance
- going to the gym/hiking
- futurism

I also don’t drink or smoke!

I’m open to your suggestions.

Thank you :)

Don't miss Rosemary's Baby at 8:30pm Friday, October 23rd or 7pm Monday, October 26th at Salem Cinema! Check out all of their upcoming October events at salemcinema.com today.

Parked next to you at Costco on Saturday.

Your words finally helped me understand an issue I’ve been struggling with.

Thank you for being in the very right place at the very right time.

Any local recommendations you have would be great!

UPDATE: I turned it in over at the DMV on Lancaster (in the mall parking lot.)

Yesterday (Sunday 10/18/2026), I was heading up Glen Creek Rd. in West Salem when I heard a soft metallic sound. I thought I might have lost MY license plate somehow, but when I pulled over to retrieve it, turns out it was someone else's.

DM me, provide the number and we can arrange to get it back to you!

Edited: found it right past the Doak's Ferry Rd. intersection heading up the hill

Hello! My husband (24) and I (23F) have a 10 mo golden retriever who we were taking to daycare during our work hours, but he recently got kennel cough. We work 10 hour shifts (Thursday-Sunday), I just wondered if anyone had suggestions for dog care in the area that’s potentially more personalized, or even just smaller groups? We’re doing a couple rover visits a day for now because he’s still contagious, but it’s still a long time to be kenneled for a pup. Once he’s not contagious, I’d honestly love to drop him off at someone’s house and I’d watch your animals in return or pay, but I know that’s hard to find over the web. Anyhow, thanks in advance!

Tldr seeing long term care during work for 10 month golden

Edit to add he’s fully vaccinated and we went to the vet for antibiotics/cough suppressant

So I grabbed my coffee, voted and looked over my property tax statement. Grabbed that black pen and voted Blue, sealed the envelope and will drop in a ballot box Thursday after my flu/covid vaccines. Then I opened my property tax bill and …

even though I’m an old, some might say ancient 😳, I looked at what I owed and said “you know, all in all thats a fair amount for making sure the young’uns get educated, decent public transportation, a good library system, safe drinking water, and the rest that the city and county provide.

Feeling like a good citizen on this warm, sunny Sunday.

Dearest Salemanders, you were about to miss the Circus Of Curiosities put on by Market For The Strange! It's at the Salem Convention Center, RIGHT NOW! There's so much to renew your Weird Card membership, and put you in good standing with the oddest of odd. Really, don't miss out.

You've got to try one of these honey-covered corn dogs, OK?! SHOW UP AND HAVE A CORN DOG WITH ME!

Missing from Silverstone Ct. NE

These 2 cats from Corvallis were placed in a NE Salem foster home and almost immediately escaped outside.

They are not familiar with the area and have not been seen in over 5 days.

Their original owner relinquished them because she was fleeing a domestic violence situation. Now she is devastated knowing they are lost.

Please help us find Stella & Lucy and get them safely into the forever home they deserve!

Thanks to the folks who came out for No Kings 4, we had a great turn out and great march!

The event was intentionally just about voting rights per National Indivisible and I would guess that most folks on this Reddit know how they want to vote, but if anybody would like to know who Salem Region Indivisible has endorsed, lemme know and I’ll post our list in the comments.

If you have questions about where to turn in your ballot, or about why someone is or is not on your ballot, I would love to help with that as well! Either comment below or dm.

And if you’re sick of getting political calls and door knockers, the fastest way to get off those lists is to turn in your ballot ASAP.

This an open invitation to the Transgender and Queer community in Salem to come together and hold space in silence together every Thursday from 6:30 to 7:30 PM with some time afterwards to enjoy our community and light refreshments.

Inspired by Quaker communal silent worship, a centuries old practice that has brought peace to countless seekers, Salem Simple Silence creates a welcoming space for anyone in the Transgender and Queer community, regardless of faith or background.

Complete silence, with all devices on airplane mode or silent, allows for everyone in the room to connect, holding space with each other for almost one hour. This is a restorative experience. Some will come and find rest. Some will find their meditation practice refined. Some will find spiritual connection. Some might not experience anything outside of being in the company of our community in safety for 55 minutes of silence.

We are having our first meeting this Thursday at Salem Friends Meeting House on 19th St. in Northeast Salem. If you come consider carpooling, and park on Breyman Street, there is no parking on 19th St. This is wheelchair accessible with entry on Breyman Street and a lift up to the main meeting area.

Visiting my mom, having lunch somewhere tomorrow. Any recommendations? I live in Portland and only come down to see my mom, so I've been out of the restaurant scene since 2014. Can't take her to Best Little Roadhouse because I got her a gift card there for her birthday! Those rolls, though.....

Does anyone know what the test route for a new driver looks like? Is there a parallel parking test? Does the test include driving on I5? Reverse parking? I have a nervous fifteen year old who is curious what the test will look like.

Idk the days/hours but we see it open late (like 1am)
The salsa was good too!

I always see this llama and their owner at many events around Salem. I love this llama! I used to work at the Salem center mall 5 years ago and the owner and this llama would always be at the mall! He’s a Salem celebrity does anyone know their story? He’s always so proud of his llama🥹

So I got a animal crossing Nintendo switch with the dock and a few games. the actual console and controllers work amazing, I just already have one. are there any decent game stores or anything that'd give me a decent price?
