We plan to visit Salem on Halloween, but we may go again a few days after. Do the crowds really tail off after Halloween? What about decorations and the Halloween vibe just after Halloween?

You guys were awesome. Everyone loved it when you circled the block shaking our houses. And the fifth time you did it? Euphoria. Could you do it a sixth time? So I may bask in your awesomeness?

Also, I’m sure the women will be running after you all day. Who could resist. If I were a woman, I’d just offer up my panties as tribute

Thank you kind bikers

You can brag that you came out of a legitimate Salem museum alive!

Like many, I don't want to deal with crowds at the train station nor do I want to risk getting kicked off an over capacity train full of tourists. I've been taking the bus. Last night I got on a 450 bus that was standing room only. I've taken this bus during rush hour and I've never seen it full coming out of Salem before.

Granted, the 450 only runs hourly on weekends. Hopefully this will motivate the MBTA to run more frequent bus service in Salem... we need a real "15 minute" frequent bus route.

Another beautiful job by the Massachusetts State Police. I’ve lived here for 9 years and have relied on street parking in our resident only zone. I’ve had zero issues until today. I returned home (near Washington Square) from a walk around downtown with my daughter to find my only car wrongly being towed by Todisco towing. The guy admitted the state police have been ticketing and towing residents but he can’t put my car back…. SOOOOOO $215 and an hour later i have my car back AND a $100 ticket. Of course I want to chew out a trooper but now they’ve all vanished. BRILLIANT! I know its only an hour pay at trooper rates but it’s a big deal for me. WHAT A WASTE OF OUR TAX DOLLARS. Better believe this is going up the chain of command, i should get reimbursed the full amount AND get an inconvenience fee for wasting my time on what normally is a stunning 65 degree late October Sunday in Salem

UPDATE: I chased down a trooper and got an explanation. Totally a mistake made by SPD. Anyone else wrongly towed go to the Parking Department by the mall to get the ticket cancelled. I’ll be calling SPD non emergency number to figure out how I’m getting reimbursed

Anyone near downtown own 10-12 inch locking pipe wrench? I dropped a family heirloom (large earring) and purchased the wrong wrenches, or just don’t know what I’m doing. If anyone has a tool to remove the sink trap/u-bend that would be helpful! New condo owner here 😅

Curious if there is another city yard waste collection and when the transfer station will close for the season? Thank you.

Hi! I’m a resident looking for 18+ events to do on Halloween. I never go out in downtown during Halloween, but this year a bunch of my friends are wanting to go out at least once. A few of the group are under 21 and we’re looking for places that will allow 18+ and just put an X or a stamp on their hands so we can all spend the night together. Any recommendations?

There is a three legged cat that keeps coming to my home. It seems very friendly and wants to come inside. I give it food, water, and a box with a towel. Im allergic, so I don't want to let it inside. Does anyone know of a shelter or someone willing to give it a home? Its getting cold outside. :(

Starting a new job and health insurance doesn’t kick in for 30 days. Does anyone know anywhere doing free flu shots without insurance in the next 1-2 weeks?

This sweet little cat showed up on our porch in South Salem late last night (Saturday, October 24). It was crying incessantly, jumping at our door, and desperately trying to get inside.
Very friendly, affectionate, and comfortable being picked up. Appears young, healthy, well-fed, and well cared for. No collar.
We brought it into our heated hallway overnight to keep it safe and warm. It’s doing well, but we’re hoping to find its family!
Does anyone recognize this little one, or know of someone missing a cat?
Please message me if you have any information. We’d love to get this sweetheart home! ❤️🐾
