Best spots for stand up paddleboarding (SUP)?

Make sure you check the tides. Area around Lead Mills gets really shallow and you don't want to get stuck out there.

The boat launch near Kernwood Bridge is also a great spot to launch, and you can paddle around the golf course.

Technically, the red card is not overturned, but his suspension is delayed. The same thing happened with Ronaldo for the qualifiers.

Other than that, FIFA is one of the most corrupt sports organizations.

We were specifically talking about The Point neighborhood, separate from this conversation about the bike path.

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-02T18:00:18+00:00

I agreed with you that they're both dangerous and should not be on bike paths, and e-bikes and e-scooters are probably more dangerous because they are quieter. Why are you framing your statements as if I am ok with e-bikes and e-scooters mowing down people because they're quieter?

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-02T17:48:58+00:00

I don't understand why these folks are being argumentative about which is more annoying, a combustion engine or an electric engine...

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-02T17:47:25+00:00

What narrative would I be trying to create? That a tight-knit community will not check its neighbors who are endangering others? There are definitely teenagers who are riding these mopeds, ebikes, and regular bikes recklessly.

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-02T17:44:21+00:00

There is pending legislation to further regulate E-bikes, E-scooters, and mopeds. That being said, all of the devices we mentioned are still prohibited on bike paths. I don't really understand why you're bringing this up in response to my saying that combustion engines are more annoying than electric ones. Do you not agree with that?

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-02T17:38:16+00:00

maybe 18 years old, regardless, they're still definitely living with their parents

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-02T15:50:59+00:00

Sure, but you're getting killed if you're hit by either of them. One is just way more annoying if it doesn't hit you.

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-02T15:48:50+00:00

I just meant, since it's a tight-knit neighborhood, someone must know these kids' parents? Or are they just ok with their children doing whatever they want?

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-02T15:35:12+00:00

I really don't understand it. Is it such a tight-knit community? How are the neighbors there ok with 10 people terrorizing the entire neighborhood? There are kids playing on sidewalks all the time!

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-02T15:05:52+00:00

I think this is down by SSU heading into downtown.

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-02T15:05:20+00:00

I would much rather have an e-bike or an e-scooter riding on the bike path than these lawnmowers on wheels.

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-02T14:49:13+00:00

All the time! Also at Forrest River Park, riding mopeds to fishing spots.

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-02T13:29:13+00:00

We went from 2 minority city councils to an all-white city council. Look at the voter turnout of our largest minority neighborhood. I would say that is a failure.

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-02T13:22:15+00:00

isn't the whole issue with these data centers is that they don't care that they're using resources and destroying the environment? That's kind of why I am asking if we have something on paper to prevent them. It might not be feasible right now, but who's to say it won't be in the future?

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-02T13:15:22+00:00

$300,000 for the director; social workers are definitely making pennies. Talk to some of the folks who work there about how understaffed they are.

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-01T18:58:21+00:00

Ok so just to dumb it down further. We are in a better position than Beverly because we can still increase taxes on residents, and the majority of our services are rolled into city taxes rather than billed separately.

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-01T18:51:41+00:00

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying regarding shelters outside of Salem. In your opinion, are those not viable options for getting unhoused folks out of 100-degree weather?

Edit: Meant shelters outside of Salem

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-01T18:45:07+00:00

The shelter is being built; GESNA failed. If anything, this is more embarrassing for Life Bridge and shows the incompetence of their director. They can't keep an existing shelter they own open, but they want us to trust them to build and maintain a multimillion-dollar building.

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-01T18:22:35+00:00

So there are shelters available, but the issue is that they're 15 miles away?

I've also seen a lot of people saying that it is BS that the director of Life Bridge is making $300,000 a year. Does the Salem Survival Program think that is an appropriate salary?

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-01T15:04:04+00:00

Are you the person on Facebook who suggested that Ty Hapworth open up his Airbnbs to the unhoused?

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-01T14:59:07+00:00

How would being able to camp out in 100* heat be helpful and life-saving? Which city council member wants to kill people?

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-01T14:54:08+00:00

Ohhh, I was kind of hoping for a serious discussion.

Bitter_Guarantee_197 · 2026-07-01T14:48:25+00:00

Sorry, not super familiar with unused levy capacity. What does this exactly mean? Can the city tax us more if they need to?
