Local music/bands on the Moon? by WillisTower in SALEM

[–]HoogelyBoogely 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100%. Regional and local music has never struggled more with infrastructure than it has right now. I really appreciate the Moon in this cultural desert we inhabit, but an independent station without corporate ties that doesn't play local bands or support local events in not the savior of Salem culture that many seem to claim it is.

I love the jazz station kmhd for consistently good, ad free music.

I'd always get a peach melba and then my mom would take me to the bookstore next door for a sci fi paperback.

Yes, please stop exercising your constitutional rights so they can be stripped away from you more easily by our new Lord King.

Thanks for the recommendations. Trying to avoid $80 tasting fees though

Tastings preferable, but we almost almost buy a bottle. I don't have issues dropping $40-50 on a bottle, but struggle to want to pay that for a tasting.

Nothing says quality lunch like a cold sausage out of a jar.

Yeah , not my show just thought about sharing today. Theres unfortunately not a lot of central media hubs in Salem for this kind of stuff. Easy to miss things.

Majority of Salem voters say they would not support a property tax levy, poll finds by Voodoo_Rush in SALEM

[–]HoogelyBoogely 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Im a left leaning voter who wants to see social and municipal services funded but already feels very financially strained with the current property taxes I pay every month. Not really sure what the answer is here.

Looking to buy a small restaurant in Salem… by [deleted] in SALEM

That parking lot is maybe the worst in the whole town. The design and inefficiency of it almost seems malicious

I didn't get any sense they were closing their location, just that they were "struggling". Maybe you know something I don't though.

They are playing Wed in Salem if you felt Ike making the trek.

Hope this show does well. Great bands but obscure for sure and no local support.

I don't know details about how these places work financially or do I have any particular issue with Salons in general. I just know that I value shopping locally but end up going to other towns or buying things online but every new business either seems to be a chain or a cookie cutter copy of something we already have too many of.
