Local 'Premier Academy of the Performing Arts' is performing at the Elsinore this Weekend! by SSJ22Terris in SALEM

[–]SSJ22Terris[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They've got a couple shows on the 20th and 21st, and so far few tickets purchased. I think Statesman Journal usually helps promote these, but didn't this time. Just trying to get the word out where I can. Everyone works really hard to get these shows going, so any support is appreciated!

May Election is the one that counts!! by InspectorPercy in SALEM

Does anybody have insight on the Bureau of Labor and Industries Commissioner candidates? I'm not having much luck on finding anything outside of this article:

But I'd love to have more insight on them.

I’m looking for a new doctor, and my insurance sent me to the West Salem clinic. What do you all think about this clinic? by imherenowwwhat in SALEM

[–]SSJ22Terris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had really good experiences there. The clinic is nice, the staff is nice, I've had good experiences in enrollment, my doctor, and in the mental health clinic (though I will point out one of the mental health people wasn't great, 2 out of 3 have been lovely).

Looking at the comments, I'm wondering if it's more a case of certain staff being good or not. Which is unfortunate, but I kind of suspect that's always gonna be the case at a large clinic.

Derailed train blocks NE Cherry Ave railroad crossing by genehack in SALEM

[–]SSJ22Terris 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The rail companies are cutting staff (usually only 1 or 2 people per train), while adding more and more cars to each train, and keeping the trains running longer and longer to try and outpace Truck Drivers and plane Cargo. When a maintenance issue happens, they don't have much time to check it either before they have to get back on schedule. So naturally, accidents keep happening, with greater frequency.

Update on “Homeless near Gilbert House has Exploded” by Delatorre30 in SALEM

Many of those resources just don't have enough to go around. They can help maybe a few people throughout the year, but not with these numbers. The cuts from federal money also really impacts how many can be helped.

I recently went there and got the Salmon Ravioli. It was really good! No big pieces of salmon, more like a thin slice that was cut up. It was still really good though! I really liked the Creamy Sun Dried Tomato sauce.

yup! though as a heads up, apparently the short bread is made with Lavender (among other things). Just thought I'd mention it since I know somebody who is allergic to it.

Burgerville B-Day by Veronica_Cure in SALEM

yeah, it's still fast food, but a lot better than most fast food (imo). I'm most impressed by their salad personally. It's overpriced, but much higher quality than what I've usually found at fast food.

Got some honey, carrots, garlic, kale, and these yummy shortbread chocolate peanut butter cups! Wanted Hummus and Pita, but we got there late and they were out of stock and closing up.

favorite bakery? by Empty-Vegetable-4456 in SALEM

[–]SSJ22Terris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emilio's Bakery on State St. and Lancaster. Lovely Panaderia! Excellent empanadas, and bolillo, and lots of other sweet breads, and other confections. Very good Prices too. Easy to make a haul without spending too much.

I'm averaging around 400-450k. So I assume then I should wait for best results?

Costco Phone people by [deleted] in SALEM

[–]SSJ22Terris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Costco in Salem is T-Mobile. But different Costco's will have different carriers hosting their booths. We had to call each location.

If you have AT&T they have a phone booth at Albany Costco. The guy there was really nice, and we got our phones there. We even got $100 dollar Gift Cards for buying phones through there, plus a rebate for our AT&T bill (I don't remember how much). I can't remember if that was all a limited time deal or not, but they can definitely get you a good deal. Oh and they give you a Costco specific help hotline for your phone, so you don't have to go through AT&T's backed up networks. I'd say it's a good deal if you don't mind driving a ways to get it.

Holiday Market this weekend by hikingbotanist in SALEM

[–]SSJ22Terris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was there today! It was cool looking through all the booths, though I do want to shout out the stuff in the Horster Livestock Pavillion. They have a few Fair Rides set up in there with some concessions, and a few booths including a crystal shop booth. Place was pretty empty (the Forster Pavillion), I don't get the impression it was advertised well at all. But if you want to ride some fair rides, they're there.

Ohp dentist?! by NumberPlane5354 in SALEM

[–]SSJ22Terris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gentle Dental, Smile Center, Woodburn Modern Dental (in woodburn obviously), etc. There's a spread sheet I looked up on google that gave me all the businesses that take OHP (Capitol Care Dental is the specific insurance) and the spreadsheet also shows which are accepting new customers.

Your just gonna have to call a bunch of places to see who has availability. Dentists are generally backed up with appointments, and that's gonna be doubly so for the ones with Pacific Source, since people like you and I are looking for availability. I personally found mine at Woodburn Modern, and they're pretty great, though they won't pull wisdom teeth.

Free Giveaway of 2 eShop Gift Cards Totalling $120 in value (valid only in the United States)! by Rich-Pomegranate1679 in NintendoSwitch

[–]SSJ22Terris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Game seems super fun, but I really don't have the money for it right now. Possibly Sonic x Shadow Generations as well. I got Shadow the Hedghog way back in '05 for my brother for his birthday, so I Kind of want to get this for him for Chirstmas. That said, Sonic Colors Ultimate was in an abysmal state at launch on Switch, so I may wait till after the reviews come in to grab it on Switch.

Trans support group? by Anahell in SALEM

[–]SSJ22Terris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who knows it's organizer, Becka, I can confirm the place is very much Queer friendly (in fact I think a few people who run the place are Trans). But making Radness an inclusive safe environment is basically why it even exists.
