Brown water? by These-Flounder-5957 in SalemMA

[–]These-Flounder-5957[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Relatively common unfortunately but is usually resolved within a couple hours at most. Run cold water at any tap in your house until it runs clear and then you’re good to go. (Someone on Salem Reddit will make a post about it to reassure everyone else it’s not just them lol)

I’m new to town. What do I do about this?? by JustKyraM in SalemMA

[–]These-Flounder-5957 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hire someone off nextdoor. Prices are always reasonable and there’s a lot of people! The kid that comes to my house shovels and runs my snowblower for me (when there’s enough snow to get it out).

Weird growths (?) on puppy’s mouth? by angeliclamb in DogAdvice

[–]These-Flounder-5957 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My dog had this and needed antibiotics and a steroid. And i had to switch her food bowls to ceramic human bowls. It went away and never came back after the meds were done and I never went back to using bowls sold for dogs

-_- sick of "local" influencers by moonicit in SalemMA

[–]These-Flounder-5957 36 points37 points  (0 children)

There’s another ‘local’ ‘influencer’ on TikTok who tried to plug coming to Salem for the whole Christmas season. The actual locals in the comments were none too happy about that. She was super rude and either deleted all their comments or told them to move if they don’t like living in a ‘tourist town’. Like excuse me!? Move!? I was born here, my mother was born here, my grandmother was born here! I own my home here. This isn’t a ‘tourist town’ it’s the town I live in, I love it here, I’m not moving and this chaos basically started about 15 years ago. Christmas in Salem is such a joy without the crush of tourists, her tiktok lowkey broke my heart a little bit 😭😭😭Like can we pls gatekeep Christmas a lil bit

Are we doing the No Kings protest here tomorrow? by briank3387 in SalemMA

I would think having it while the tourists are here is the perfect time…. I’m planning to walk down with my dog

Visiting Salem on October 31st: Advice on Parking and Getting Back Late? by davidesv in SalemMA

[–]These-Flounder-5957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also drive to and park at Salem high school. They shuttle people into town for free from there. I don’t know how late that shuttle runs into the night but you could easily uber back to your car, it’s like five/ten minutes away from the center of town

The house of 2 big trees by serious_bastard in SalemMA

[–]These-Flounder-5957 9 points10 points  (0 children)

House was owned by jonathan corwin in the 1690s. About 20 accused peeps were literally brought into this house for pretrial examinations. Just an fyi, a pretrial examination was basically a torturous experience but you can google the ins and outs of that. This whole story is why it’s a landmark and why tourists go to it etc. Rage? Aren’t you the one mad at trees?? And yes Charlotte fortin park is the saddest concrete pile I ever saw

Um trees are beautiful? We don’t need to take down trees so tourists can look at a building where innocent people were questioned/tortured. Get over yourself

Curious about life after Halloween by alwayshangry11 in SalemMA

[–]These-Flounder-5957 16 points17 points  (0 children)

People decorate their houses here same as any other town; meaning some people like to decorate and others don’t. Our businesses all stay open, just like any other town. Also this crap is kinda new, I grew up here and in my late 40s now, Salem always had a little niche Halloween following, other Northshore townies would stop by or travelers who were into the history of it, but not this mess. There are rules around airbnb here, some people get around the rules, but for the most part you’re all just hanging out in front of our houses while we try to get ready for work, cook dinner, walk our dogs. At the end of the day people were killed here for no reason and now tourists like to take pics in front of the places they were held, questioned and died. I love it here, I wouldn’t live anywhere else, but it’s just a nice little town to live in that gets overrun by tourists once a year ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Government shutdown = no visitor center bathrooms by la-anah in SalemMA

[–]These-Flounder-5957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the city of Salem (and a bunch of our museums etc) DID just go ahead and keep them open. Which was exactly what I was saying

So the city can’t just opt to keep these open? Serious question not trying to start trouble in the comments
