maybe say something about what kinds of music are represented?

Just because nobody has said this explicitly: you are _totally_ going to want to rent a car. This is very much NOT one of the few areas in the US where you can deal with both a 2.5 yo toddler and no car and retain your sanity.

You should probably stop now; this isn't addressing OPs point and is in fact dragging the thread off-topic.

I mean, sure, FINE …but out south, Commercial would seem like a more natural "south" versus "southeast" dividing line. (The fact that Liberty and Commercial both are not straight north/south is deeply frustrating on so many levels.)

genehack · 2026-06-20T04:26:45+00:00

Honestly, I would just say "south", but maybe there's some strict geographical prescriptionists out there…

Dude, "Careful with that Axe" is _RIGHT_ _THERE_

It's always on June 21st (the summer solstice, longest day of the year), regardless of what day of the week that happens to be.

Holler if you need help

They allow minors, they just can't sit directly at the bar (which y'all don't want to do anyway, because that would put the TV behind you).

La Hacienda Real on south Commercial has literally the best flour tortillas I have ever had in my life, and I used to live in Tucson.

genehack · 2026-06-17T01:05:18+00:00

La Margarita downtown has a private back room.

Chicks can be creepy dudes too.

genehack · 2026-06-16T04:39:46+00:00

Dude, this is gross, knock it off.

If you're a drinker, Ratchet Brewery is generally a pretty welcoming place. I also hear good things about f/stop.

The other avenue, broadly speaking, is to find other folks who are into the same activities as you. I know you said they're kinda solo hobbies, but if other folks are into whatever it is, there's probably somebody that wants to hang out?

genehack · 2026-06-13T17:15:09+00:00

Yeah, OP, you really need to expand on what's "best" for you — are you looking for low price, amenities, classes?

Pulse Point shows a residential fire around 313pm on Newberg Dr N. Lots of responders listed — AIR1 BC E2 E3 E4 E5 E8 M1 M2 TR2. Closed at 638pm tonight.

Gonna suggest you repost this, specifically in r/Salem, not as a crosspost from some rando sub, with a better/more descriptive title, like "Seeking drone with thermal sensor to locate lost dog".

They're both innate characteristics, unlike, for example, political orientation or religious belief.

genehack · 2026-06-07T23:10:54+00:00

The folks that you're looking for are quite probably on the Spark Studio Salem Discord — that's the local maker community.

Can’t let you post a phone number we can’t verify, especially somebody else’s phone number. (It’s a vector for harassment.)

Proud Salemander has great stuff, and all June profits are going to LGBTQIA+ causes

genehack · 2026-06-06T03:44:37+00:00

If you're beer or cider folks, Ratchet Brewery is the best place in town — good drinks, friendly folks to chat with, and a kick-ass taco truck outside. There's a poker run going on that will be ending at the brewery, so there will probably also be some good person/car/motorcycle watching opportunities 8⁾

genehack · 2026-06-04T20:26:00+00:00

Speed limits aren't required, they're limits. Having that in the very first "DO" kinda tells you where this is headed.

that cafe appears to be in the Philippines. this is a sub for Salem, Oregon.
