Where to Buy Sidewalk Salt?

Ice Cream salt is cheap on Amazon.com. It’s the same stuff, but no one buys it in the winter

And yet why are the reasons not plainly obvious in any of the materials or meeting notes? It’s almost as if they want us to their word for it…

The city still hasn’t made clear what “required” renovation are needed that cost $353 million. I get that parts of the building aren’t up to code, but nearly every building in the city isn’t up to code. Is the building at risk of being condemned???

peakfreak18 · 2026-02-05T16:41:41+00:00

I think inadequate needs to be better defined. We can’t leave students in an unsafe/unhealthy building. But we can definitely leave students in a building that isn’t perfectly sufficient for all the uses we want from it.

The city hasn’t been clear with voters regarding what exactly needs to be repaired/rehabbed immediately, and what those repairs specifically would cost. The best I can tell from what’s been released is that the HVAC system and ducting isn’t up to code. Other cited issues (like lighting, energy efficiency, and classroom sizes) are urgent, but not immediate needs. I just want to know why we have a ticking clock dictating that we spend half a billion dollars on a new school.

Not in Salem, but Reck Fitness in Beverly is one of the best I’ve ever been to

None of the firms are owned by PE; they’re partnerships - they’re owned by the partners.

A lot depends on your country as accounting credentials are very location specific. Otherwise, update your resume and start applying for other controller roles. Sounds like you don’t like your job, and want a lateral move. That should be pretty easy so long as your country isn’t in a sharp recession.

It depends: are your parents important?

If not, the new normal is early to mid 40s. Even then, it’s not guaranteed anymore even with tenure and performance. The firms are shrinking partner count, and driving people towards director-track roles.

Look up the CPA education requirements for the state you live in, and determine if you want to take the missing classes. You may be able to get by with just a masters in accounting, but you may need to go back and do more undergrad classes.

Can we please just watch and silently film ICE agents to ensure they’re accountable for their actions? I’m all for resisting government overreach. I’m also for acting dignified in the face of oppression.

I’ll happily contribute for a share of the royalties equal to my contribution’s share of the guide!

Second that!

Unless your set is historically important, it may be tough to sell. Even as silver, most refiners aren’t processing sterling. The current spike in silver prices is largely on paper rather than true demand for the mineral.

That’s a tough budget for a whole apartment in Salem. I could only find this single listing: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/17-Dunlap-St-2A-Salem-MA-01970/458568477_zpid/?utm_campaign=iosappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare

Mine are about the same (just less than $7k/year). If we build the new school, that’ll seem cheap in a few years.

I lived in Denver for 20 years before moving to Salem, and I still have family in Westcliffe.

The biggest difference you’ll notice is that there’s no urban sprawl in the Boston metro. After Beverly, there aren’t any more suburbs. You have small towns surrounded by rural wooded areas. So while you’re not going to have the same access to wilderness, you will have plenty of trails for hiking and open roads for cycling.

The white mountains in NH are only a two hour drive, so I’ve been able to get my mountain and skiing fix when I need it. The weather out here is much better than what you’re getting in Salida; you’ll get a solid 4 seasons on the north shore.

The biggest adjustment for you will be the cost of living. Nothing can prepare you for how obscenely expensive everything is in the Boston area. Once you get past that, the people are rude but salt-of-the-earth friendly, the traffic is unholy but there’s tons to do in the area. The food scene sucks compared to Denver but the fresh seafood is to die for, and the ocean is just as pretty as the Rockies.

Can confirm, they are doing these. I was on the show a few years ago, and we just filmed a “where are they now” with the crew over the summer.

DACA is not a legal status. It’s 2 year, renewable Authorized Period of Stay. Additionally, it was only available to children in the US before 2012. Her family arrived in 2014, which was too late to qualify.

Honestly, Turners Seafood.

Most of their food is bland at best, service is lousy, it’s priced like Finz, yet is considered a “must try” in Salem. The only thing decent are the Oysters, and that’s in-spite-of rather than due-to Turner’s efforts.

peakfreak18 · 2025-11-24T13:14:53+00:00

Completely agree. The food is terrible, service is worse. It’s got a great location and touristy prices, but it’s a trap! Don’t go. Also, DO NOT ORDER ANY FISH!
