Just got a flyer from the Northeast Salem Community Association (if you don’t know what city neighborhood you live in, click here).
Good old No. 5, the NESCA, is organizing a free summer concert series in the little parks tucked in the corners behind Old Salem’s (like Old Europe, only paved and with more stray cats) candy-colored cottages.
Here’s the breakdown:

6:30-8:30 pm.
July 7: Afincando
July 14: Scott Gallegos

If you don’t know any of the names, just click on the links and check them out. I for one was pretty astounded at what a little neighborhood association — even the coolest of them — can pull together.
Yay for Neighborhood Associations! If you want something cool to happen you just need to get involved and make it happen. I love that the city of Salem really supports it’s NA’s. I’m looking forward to checking out some of those concerts. Even if they are in “your” neighborhood and not mine.
I get the updates for my local association. I keep thinking I’m going to make it to one of the meetings any of these days…
This is a great idea for those neighborhoods. Get people out and using those parks!
I LOVE music – this is so cool your neighborhood is doing this. I’m in the Faye Wright area.
I remember hearing that a West Salem neighborhood does this also. What a great idea–bringing neighbors together with picnic baskets.
