You always make me laugh. Maybe by now you've had a blessed birthing!

There was no Riverfront Park, no Gilbert House, the Elsinore was about to be demolished, and Thompson's Brew Pub was nothing but talk. The Saturday Market was just a gleam in someone's eye, and downtown Salem had more holes than my Mimi's afghan. But just wait, there are now more great kids places than ever -and your focus is about to change!

"Putting the "somethin'" back in Salem!" I should adopt that as a subtitle for the blog. That’s an interesting idea for a slogan…

“Putting the “somethin’” back in Salem!”

I should adopt that as a subtitle for the blog.

I don't even think of doing things in Salem any more - to the point where I'm sure I'm missing out on the worthy things that may be happening around town. Is it shameful that when someone suggests "Hey, we should do something," I instantly think "Right, either head to Albany/Corvallis or Portland since there is no 'something' in Salem.

I guess that's an advantage of being an outsider, or a newcomer. Salem has been pretty welcoming, and if I have an enemies, they haven't voiced themselves. That's too bad! Sometimes I run into people who disagree with my columns/blogposts, and but they only reveal themselves, sheepishly, when I meet them for the first time. I invite conversations as long as they are civil. In the end, I believe in the marketplace of ideas and can't understand the impulse to hold those ideas back. Well thank you, Michael.

I find that I cannoot write about what really pisses me off. The eyes and ears of Salem are well conneted; the company I work for wouldn't understand. I envy you that you write fulltime and enjoy such luxeries. Love your column in Salem Monthly. And now I found you here!
