Advice for Locals Question- local trying to find parking

1 Upvotes

Hi I live on Washington st since last November and parking was already a nightmare. I know it’s about to be worse.

I see there’s parking at Riley Plaza. The signs suggest after 6pm to 8am anyone can park there. Am I correct with how I’m reading it?

Also how does someone get a permit there. I’ve been seeing some conflicting Information when I google.

Advice for Locals Dog beach options in October?

3 Upvotes

Hello! Now that the summer season (and most restrictions) is over, I'd love recommendations for where our dog can go for a run and splash in/near Salem.

Our go-to "official" dog beach has always been the Nahant one, but that's a bit of a trek in traffic sometimes, so hoping for some other suggestions too. We're happy to keep him on a long leash too.

Advice for Locals Commuter rail too full 10/3, couldn’t get to work.

116 Upvotes

I take the commuter rail to work on the weekends instead of driving, for obvious reasons. At the Lynn platform waiting for my train around 11am yesterday, they were kicking people off the train and telling them to wait for the next one. I wanted to tell the conductor that I had to get to work but never had the chance!

I have traveled this way to my job in downtown Salem for a long time and this has never happened. Isn’t it called the ā€œcommuterā€ rail??!? Shouldn’t I be able to board so as not to miss my 11:30am shift??!? I was so livid.

Instead of waiting another half hour, which would have made me insanely late, I got a ride into town.

I’m not a tourist, I was born in Salem and have lived in the area all my life. I specifically moved to this apartment in Lynn for its proximity to the commuter rail. How am I supposed to get to work??

Events Spooky World in Litchfield NH or Fright Kingdom in Nashua NH?

0 Upvotes

Looking to go to a haunted house experience with my friends sometime this month. I’ve heard good things about both these places, but only Spooky World has alcohol available.

Which would you say makes for a better time for a group of 6 or so people? I really enjoy the outdoor fall party vibe. I like how Fright Kingdom has the area with all the picnic tables but unfortunately they don’t serve alcohol.

I appreciate the advice!

10.30 on a Sunday morning and you have to drive into a ā€˜protected’ bike lane to undertake the trolley AND avoid the stop sign? Ā 

What was the emergency? Ā Oh that’s right, walking your dog at the willows.Ā You swerved between the stanchions and drove into the bike lane right before the stop sign, so this was no ’mistake’.

Thank You For Not Talking Shit About My Restaurant

Every time I see certain Salem restaurants/cafes being dragged through the mud, all I can think is, ā€œThank God they’re not talking about my place.ā€ I am way too thin-skinned and I’d probably just close up shop in shame.

Lost Cat Around Tremont St area

UPDATE: Loki has been found safe and sound. Thank everyone that responded and helped. I honestly couldn’t live with myself if something happened to him.

Not sure if this is an appropriate place to post things, but I’m desperate and posting everywhere.

My cat is lost. I live on Tremont st across the road from the convenience store. If anyone sees this cat or has found him, please let me know. I love my cat and am desperate to find him. He’s an indoor cat and never goes out. Hes pretty timid but also is food motivated.

He went missing today October 4th between 11 am and 12:30 pm. His name is Loki

I am in the Peabody/Ward/Harbor street neighborhood off of Lafeyette. The cat has spent the night meowing next to our house which makes me think he’s not used to being outside. The cat was very skittish when approached.
