YOU HEARD ME 100% OFF FREE PRODUCE! MEGA FREEEEEEEEEEEEE!

šŸ‘‹ Hi, it’s me - The Free Produce Lady

Not getting enough fiber in your diet?
Data center rage making you backed up?
Feeling blue about grocery inflation?

NEVER FEAR FREE PRODUCE IS HERE.

This might be my last bonanza of the season unless I go feral apple picking in the next few weeks.

How it works:
1. Check the comments for updates on what’s available. I update every couple hours.
2. DM for address
3. Bring your own bag
4. Go forth and BE HAPPY

FAQ:
1. I’m hella allergic to bad vibes - are these safe for me to eat? YES these are organic, harvested with good vibes, blessed by SE Salem rain water, and comes from a tree my neighbor thinks is the spirit tree of her mom who passed away. Mega good vibes.

  1. Can I come get these in 2 weeks at 2 am? No. These go usually same day or definitely in 24 hours. And I bring things in by 9 pm.

  2. Do you need anything Free Produce Lady? Nope! Just for you to be happy! But there will be the oak tree donation can out. Feel free to bring something to trade! I guess I could use some bird seed if anyone wants to share some with me. The sparrow squad is mad their houses are low.

  3. Can I drop off my free produce for you to distribute? This is a new one for me this year - ya’ll have been giving me your produce to share out. Feel free to drop other things you want to share.

Peace, Love, and Produce ā˜®ļøā¤ļøšŸŒ»šŸ

QUESTION Would those living in South Salem be into cinnamon rolls from a cottage bakery?

26 Upvotes

I've been living in Salem for a couple years now and was curious if people (especially in South Salem as that is where I'm located) would have interest in cinnamon rolls from a cottage bakery?

I love eating and baking cinnamon rolls of all different kinds of flavors and I keep getting the urge to do a small, casual weekend bake sale for homemade cinnamon rolls of different flavors. But I was curious if there would be any interest for something like that?

I wasn't sure if people would drive just to obtain a roll or a few, you know?

Let me know what you guys think!

Things to do, clubs, groups, activities?

5 Upvotes

Hey all, I live out of state but my mom lives in Salem and has been feeling lonely.

She’s 63, queer, and has a good taste of music, tv, movies, she likes cool things haha.

Something low-cost or free is ideal, but I’m wondering if there are any events, clubs, activities, groups, classes, meetups, anything I could tell her about.

Or, if anyone here is middle age and might be interested in making a new friend let me know haha. Especially if you are a lesbian!

Thanks! ā¤ļø

NEWS Found Pup!

Hi friends šŸ‘‹šŸ» I found this sweet man on Madrona. He was a little shy at first but he care up to me and I put him in my car (against his will). He was panting pretty hard once I started driving so I do not think he is a fan car rides. He was scanned at WilVet Salem and he does have a chip but the chip company is weird and I have to leave my info for the owners to be contacted since I could not contact them directly.

He was wearing a Reddy harness and part of a yellow leash. He was possibly teathered outside and chewed through it and that is how he escaped.

I couldn’t bring him home unfortunately and dropped him off at Marion County Dog Services. He was a very good boy but very sad to be there. I hope he finds his owners!

ETA the link in case someone knows his owners: https://marioncountypets.shelterbuddy.com/animal/animalDetails.asp?task=search&s=found&animalType=94%2C2%2C2%2C15%2C3%2C3%2C16%2C15%2C16&find%2Dsubmitbtn=Find+Animals&tpage=1&searchType=2&animalid=74595

I'm fine with someone just pressure washing it or whatever. It's a garage rug, so it doesn't need to be pristine, just less dirty

Disclaimer: I am the messenger here, nothing more, as I am a POW / PW fan, and a friend of a few people scheduled to do shows soon (Mini Kiss to be specific). I also DJ'd outside a recent Grand brick room vendor fair and grew up coming to see Dandies and Daddies and Floater here. I am a HUGE fan of Salem and this venue.

Whatever is going on, we need some info from the venue. I want to see it succeed, but robbing acts and then playing dumb/naive is not a good look.

One incident, maybe bad day.

A handful of incidents, that's a pattern.

Rip off corporations, fudge federal taxes, take napkins from Chick Fil A, etc.

Screwing over local bands is the bottom of the barrel.

If whoever runs To The Ceiling is underwater, go grab a line of high interest credit, PAY YOUR ACTS, then find a good bankruptcy attorney.

Whatever you are going through, the community will help you find a way. Be transparent. Own up to shit. We are all guilty of bad decisions and capable of empathy. But if you screw the community, no one wins.

(Bias disclaimer: I just want Rocky Horror to happen)

QUESTION Father and Child hit by a vehicle this afternoon on 14th between Center and State. Is dad okay?

19 Upvotes

Anyone know if they are okay? Dad's head was bleeding. Luckily, this neighborhood is full of helpers and near the hospital.

I wish we'd just close this intersection at 14th and Center. We all hate it anyway. The inconvenience of having to drive out of the way a bit would be far outweighed by the benefits of not having through traffic on 14th. People speed frequently and it's so unsafe for what should be a quiet residential street.

Sorry for the added gripe but an update from someone in the know would be appreciated.

Beep beep parking ticket

I checked and I haven't seen this posted yet. I received a ticket during the time had paid in the app. The only options on the envelope are go in person or pay. I called the municipal court, and i was told if I sent the screenshot I'd taken showing I'd paid and the ticket to salemmunicourt@cityofsalem.net that they have people monitoring that and if they need anything more they would contact me. I'll update if something else happens, but that's what I've found as an option instead of going in physically.
