Nick Meier

Nick Meier is a Southern Oregon comedian who hails from the Midwest. You’ll get the feeling that a family member is telling jokes in your living room with enough presence that even the kids listen. He has a unique perspective on the many things that make life funny from his travels across the country and has found his calling in using those experiences to blend all audiences together.

Is this happening in Salem that you know of? I don’t know anyone who has gotten it.

I have cancer and this is concerning (even without)

Sorry if asked and answered. i know the whole thing is a hot mess, but just hoping it’s not common here yet.

Off topic. Blackberries are falling off bushes. Go get them!

Thankyou for any help.

My Xbox is a little bit dusty and just needs a good clean, I also want it to be looked at just to see if there's anything wrong with it that could be fixed to make it run faster. I don't want to get scammed if anyone knows a good place to go to I'd appreciate it!

What’s your guys favorite Mac and cheese from Salem ?🤬

Rad.

Not cool that someone has had a cultural pass 3 weeks past when it was due! You’ve not cost 2-3 entire families the opportunity to go.

This is why Gilbert Children’s House pulled their passes I believe.

If anyone has any other Free opportunities for kids this Summer please lmk since I think the library’s system is being abused in some cases.

Hey y'all,

This wonderful feline has been blessing our back yard for the past few months around Center and 45th. They're obviously not a stray. They come really close to our back door, they seem to be drawn to our two indoor cats as they communicate through the sliding door, and... Well, you can just tell this was someone's baby.

If anyone recognizes this amazing cat, please message me. They're not forthcoming enough to approach humans, but we've slowly been winning them over with food and water.

If we can wrangle em, we're going to get them checked out at the vet and make sure they're healthy. But if someone knows where their home is, we'd love to help.

Hoping we can help this furry friend find their human family.

South Gateway Neighbors is hosting its inaugural information night! We're a neighborhood association, meaning we're one of Salem's 17 organizations of residents working together to build community and facilitate communication between our neighborhood and the city government.

To that end, we're trying something new: hosting information nights with guest speakers on topics of interest to residents. We often have guest speakers at our board meetings, but time is often limited, so we've arranged to have an entirely separate meeting dedicated just to our guest speaker. Tonight's guest speaker will be city traffic engineer Kara Hall, who will answer your questions about traffic!

The meeting is tonight (July 22) from 6-8 p.m. at Baxter Hill Community Hall, 1780 Baxter Hill Rd. S.E. Everyone is welcome to attend! If you can, please submit questions ahead of time to our chair at [email protected]. We will also try to have the meeting on Zoom. Please see our July agenda for the link and login instructions. Note that while our monthly board meetings start at 6:30 p.m., the information night will start at 6 p.m.!

Are there any topics you'd like to see covered at future information nights?

Long story short I was involved in a car accident on 12th and Center right in the middle of the intersection. Guy ran a red after train barriers came up, I couldn't stop in time, t boned him. No injuries on either side.

There was a witness but I foolishly did not get the name and phone number. No business around got video of the incident either.

Did anyone happen to witness the incident, or better yet have camera footage of it?

Thank you for any help, recommendations are welcome!

I’m a local artist and I got sent some samples of a kids paper craft kit I worked on. Is there some good after school programs or youth centers nearby I could donate some of these too? Would prefer a non profit and not a paid daycare.

If anyone knows a place let me know!
