He's Back

Salem, OR

With Halloween one day away, neighbors were hard at work decorating yards and converting garages to haunted mazes. Kids in the neighborhood should have a good time parading through the streets. I have my fingers crossed for a rainless Friday night.

Dia de los Muertos

"Hispanic Celebrations: Dia de los Muertos to Dia de los Reyes Exhibit"
October 15, thru January 15, 2009

The World Beat Gallery, Suite 211B
189 Liberty St. NE.
Salem OR. 97301


Dia de los Muertos isn't until November 1 - 2, but my family has been hit with the flu bug and today, for my household, it was quite literally, the day of the walking dead. I'm hoping tomorrow brings a healthier day.

Trinity Ballroom

Reed Opera House
189 Liberty Street NE
Salem, OR 97301
I've been fortunate enough to attend a few events in this ballroom, on the third floor of one of downtown Salem's oldest buildings. The high ceilings, red bricks, tall arched windows and gold chandeliers create a warm, festive atmosphere. The best aspect of this location is it's high vantage point over the downtown area. The view of Salem out of the windows at night can't be beat.

2-Points


Salem, OR

To spare my son any embarassment, I won't disclose how many attempts were made before he finally made this basket. On the positive side of things...he has all winter to practice.
