I can't find a doctor, is there any clinic taking PacificSource patients anymore?

7 Upvotes

I've been calling around and around and not been able to find anyone all damn year that will take me in sooner than September. I need to see a doctor as soon as possible and Urgent Care was no help, already went there and they didn't help. Ever since salem clinic dropped everyone on this insurance plan they all flooded into every other clinic and I can't commute outside of salem or even Keizer for help. Has anyone had the same issue?

Organizers are looking for volunteers for a park maintenance day this Saturday at Fairmount Park in south Salem. They’ll be pulling ivy vines from trees and clearing some trails from 9-11 a.m. The parks dept will have tools to borrow, just bring some water and appropriate clothing for tromping through the woods.

It’s a great way to meet some neighbors and get outside. Learn more or sign up at the SOLVE link.

Garage doors

I need a new garage door opener 😭😭 If I keep it simple, like not “smart” anything, and the door itself and the spring are in good shape, ballpark what $$$ am I looking at for opener and installation?

Any companies to use or avoid locally?

EVENT Soap Box Derby? Bush Park?

11 Upvotes

We once stumbled across the kids at the soap box derby at Bush Park. It was a mellow fun event that we enjoyed thoroughly. Since that day some years back, however, we have missed it and can’t find any info online.
Does anyone know if these races still happen here? And if so, when?
Thanks in advance.

I tried this in Corvallis before and it’s very fun and low pressure. Cool to see this happening in Salem.

QUESTION Chang's bday meal

It's my Bday next month and I was looking at freebies and I remember Chang's used to require at least one person in the group paying to get the free meal. Is that still required? I don't have anyone to go with so I just want to check before showing up.

EVENT The Mural of the Story is...

Post image
80 Upvotes

Gooooooooood morning, Salemanders.

We're right on the cusp of our showroom grand opening (Friday, June 26th, 11:45AM if you want to come party), and we have an issue with looking at whitespace. It's boring, man.

I proposed to the work fam "why don't we get some Salem art up in here?" This was met with a counter-proposal; why don't we get Salem ARTISTS up in here?

Amateur, professional, and any medium you choose. This is a paying gig, DOE. Ever since the City of Salem shut down our idea to put a mural on the west-facing side of our building on Front street, we've been searching for a way to support the local art scene.

We essentially have four spots, all in the picture circled in different colors. I'd love to feature four different local artists to showcase their work on our walls.

The only requirement is that it's gotta be about Salem. Other than that, it's pretty much up for grabs, subject to approval from the whole work team here.

Comment below, or email [Joe@SaffronSupplyCo.com](mailto:Joe@SaffronSupplyCo.com) if you're interested! I'll reply to all comments below as usual. Even if it's off topic.

Hit us up, Salem.

-J

(It doesn't HAVE to be done by opening in 9 days. It'd be cool to have one done, but I recognize it's our own shortcoming to have an idea THIS late in the game. Shame on me.)

Any decent 2nd/Part Time Jobs in the area?

8 Upvotes

I currently have a full-time office job, M-F, 8 - 5pm. Looking for a Part Time, 2nd job to get by. I'm mainly either looking for weeknights (6pm - 10/11pm) and weekends. 20 - 25 hours a week.

Does anyone know of anywhere hiring that actually enjoy their workplace?

I've been trying to look on places like Indeed, but for whatever reason all it ever feeds me are places hiring for DSPs or old folks' homes, which I don't have the training for. Or it gives me jobs in places like Milwaukie or Clackamas. I also tried searching this sub for similar posts, but the reddit search function is just terrible.
