Fish Tale

Sign at McGrath's Fish House. I can't promise that this is true. But they are very tasty.

Noted

Interesting notice posted in the cafe at Mission Mill Museum.

Curious

I'm pretty sure this isn't ketchup, unless Heinz has changed it's recipe. Saw this sign at Sizzler's on Lancaster Drive.

Polite Orders

Household hazardous waste disposal is available in Marion County at the Salem/Keizer transfer Station located on Deer Park Dr. SE, just east of the state Corrections on Highway 22 east. This is the place to dispose of leftover oil-based paints, thinners, used motor oil, etc. if your local trash collector doesn't provide the service. There is no fee. You enter the drive-through, pop the trunk and they take care of it. These kinds of products should never be dumped down a storm drain or in open ditch, or flushed, or put out with the regular trash that ends up in a land fill. Proper disposal--it's a good thing!

Beginnings

Located where Mill Creek flows under Broadway NE. The brick building mentioned is across the street and is more recognized as Boon's Treasury (a tavern, now McMenamins) named for John D. Boon who served as Oregon Territorial Treasurer and as Oregon's first State Treasurer.

Here is a photo of the house referred to as the first built in Salem, before it was moved to the Mission Mill Museum.

While at the Coast,

It's a good thing for visitors to pay attention to the signs showing escape routes. Regular drills are held in local schools which are in the zone.

May Theme Day

City Daily Photo theme for May is 'Numbers'. There are 181 members posting today from cities around the world -- see them HERE. I was going to post a photo of a local gasoline pump, but it is too depressing.

This is the main post office on 25th St. SE and the zip code for a large area of town.
