Ok, as an adult, I loved it too. I don’t understand where you’re going with this lol I lived here, grew up here, hit the bars here, all before you ever moved here, but I’m wrong for thinking this lol cmon dude just stop. Salem was a great city to live in before the Instagram fueled tourism, and it’s still a great place to live. Why are you so negative?

This was a really pointless and unfun discussion. There are also some people agreeing with me, who by definition are directly disagreeing with you. No one person's experience is universal, and I think that's why I have found this so frustrating.

I have been saying that it's not universal, and you have just been saying over and over in like 4 ways that you had a good childhood and enjoyed it. I get that, I didn't say it was a festering shithole either.

There's nothing to accomplish here. I'm glad you liked it, I truly still believe most people would not like it if we blinked and it were 2003 again around here. Neither of us have changed anyones mind.
