ICYDK – Salem Is Secure, Vintage Show, & Rat Birth Control
Congratulations to Salem, you are the safest city in Oregon, according to WalletHub. I guess safest isn’t right, it’s really a list of securest cities. Salem came in at 25 in the country, and it’s due to traffic deaths and assaults and employment rate & rate of uninsured. So… Salem residents, I guess… leave your car running in the driveway; you’re fine.
Vintage lovers, heads up. Portland is already a destination for vintage shops and classic re-furbs, but this weekend at Expo Center, the Rose City Vintage market makes its return: vintage clothing, furniture, memorabilia, vintage toys, stuff like that. I don’t think this is a place to find, like “eBay-resell-for-more” stuff, because that’s what these people are doing.
And finally, rats are not a big deal in Portland; it’s not like New York which is kinda famous for it, but they are here, and officials want to slow their growth… so here’s their solution… rat birth control. Yes, put the rats on “the pill,” that’ll do it. Just hand out little tiny little pink clamshells and have the rats set a daily alarm on their phone.
