I am tempted to just write “Do iiiiit, Salem is the best” and leave it at that. However, I am assuming you clicked on this link for some legit thoughts. \ud83d\ude1b I fell in love with Salem the very first time I visited, and since then it has always been my happy place<\/em>. I felt a connection right from the beginning and I know many who share my experience in that. There is honestly no place like this strange little city on the north shore.<\/p>\n

Everyone is going to have their own thoughts and opinions, their own reasons for being drawn to Salem. Today on the blog are a few of my reasons. A few of the things I think makes Salem stand out from the crowd so much.<\/p>\n

The first thing that I love about the witch city is the welcoming energy. Salem is incredibly LGBTQIA+ friendly<\/a> and accepting of all walks of life. It is also a sanctuary city<\/a>. While that was a bit of a hot button issue, it still signifies that the city is a place that embraces diversity.<\/p>\n

Next is one of the best parts, if you ask me: There is almost always something going on. There are festivals every season, local events hosted by Salem business owners all the time and new things being added to the calendars<\/a> daily. The fall is the most busy time of year for obvious reasons, but even if you come in the middle of the winter you can still find something to do. A perfect example of this is the upcoming Salem’s So Sweet festival<\/a>! Right in the middle of frigid winter but still awesome. (Psst!! Stay tuned to my social media for coverage and blog for images of the festival.)<\/p>\n

Another reason that Salem is so great is the proximity to…everything. In the main downtown area, there are hundreds of restaurants<\/a>, businesses<\/a> and attractions<\/a> all within walking distance of each other. Sure, you can hop the trolley<\/a> to expedite the process, but Salem is largely a walking city which I think is fantastic. It’s super easy to park the car somewhere and spend the whole day wandering and taking it in.<\/p>\n

Next is one that many people might not realize. Salem has a fantastic<\/em> support system in place for its businesses. Between Salem Main Streets<\/a>, The Salem Chamber of Commerce<\/a> and many more, the city truly supports its own which I love.<\/p>\n

Lastly, there is something for everyone. It doesn’t much matter if you’re coming into the city for the history<\/a>, the witchy stuff<\/a>, something spooky, shopping or something else…you’ll find it.<\/p>\n
