Sense of Place and Story

On Monday we had Jim come in and talk to us about his time and life here in Salem. I learned about how he moved up to Salem to go to SSU and how he began to get to know everyone in town which was interesting. He told us about Red's Sandwich shop and its reputation and legacy in Salem.

Someone asked the location of Red's which I would have looked up on google, but the directions he gave were simple to understand, so now I don't need to look it up.







I learned what Derby Street was (were he lived for awhile) and how it is like Salem's second main street.
