You can always count on good food and good company at @wildpearrestaurant 😊 (photo taken pre COVID)

With working from home becoming more and more common, a Coworking Space is a much needed break from laundry, kids, dishes, and all forms of procrastinating. @thegraylab is in Downtown Salem and offers mixed work spaces, a rentable photo studio, and a rentable conference room.

This weather has me ready for patio seating and ordering a Madras (cranberry cider with a splash of orange juice) from @1859_cider_co 🙌🏻

Feeling hungry? @kraftworkstaphouse is guaranteed to hit the spot 😳🤤

Looking forward to another beautiful weekend of outdoor seating in Downtown Salem. Summer Streets is happening and all over downtown you can enjoy some of your favorite meals, coffees, and cocktails with extended patio seating!

I always love to see what fun new things The Arbor has for sale. What are your favorite downtown retail shops?

Our local restaurants deserve all of the love during these times. Who has been to @indiapalacesalem recently?

Craving something a little sweet? The cupcake selection at @brandysallcitysweets is mouth watering 🥰

Who is your favorite business that you’d love to see featured on our page? Tag them in the comments!

Welcome to Downtown Bentley's Coffee! Those iced drinks are just what we’ve been needing for this hot summer heat!

I spy with my Salem eye... can anyone guess what building this is?

Take a look at “The Mexican Macho Dawg” from @lasgorditasricas 👀 They opened up amongst the pandemic and we are so glad they did! Anyone else about to be a new regular for lunch? 🤤

Alley businesses! We’ve got a few of them downtown. Who are your favorites?

I might spend the whole day dreaming about this big plate of clams from Rudy's Steakhouse 🥰

New in town! Check out Caakes. Downtown’s new skate and apparel shop, located off of Ferry st 🤘🏻

Anyone else prepping for one last Summer hurrah as soon as the smoke clears? @salemsummit has everything needed for a quick escape to the outdoors.

Calling all fiber artists! @wildknitssalem recently opened on High and Chemeketa St. Get all of your yarn, tools, and patterns locally in one stop! 🧶

An oldie but a goodie! Grabbing a drink at @magoosalem is basically a Downtown rite of passage.

@thesunbearden is a newly opened plant shop ran by husband and wife team, Julie and Brenton. The two of them opened in The Reed during the pandemic and are quickly winning the hearts of Salem plant lovers!

Clayton and Aaron chose Salem to be their home and the location for the brick and mortar store, Bearded Oregon. Within the past year amidst the pandemic they also opened @alleyflorals, got married and spearheaded the Salem First Friday Art Walk!
