Salem Main Streets Takes Over The Salem Takeover

We had the pleasure of participating in The Salem Takeover on Instagram this weekend. If you missed it, we’re reposting here so you get a glimpse of an October weekend with Salem Main Streets.

 

Good morning, Salem, this is @salemmainstreets taking over! We’re a nonprofit focusing on the vitality of downtown Salem, and we’ve got a LOT to do this weekend! First up, we’re at the #salempartnership meeting, where @mayorkimdriscoll is giving an update in the @imagine_salem initiative. #salem #salemma #thingstodoinsalem #thingstodoinsalemma #salemmass #salemmassachusetts #takeoverig #takeoveraccount #thesalemtakeover @salemmainstreets @thingstodoinsalem #igersmass #igersmassachusetts

We have some serious #infoboothpride! The info booth we operate in October is staffed by 70+ resident #salemvolunteers and greets over 24,000 visitors annually. So far this month, we’ve assisted visitors from 6 continents (still no Antarctica! Where are my penguins?!). #salem #salemma #thingstodoinsalem #thingstodoinsalemma #thewitchcity #witchcityguide #northshore #salemmass #salemmassachusetts #infobooth #visitors #igersmass #igersmassachusetts #halloweeninsalem #octoberinsalem #takeoverig #takeoveraccount #thesalemtakeover @thingstodoinsalem @salemmainstreets

We provide support to over 200 locally-owed businesses in the downtown! We managed to grab a few seconds to check in on @shopoceanchic while enjoying the gorgeous weather on #pickeringwharf right now! #salem #salemma #thingstodoinsalem #thingstodoinsalemma #thewitchcity #witchcityguide #northshore #salemmass #salemmassachusetts #igersmass #igersmassachusetts #halloweeninsalem #octoberinsalem #takeoverig #takeoveraccount #thesalemtakeover @thingstodoinsalem @salemmainstreets

Sustenance! After my odometer indicated that I’d already walked more than three miles around Salem today, this apple cheddar biscuit from @jodibeebakes was just what the doctor ordered. #salem #salemma #thingstodoinsalem #thingstodoinsalemma #thewitchcity #salemmass #salemmassachusetts #northshore #jodibeebakes @salemmainstreets @thingstodoinsalem #takeoverig #takeoveraccount #thesalemtakeover #igersmass #igersmassachusetts

Every year during @hauntdhappnings, #duchessgigi greets hundreds and hundreds of visitors to raise funds for our Holiday Tree. Hard to believe, but we actually have a lot of #salemholidayhappenings planning to do this weekend! #salem #salemma #thingstodoinsalem #thingstodoinsalemma #thewitchcity #witchcityguide #northshore #salemmass #salemmassachusetts #gigi #duchessgigi @salemmainstreets @thingstodoinsalem #hauntedhappenings #igersmass #igersmassachusetts #salemmainstreets #takeoverig #takeoveraccount #thesalemtakeover

While thousands of tourists enjoyed @hauntdhappnings yesterday, our intern Hannah was hard at work on new strategies to engage residents all year round. Hannah is a @salemstate MSW grad student, and we love when she uses fancy social work terms like “participatory active research”. #latergram #salem #salemma #thingstodoinsalem #thingstodoinsalemma #northshore #salemmass #salemmassachusetts @thingstodoinsalem @salemmainstreets #salemmainstreets #takeoverig #takeoveraccount #thesalemtakeover #octoberinsalem #visitsalem #visitsalemma #igersmass #igersmassachusetts

What’s a day off? With the #salemfarmersmarket Winter Markets coming up fast, the “home office” was in full swing today. #salem #salemma #thingstodoinsalem #thingstodoinsalemma #thewitchcity #witchcityguide #northshore #salemmass #salemmassachusetts #takeoverig #takeoveraccount #thesalemtakeover @salemmainstreets @thingstodoinsalem #salemmainstreets #igersmass #igersmassachusetts
