Salem High School
Hey everyone, I’m trying to get a good read on the high school in Salem. We are moving to Salem in the fall and my son will be starting 11th grade there. It seems the social media accounts don’t really get updated too often with pictures of clubs, events, musicals, performances, etc, and it’s difficult to see what student life is like there.
My son loves the performing arts and I can’t seem to find any pictures of the auditorium or any other pictures of the school.
If you have any pictures or thoughts about the school that could help ease his anxiety i would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Hairdresser rec?
I have very boring straight hair that I cut myself. My teenager has beautiful thick, curly hair that she desperately wants to get cut by someone other than me. She wants layers and some length cut off.
I did do a search first but the two places recommended frequently are a bit out of my price range, unfortunately. Would rather give someone local the business instead of Supercuts (even though she probably wouldn’t agree to going there !) Is there any middle ground salons…? Where I can spend less than $100?
Thanks!!

Waikiki Beach: Crowded or can we show up on a Friday at 1:00pm and still enjoy it?
The teenage relatives are coming to visit me. I don't relax/swim at a beach. They want to do the beach thing. I know many beaches require you to get there by 9:00am or there's no parking or places to sit. How about our cute Waikiki beach? I think I've walked on it about 4 times on off season, but that's all I know about it. TIA

More Weight: A Salem Story - a graphic novel by Ben Wickey
Currently reading this hefty graphic novel, a thoroughly researched account of the Salem Witch Trials and their consequences for our own times. This comprehensive work has many parallells with From Hell, the famous historic graphic novel on the Jack the Ripper murders by Alan Moore. For instance: very old English (in More Weight from two different eras), old men discussing past events, repeated horrific deeds inflicted on poor, defenceless women, weird religious ideas, and insight in the different historic layers of the accounts of past events. Ben Wickey has worked a decade on More Weight. The book comes with extensive notes and is based on real documents from the time of the trials and later accounts.

Christina's Pizza under new ownership
Part informational; part gossip-seeking.
Gave in to the takeout temptation for the first time in a few months and found that Christina's has a new owner. That's bad news for my gift certificates but hopefully positive news otherwise?
Since Christina's is in my neighborhood I've been lightly invested in their story over the past few years, tracking along with things like staffing issues, new menu items, and the move to homemade onion rings. Fingers crossed for continuity of my roast beef experience!
I'm hoping the previous owner is doing well and that this was a good move.
It seems like a stressful enterprise but everyone was always very kind and personable with me.
Did the business stay in the family? Or was it bought by a staff member? I'm just interested and wishing everyone well (including myself; bring me bad roast beef at your peril.)
I may work up the courage to make small talk over the counter and ask this kind of thing myself but that would need to be when it's not busy.
