STRONG Salem is for everyone who wants to help and participate in getting Salem, Oregon, to quit chasing Growth Ponzi Scheme plans and instead become a resilient, fiscally responsible place that lives by the wisdom that "Communities exist for the health and enjoyment of those who live in them, not for the convenience of those who drive through them, fly over them, or exploit their real estate for profit."

Well observed

Yeah.. even for those who drive as their primary source of transportation (like, my family :D) the place is so crappily located. Not only do I get lost every time I try to get over to that area (since all the roads are curvy, so you think you are going the right way...) but getting across portland road is total hell, even in a car. I can't imagine letting my kids bike or walk across it when they get older.
Link takes me to a flikr page!
