what i like and dislike about salem

The one thing I like about Salem is how the people here, for the most part, are very friendly and layed back. Another reason I like Salem is the fact that there is country just a couple minutes away. If I want to just get away for a bit, I can take a 5 minute drive and just disapear. But these days they are building way to much and taking away the one thing Salem is known for and taking that away is not right. Because they are building and taking away the green and beautiful country that has been here longer then anything else.
