@dpangallo.bsky.socialAppreciated the invitation to offer my annual update to the Historic Derby Street Neighborhood Association this evening.
Lots of great discussion about #SalemMA schools, projects underway and upcoming, and - of course - Haunted Happenings!

@dpangallo.bsky.socialIt was an honor to greet veterans from the Chelsea Soldiers Home as they visited #SalemMA for today’s veterans luncheon at Palmer’s Cove Yacht Club.
Thanks to the Club for hosting this special gathering and to the Salem High School JROTC for volunteering to help out!
@dpangallo.bsky.socialThis week I spoke to the City Council about the zoning ordinance I’ve proposed to prohibit AI data centers in #SalemMA.
For centuries Salem has borne the brunt of our industrial past. I don’t believe we should volunteer ourselves or future generations to continue that legacy.

@dpangallo.bsky.socialLots of Witches spirit on display at tonight’s #SalemMA High School football home opening game! Great teamwork by the players, tons of positive energy from the cheer squad, and loved the performance by our amazing marching band.
@dpangallo.bsky.socialThe latest chronic absenteeism data for Salem Public Schools reflects the hard work of our educators and the deep commitment of our students.
We want every student in our city to feel joy, enthusiasm, and belonging when they step into a #SalemMA classroom.
@dpangallo.bsky.socialCongrats to the latest residents who completed our City Academy program this week!
Through City Academy, participants learn more about the people whose work makes #SalemMA work. If you’re interested in applying to this civic engagement program, keep an eye on www.salemma.gov/mayor later this year.
@dpangallo.bsky.socialWe’ve secured a new $1M MassDOT grant to maintain the #SalemMA Skipper on-demand ride share service for additional months! In the meantime, we’re working on a sustainable funding plan to keep this affordable transportation program in operation permanently. More soon!
@dpangallo.bsky.socialGreat time at the Salem Chamber coffee connection this morning at Gallows Hill Artist Studios!
Local artists make #SalemMA the special place that it is, and the work being done by the creators at Gallows Hill Artists Studio contributes to that.

@bewitchedbook.bsky.social56 years ago in this week’s (Sept 5-11, 1970) TV Guide, a mini-article spoke about the ‘Bewitched’ cast and crew filming episodes that past summer in Salem, MA. The cover was Elizabeth Taylor, Lucille Ball, and Richard Burton.

@nsprogressives.bsky.socialThe City of #SalemMa is getting a new seal. It’s about damned time. Thank you to the 8 councillors who voted to change it.

@dpangallo.bsky.socialWe also announced that, after a multi-year evaluation by Welcoming America, #SalemMA has achieved the organization’s 3-star certification as a Welcoming City - only the second community in Massachusetts to be certified!
@dpangallo.bsky.socialToday is the first day of Welcoming Week and in #SalemMA we celebrated in two special ways.
This morning was the annual U.S. naturalization ceremony at the House of the Seven Gables, as we welcomed new Americans hoping to add their own chapters to our nation’s 250 year old history.
@wickedgoodbooks.bsky.socialHere’s an appetizer of tasty titles for your palate. 😋
