Announcing SALEM SPINS Bike Sharing Program!
A new bicycle sharing program, provided by the City of Salem and Salem State University, will open near the Hawthorne Hotel and at the Salem State Central Campus on Monday, September 26th.
How does Salem Spins work?
For the downtown hub, located at the intersection of Essex Street and Hawthorne Boulevard, you simply need to visit the front desk at the Hawthorne Hotel, where you’ll be supplied
with a key to unlock one of the bicycles. Although there is no charge to borrow a bike, you will need to show a credit card and valid ID for security purposes. It’s an easy transaction,
and an easy and unique way to explore historic Salem…and it's FREE!
A second hub, limited to use by Salem State students and faculty, is located at the Salem State Campus Police Station. A Clipper Card is required for use of the bicycles there.
Salem Spins will be offered from September through November and will re-open after the winter season in March (schedules are weather permitting and the program is active only
during daylight hours).
Program underwriters and sponsors include the Green Communities Division of the MA Department of Energy Resources, the Hawthorne Hotel, and Salem Cycle.
For more information, please contact Paul Marquis, the City of Salem Energy and Sustainability Manager, at pmarquis@salem.com, or 978.619.5693

Last Weeks of Salem Farmers Market!
There is a wide variety of locally-produced fresh, and organic produce, as well as breads, pies, local honey, seafood, and crafts. The market is open rain or shine. Check it out!
Parking in October
As we get closer to Halloween weekend and the number of tourists increase, parking in the neighborhood will become more difficult to find. Markwood Management would like to remind tenants and owners not to use the side drop off area for long-term parking. This is especially problematic during this month.
Be forewarned, Markwood may need to be very stringent in the application of the 20-30 minute parking rule. We will be especially on the lookout for vehicles that may not belong to building tenants (i.e., out-of-state plates) as many tourists feel parking in that space may be worth the risk. Don't take the risk of being towed.
