No surprise at all i used to live on broadway and that area like eazy money said is by far the worst area in salem, i think salem and its police need to do a better job cleaning up this area of drugs,prostitutes, and gang bangers instead of waisting there time and resources parked on ther side of the road waiting to make traffic stops.

What happen to the days of Deer,hunting the things with 4 legs and not 2 legs! sad when it come to people......

Oh! Right off Broadway. I used to live off Broadway. Easily the worst neighborhood in Salem that I've lived in. To include north Lancaster and Lee st and 22nd and now the flats in West Salem. Shootings are not uncommon in any of those areas. But the Broadway area was always the worst.
