As others said, Friday is more of a WFH day for a lot of people but today did seem quieter than usual for a Friday at least on my line on the commuter rail

Rather them than me. Salem is a nice enough little town if you’re sat in the beer garden at Notch by the coast there with a few beers but nothing could possess me (see what I did there?) to go any time around Halloween

Yeah, I am in the same boat in that I like Salem for a visit about 9 months out of the year.

Live in Salem….can confirm. Three more days before I can enjoy leaving my house again.

When I came into North Station at 8:30am I noticed a number of people dressed up for Salem, so I think there's something to that.

I want to say it's too early for that shit at 8:30am but it's honestly probably the best time to go. It'll be crazy later.

I'm pretty sure that's what these people had in mind. And they were smart enough to take the train instead of drive.
