    We live near Oregon city, and baseball is my partner's happy place. So we've been to Hillsboro Hops…read moregames and Salem Keizer volcanoes games (and lots of other baseball both major and minor league)- with no real loyalty to either team. Pros- the stadium is old, but still pretty nice. They've done some updating. I was surprised by the number and variety of food vendors. Cons- The announcer was not very good and made a lot of mistakes. "Next at bat, #16".... um, no, #16 was the kid who was just out. He said the sound system was new or recently improved. But the sound was terrible- was way too loud, and scratchy. They played ridiculously obnoxious canned sound effects all night long- lots of buzzer sounds, a line from a movie, the law and order dun-dun, 80s video games beeping, air horn effect, so many dayo's, short clips from so so many songs (lots from the 80s), loud cartoony Woohoos, and much more. Constant overly loud scratchy noise all night. Two lines of a song into two lines of another song. The umpire had to tell them to stop playing loud music while a player was at bat. If you find baseball relaxing or like the pace of it, Salem Keizer might not be the place. I have never heard sound effects like this. A kid from the opposing team got hit while at bat, and they played a loud dun-dun-dun, which was pretty tacky. Any time anything happened and anytime nothing was happening. They played 5-10 seconds of easily 30+ different random songs- EMF unbelievable, rhinestone cowboy, dirty deeds done dirt cheap, what is love, boot scootin boogie, 9 to 5, shut up and dance, Batman and A-team themes, etc etc etc. It was so obnoxious and gimmicky that it detracted from the baseball. I don't know whether I want to go back there.

    The owners of the Mavericks league are ruining baseball for the Salem area. their stadium is run…read moredown, seating is broken and jagged, missing cup holders expose metal arms in the seats and are a clear safety hazard. The management of the league is piss poor and they treat their teams, players and coaches like crap. I really wish they'd hire an actual umpire crew and not the good ol boys club. It's embarrassing watching an umpire forget a baseball rule and then eject a manager for trying to correct him. Hearing things like "that's a mavericks league strike" only further diminish your reputation. I doubt this will even reach someone who can and WILL make a change but fans should know. Don't waste your money if you actually like baseball and watching a competitive game supported by knowledgeable umpires who don't have a personal vendetta with players. Your money would be better spent at the Keizer little league fields watching 8u baseball.

    Salem Cinema is Salem's repertory movie theater with several screens, and stellar programming…read more They will show select first run films that no one else gets. Movies need to show in theaters to qualify for an Academy Awards nomination. If they were made for streaming, and they need theatrical, Salem Cinema may get them. That was the case for Kathryn Bigelow's House of Dynamite. It's a Netflix property so most people will see it on a small screen. It deserves a big screen like the Salem Cinema. The Salem Cinema is in a modern building with some vintage interior panels. It is very clean. The rest rooms are clean. The theaters have great seats and good sound. I did not hear any sound bleed between theaters. They do a good job with their vintage graphic design. Where the Salem Cinema could improve, thus the loss of a star, is to expand their food and drink options. They have a large seating area in the lobby. It was empty. There is a dedicated parking lot. Keep an eye on their schedule. You may find something new or old that is not playing elsewhere.

    Great venue for independent films and special showings. I've been here many times but have never…read moreremembered to check in until today. I went to see Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with a friend today; the movie was playing in honor of Robert Redford. As many times as I've seen this film since it first came out in 1969, seeing it again on the big screen was fabulous! Popcorn for lunch is always a treat and the popcorn here is wonderful, especially with the addition of Parmesan cheese and nutritional yeast. The staff is friendly and patient, even if one is decision-challenged when trying to decide on what to drink. Looking forward to the next time I can have popcorn for lunch!

    We recently went to pick apples and was surprised at all the upick veggies. They had corn,…read morecucumbers, watermelon, peppers tomato's, flower and pears. We picked a watermelon and 1/2 bucket of apples. I feel like the apples were either under ripe or overripe. 1/2 bucket $8.50 full bucket $17. Watermelon upick is $6. They did have already picked buckets that you could just purchase a higher price. I didn't catch the price of the veggies or flowers. I will go back to check out the pears in a few weeks.

    I only recently was made aware of this place, and I'm glad I was…read more At the time I visited, around the middle of October, they had pumpkins as well as flowers on offer. I was here for apples, and they had a ton of options. They were very friendly and patiently explained the process. You fill buckets and then pay at the end. They have pull carts so you can move multiple buckets around. There are so many varieties of apples! There is a chart at the entrance to the orchard with the names and what purpose is best for each kind of apple (eating, baking, applesauce). They also let you sample the apples to help with the selection process. The orchards extend farther than was apparently from the parking lot. It was peaceful at the far end of some of the rows, and we found plenty of apples. It can be muddy, so boots are probably a good idea. It was a lovely fall day, with blue skies. This was a fun way to connect with the season and to become more familiar with where some of our food comes from. Highly recommended.
