if there were lobster claws in the barf, I'm guessing someone homeless does not deserve blame
I live downtown too, and on Saturday nights, often wake up when the bars let out to people screaming at one another, cars honking, a few motorcycles, and next morning, tossed plastic cups and barf to step over. It's what we deal with living in the heart of Salem. I spent a year living in NYC, and barf isn't the half of it there.
Post clean-up, a reminder of the benefits of living downtown would be to walk to coffee and a delicious artisan baked good š
P.S. I'd use a combo of boiling water and the snow shovel!
Dump a pitcher of water on it.
It's not illegal to vomit, and is usually an involuntary reflex, so I'm not sure a police officer could have prevented this.
I already thought about that, the water is just gonna drain into the path where people walk. Iāll have to scrape it off the landing. Then proceed to wash. Thanks for the suggestion.
Im from Cleveland and visited Boston/salem in May. It was odd seeing homeless in a suburb that appears to be very wealthy. Im guessing itās because how well connected public transportation is. Cleveland transportation sucks so the homeless donāt hang out in the wealthy suburbs and the local cops would probably drive them back to Cleveland bc the wealthy Karens would throw a fit on facebook. They hang out in public square outside the casino or by the off ramps into the city.
Anyway thats my unsolicited observation. Maybe one day ill buy a 750k 600 sq ft condo in Salem š
Salem isnāt wealthy though, itās seen a fair bit of gentrification in recent years. But Salem has historically been a blue collar town, we also have one of the only homeless shelters
The homeless issue in Salem isn't as bad as I've seen it in other cities. Including when I lived in Ohio City a while back. This it's for sure a drunk local or tourist who puked.
You know, it should never have been done on someone's doorstep, but somebody could have sudden allergic reaction to shellfish. I did in my 30s after an entire lifetime of being able to eat it. Now I have to have an Epi pen
I see, there is a garden right next to where it happened. Anyways it is probably a drunk. Last month I saw a 21 yr old do the same thing next to the mall entrance.
This sub lol. Anyone who has the nerve to suggest the hoards of homeless roving the city are problematic get downvoted.
ETA I guess they love drunks, too

Yeah, itās definitely not the dehumanizing language youāre using here, or the fact that youāre blaming unhoused people for something that happened a block from a bunch of bars on a Saturday night and was much more likely done by a 22 year old whoās probably sleeping off a hangover in a comfortable bed in their parentsā house.
Drunk people behaving badly is an annoying, unfortunate, and pretty universal problem when you choose to live in a neighborhood with a bunch of bars. Itās not a uniquely Salem problem, and even Salem has lots of suburban neighborhoods where residents donāt have to deal with issues like that.

Unfortunately, if you donāt have a hose I think dumping pitcher after pitcher of water on it is your best option. Good luck
On the 5th bucket of hot water after scrubbing with soap. Thank you!
Iāve seen most Simpsons episodes but must have missed the one where Homer throws up on the front stoop. Guess Iām missing that reference.
Youāre joking huh!
Sounds like you need to dump a pitcher of water on it

?? it sounds like you want to suffer for no reason. Dump a bunch of water on it and be done with it.
Nope, it was all dried and caked. Lobster claws and all. Been in food service for 20+ years. That would only hit the surface and not fix the problem.
Lobster claws? Clearly itās gotta be Marbleheadās fault.
With that username idk what to believe š

I guess im too old to get that turnt in a hallmark town.
I'm with you on that.

Oh, I have no doubt it was a drunk. People are getting out of hand everywhere
Downvoted for cleaning up vomit. Sounds like a nice city to live in.

*takes sip of milk that has passed its prime* the homeless must be stopped
I heard they caused sea level rise and also Salemās traffic jams
Yep š
