Childs' plaza is named after the owner of the plaza. It's not because it's a children's plaza... The persons surname is Childs.

Right next to this plaza is an entire “Let’s go Brandon” store. Checking all the boxes.

Oh my God I’m laughing so hard, I totally didn’t get it, even after reading the comments below about Google maps I didn’t see the child’s plaza part for two whole minutes. 😂😂😂

That's what I figured, but still a funny coincidence. I've driven by this hundreds of times and only just noticed it. Notable contrast with the whole Tuscan Village with 4k 2br apartments just up the road. Only in NH.

I grew up in the neighborhood right behind here! I remember it was kind of a big zoning deal when it opened but honestly, the controversy kind of fizzled. There used to be a convenience store there called the Peli Deli, complete with a pelican mascot sign. In the 80s, when i was like 7 years old my Dad used to give me a couple bucks to walk down and buy him a pack of Merit Golds, and any leftover money I could buy whatever candy I wanted. Then I would skip home, hand my Dad his cigs, and go play outside til the streetlights came on. Hes quit 25 years ago and my parents sold my childhood home like 10 years ago. Salem was a nice place to grow up!

Moonlite Reader is a great/non sketch adult store, I buy plenty of toys and props at the Amherst location but I’m sure the Salem store is just as nice. 😉🍆

What? Amore Pizza? It’s been there for years. You’re in for a treat.

This is right next door to the Let’s Go Brandon store.

Salem has always been the armpit of NH.

Let’s not forget the gas station there has some of the best prices in the area.

The unholy trinity is a church, a gun store, and a usurer (payday lender, title loans, cash for gold, etc). It’s proof that there is no god, because if there was, the goods and services peddled next door would introduce the bloodsucking capitalist parasite to Jesus one way or the other. By choice or by force.

I used to live in Methuen right across the border (literally 3 minutes) and did all my shopping in Salem. I had to think where this was because the sign wasn’t familiar to me since I moved to Arizona in 2021… took me a good 5 minutes trying to figure it out…. Until I saw the license plate for Highline Motors and then I realised where it was.

Moonlite has been there for a long time. I once testified there against a proposed ordinance putting a nonsensical set of location restrictions on stores that sell videos that "constitute sexual conduct." The ordinance passed but the store evidently survived. The thought of a DVD being sexual conduct is weird.

I work down there. There is a gun store right next door behind it. There is also a tattoo place where the gun shop is. The liquor store moved up the street to the Rockingham Plaza. All within a convenient 1/4 mile radius. The Let's go, Brandon shop two doors down just went out of business, so this is hope.

Can't feel sorry for him, though. He used to be Cardinal Camera and threw it all away for the Mango Mussolini, so zero fucks given here. He also has some type of military tow behind trailer out front, too, so you know what vibes that gives off.

It’s a new sign! The older one was much easier to miss. My mom and I LOVE Pink & White Nails. Highly recommend if you want to get your nails done; they usually have a tiny dog they let hang out there and he’s so cute!

I’ve known them probably 16 years working in walking distance. Amore salad with feta and Italian at least twice a week haha. They ended up knowing my whole family by name and would ask how they were or how I was when they went in. I don’t even work in salem anymore and I still try to go often. They met my kid and when he was old enough to “have sweets” she would hook it up every day with her delicious baked goods. She would sneak desserts in for him with notes like every time. So i started tipping fat bc they are too underrated and nice. I worry they loose money just because they are so nice. My family has had them come to parties and they’ve invited us to theirs, their history before coming to America is quite interesting to say the least.

I completely agree- they are TOO nice! I throw money at syrus and run 😹

I worked there back in 2006 so there’s a good chance I made your Amore one of those times.

Everyone in salem needs to visit them despite the other weird stuff in child’s plaza lol
