Where you able to identify Nelson Dionne's latest vintage photo?
Last week we asked you to identify a vintage photo from local historian Nelson Dionne. Several readers guessed correctly. The building in the center of the photo is the site of the Old St. Joseph's Church up on Lafayette street before the Great Salem Fire in 1914.

On Memorial Day, Artists' Row will reopen, adding a handful of artists and craftsman to the downtown scene. Applications for artists interested in the seasonal spaces were due in April, and some familiar faces, including the Salem Arts Association and Fished Impressions are slated to return.
