Being at the Commercial Complex near the Old Bus Stand in Salem means there’s never a quiet moment. At number 77, we’re right where the buses pull in and out all day long. You can hear the conductors shouting destinations and the constant hum of engines through our front door. It’s a busy spot, and we like it that way because it keeps us on our toes. The office is a bit cramped with all the boxes and supplies we have to keep on hand. We’ve been here long enough that we know the guys at the tea stall and the newspaper vendor by heart. Sometimes the power goes out in the afternoon, and we just sit by the window to catch whatever breeze comes through the complex. The floor is that old grey stone that stays cool even when Salem gets really hot in May. We don’t have any big signs or flashy lights. Just a simple door and some shelves filled with what we need for the day’s tasks. Most of our time is spent talking to people who stop by while they’re waiting for their bus. It’s a bit of a chaotic area, but it feels like home to us. We just keep things moving, stocking what needs stocking and making sure the paperwork is sorted before the sun goes down and the evening rush starts.
