The fictional town of Salem is the setting for the U.S. soap opera ''Days of Our Lives''. It is located in the Midwestern United States, though the state is never mentioned until the episode which aired on May 23, 2013. When John is looking at the itinerary it states, "Salem, MN" If you look closely, it actually says Salem Inn. It was built and named in 1802, since Salem celebrated its 200-year birthday in 2002. Originally set in New England, the vague setting was moved to somewhere in the Midwest in the 1970s. For many years the real Salem, Illinois even held a Salem Days fest, which several members of the cast attended. While it is constantly referenced as a town, it features more characteristics of a city; for example it is home of the large, multinational corporations DiMera Enterprises, Titan Industries and Basic Black, Mythic Incorporated, as well as a full University and an international airport. Despite its otherwise innocuous presence, over the years it has been a hotbed of foreign intrigue, organized crime, and other strange happenings. Characters often make reference to Chicago being nearby and the 312 Area Code, indicating Salem may be in Illinois. This, however, had contradicted characters mentioning going to Illinois and by the license plates of the cars in Salem. Is notable to mention that some characters are Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs fans, meaning that Salem is probably located in a fictional state that borders Illinois and is close to Chicago. It was mentioned that Salem had legalized gay marriage in a January 2014 episode. In October 2015, ''Today'' confirmed that Salem's location is in the state of Illinois. == Families currently residing in Salem == * The Brady Family: * The Black Family: * The Carver Family: * The Deveraux Family: * The DiMera Family: * The Donovan Family: * The Hernandez Family: * The Horton Family: * The Jennings Family: * The Johnson Family: * The Kiriakis Family: * The Olsen Family: * The Roberts Family: * The Walker Family: * The Williams Family: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Salem (Days of Our Lives)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
