I have been asked for almost a year now to go out and capture this photo of this house on Isabella Street. Apparently this is yet another FOB whereas they have had this man made scaffolding just sitting there for years now and the City refuses to act upon demanding it be removed.
The Daily Times refuses to do any story about it, protecting the Mayor once again while everyone knows if this was going on over on the West side, the City of Salisbury would own this property by now based on violations.
The biggest violation on this particular property is not the scaffolding, it's the tickled pink colors displayed with such gay pride. Two Snaps Up! It's no wonder Michael Day hasn't complained! Will the neighbors follow suit? Will Salisbury have its own Key West section? They already have a Key Club, why not Key West!
All kidding aside, Barrie, it's been posted for everyone to see. NOW DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I'm tired of getting e-mail messages about this property, GET THE HINT!
From what I've been told, colors such as the ones seen on this house are a protest type of statement. People were not happy when they found out that the Historical Society limited the range of colors allowed for exterior paint.
ReplyDeleteThese bold colors are seen on a few of the houses in that area. There's one in particular, I forget exactly where, that has the most obnoxious porch I've ever seen...blue, pink and purple - all neon or electric shades.
I find it hilarious that these types of colors are historically accurate but some of the more sedate colors are not allowed.
That said, I completely agree that the owner needs to finish the work and clean it up. It's been WAAAAAY too long. Any one of us (regular people) who tried to pull that stunt would find the housing inspectors on our doorstep after a week or so, even if we could prove that work was ongoing.
