For Those Critics Who Questioned If The Salisbury Police Are On The Plaza At Night, Whalla!

Since When Did They Open A Home Depot/Lowes Near The Salisbury Police Station?



For years now I have continued to watch truckloads of construction supplies go into this residential back yard just past the Police Department heading west bound on Rt. 50 on the right hand side. I can see some supplies over a few months but the load keeps getting bigger and bigger and it has been there for years? Call me if you need directions Mr. Stevenson.

What's A Mayor To Do When She Can't Get Her Own Public Works People To Act Like Trash Men?







As I was walking my multiple bags of trash to The Plaza to dump off into the trash cans there I was completely ticked off to see someone else had taken my idea first and packed each and every trash can there.

Now look Folks, if I'm going to give away these secrets, don't take advantage of them! Leave ME some room, will ya? I noticed the noble idea of dumping your ash tray into the planters too. It's no wonder the Public Works Crew spends so many hours working and closing the Plaza daily to keep things watered and clean, NOT!

Whoops, I slipped and threw in a picture Downtown but not on the Plaza. That would be behind Tours Of Italy. Look, the rats have to eat something, right?

Makes Sense To Me!

Don't Look Up While You're In The Downtown Salisbury Area!

Recently I've noticed daily thousands of seagulls flying above every day in Downtown Salisbury? I've also noticed a ton of bird poop all over the cars Downtown. It might be a good idea to start using an umbrella while walking about.

Terry Cohen WILL Run For City Council!

Local media are invited to join Terry Cohen at 5:30 p.m. today, Jan. 8, at the Government Office Building in downtown Salisbury as she announces her candidacy for Salisbury City Council, District 2. NOTE: Filing has not taken place as of this communication.

IMO, YAHOO!

Salisbury City Police Are On The Ball



These four Officers in Uniform were on foot patrol throughtout the City yesterday. Determined to catch these thugs, Officers were just waiting for the right moment in time when these graffiti artists would make that fatal mistake and get caught. Thank You!

They're Back!






Just when things started slowing down, they came back again in a big way. The Southern States Dealer by the Draw Bridge next to Rt. 50 was nailed with large slak tags again. There were so many new pieces of graffiti, Blogger wouldn't allow me to post all of them in one post, so I chose what I thought might impact everyone most. No Division seems to be back in a very big way but what makes him so interesting is, the City Police arrested him long ago and he cleaned up everything he had done in the past.

That being said, why on God's Green Earth would he come out of retirement and start slamming the City again with his version of Graffiti? So there may be a copycat graffiti artist out there? Nevertheless, these guys are going "POSTAL."

No Division is using labels from the USPS, (United States Postal Service) and SLAK is marking up Mail Boxes. Are we talking Federal Offense now?

Let's Talk About Vacant Buildings


It's my understanding this building has been sitting empty for more than 3 years on the Plaza. I can see no real advertising to rent it? I see no For Sale sign on it? That being said, how is the Plaza supposed to bounce back if much of what is there is just sitting stagnant? I heard the owner of this building paid $310,000.00 and now wants $750,000.00 for the property, (down from $850,000.00). Pretty nice mark up and look how fast it's selling! What does the City Code say about these buildings just sitting around the City doing nothing? Should they come down like the old mall? Should we have a say in what happens to other people's investments?
