The only thing missing is the tickets on the windows.

WBOC LIVE!

I was traveling through the Downtown area doing my normal rounds when I came across Channel 16 going LIVE at the Salisbury Fire Department. Out of curiosity I popped my head in the door when they went live. YAHOO, This Is Exciting! NOT!

It was about a Paramedic talking about new techniques with choking victims. ALLRIGHTYTHEN! And they were LIVE! WooHoo!

Now look Folks, I truly love and enjoy the Media Staff throughout the City and that even includes many at the Daily Times, so I'm not knocking THEM. What I'm knocking is, trash flowing over dumpsters illegally and nothing is covered on it. Graffiti all over the Downtown area and there's no follow up story on the entire clean up of such. Graffiti left over the City hasn't cleaned up off their properties. Two shootings a few nights ago and nothing was covered on it. A budget not complete and an audit not available, yet there's no follow up at the Mayor's front door demanding answers as to why?

There's so many things they could think of and go LIVE with but it's a sad day when you have to do a job and discuss choking techniques? I'm not saying it isn't worthy of a news report, but LIVE? Maybe I'm just jealous we can't go LIVE on the Blogs? LOL

Could It Be Too Late?

I've always wondered about this particular sign. You see, it's placed about a 1/3 into the roadway inside the Plaza. Wouldn't it make more sense to place it at the very entrance to warn every one of pedestrians?

Then there's a sign below it that says, "It's NEVER Too Late." What the hell is this supposed to mean? Did some Idiot just put it there and the City never challenged it? Are you supposed to be a drug addict to understand what it means, or an alcoholic? Perhaps you're an abortion doctor? Perhaps the local Church placed it there to promote new visitors? WHAT THE HELL DOES IT MEAN? Is it a reminder for Chief Webster, since he follows me around the Plaza almost every day now? Did there used to be a Clock Repair Shop on the Plaza? Perhaps it was placed there by Charles Jannace promoting divorce/business?

Maybe it should just come down? ;-)

There's Good News For Delmarva Paintball & Their Customers

After reading the classified section of yesterdays Daily Times, "anyone" would "think" that it was all over for Delmarva Paintball. However, I had a hunch something just wasn't right, so I took a ride up there to see for myself, (because I couldn't believe it) low and behold, their doors were open!

It turns out, (rather than getting into a full blown out version) they have fallen behind in their rent as the other tenant with the Dive Equipment, Jack Pusey walked out of the deal there and Delmarva Paintball was stuck paying their rent on top of everything else.

A settlement agreement was made whereas the owners of the property will seize 8 year old rental paintball guns, (not worth a damn) a 3 phase compressor, (which can't be relocated anyway) and a lawn mower, (who cares). This will provide what past rent was due but you ALL know what's happened here. Sherwood and or Pohanka want to pay dearly for this building. The owner of the building died, the children, (3 of them) are fighting over renting it or selling it and Delmarva Paintball is being asked to leave. I'd like to add, you can't blame the property owners.

However, as the photos above clearly show, Delmarva Paintball is relocating to their OUTDOOR facility not 50 yards from the current building and they are NOT shutting down. This is exciting news Folks because although Paintball is VERY expensive, the kids around here really love the sport and need something like this to keep them busy.

All too many parents use computers and television to babysit their children any more and while there are very few sports left out there in which our children actually get exercise, it's important we support it. I recall my own father, (who adopted a 12 & 14 year old) saying when he moved to Salisbury, there are no kids playing in the neighborhood. They're all inside playing on their computers or watching TV.

Best of luck Delmarva Paintball. I hope everything works out for the best.
