Alt., 23. Pop., 15,141. Salisbury is America's key city for the preparation of frozen TV Chicken dinners; known as Central City of the Mammoth Delmarva Broiler Industry and Home of DelMarValous Chickens. About 180 million chickens are hatched near Salisbury each year. Salisbury was founded in 1732, but is a city without landmarks. Mentions the Great Fire of 1860 and the Great Fire of 1886. Contemporary Salisbury has been broken up by bulldozers, which are cutting a 6-lane swath through the downtown section. The Chris-Craft Sea Skiff Division turns out boats on a production line on outskirts of Salisbury. The Symington Wayne Corporation makes gasoline-blending pumps. Salisburians think things are moving too fast for them; they gently fight progress. Salisburians like to go crabbing and fishing.

nearly 50 years later and not a damn thing has changed. kinda sad.
Only a couple of changes....both factories mentioned are now defunct and empty. Chicken still reigns, though.
And we have a bitch ooopssssss I mean witch for a mayor.
Look at what all our great progress has brought us -- a university, a regional hospital and...
crime out the wazoo, dead businesses, deteriorating neighborhoods while ticky tacky boxes go up everywhere, a smelly river no one can enjoy any more, traffic jams just to go a lousy mile...
thanks for all the "progress."
