Downtown Display



Joe,

Okay, so it’s pouring rain as I drive through Downtown Salisbury, and see the scene pictured here in front of the GOB and thought, ”well, there are either a lot of stupid people who work at the GOB who picked the middle day of a predicted 3 day rain forecast to ride their bikes to work, or, there’s at least 8 college scholars who rode Downtown to sit about, study, and take advantage of the free WIFI.

Well, if you take a close look at the third photo, you will notice they are all locked together by one big, long cable lock! Soooo, this is nothing but a display of Democratic magnitude! Set up by the Mayor, no doubt, to make it look like there are actual people who ride bikes to Downtown! Since he spent tens of thousands of dollars (yours and mine) to paint pictures of bikes on the pavement (without lane lines @ the most dangerous road to ride a bike, and b Ike lanes that run right into parking places and begin and end arbitrarily), he finds nobody is using them! Gee, willikers, Batman! And, to top it off, if you or I DID decide to ride bikes to Downtown in a rainstorm, THE BIKE RACK IS FULL AND WE CAN’T USE IT!!!!!

Let’s see, about a thousand for the rack, and about 4 grand worth of bikes to instill in peoples’ heads the idea that Downtown is a bike-able destination, and John Q. Public can’t use it!

As my head continues its explosion…

10 bux say those bikes came from the Salisbury PD as non-claimed stolen bikes, they get quite a few and run out of space where to put them, maybe this is that new found space till they go to auction?

The Mayor , Mr. Ireton is a gay person , I expect nothing less from him. Being gay , we already know he has a brain infection , so , what else would you expect.

Too funny. They did this in order to prevent the "I told you so's" that were surely to be forthcoming.

Gay people all have brain infections? Does the infection cause gayness, or does gayness cause the infection? Please explain this.

Where are there other bike racks? Oh, there are none! Just the locked up full one! Great idea to welcome downtown visitors!

Hey, here's an idea... erect 8 more parking meters there and then you can ticket the bikes and collect the fines! This little project should pay itself off on a few months! Good thinking, Jimbo!

Maybe they are going to do a bike share program like they do in DC. I mean Salisbury and DC have so much in common.

5:33, I hope there is no one in family that is gay, if so God help them. You are the infection. Why can't we just live and let live. No I am not gay. I do not push the way I feel on anyone nor dose anyone I know, Gay or not. I just take people for how they act and treat me.map

Where can someone purchase these "overflow" bikes?

There are two sides to this bike rack.

742,I am thinking that the subject here is Democrats, not gayness. Idiots spending all of your money on stupid BS without your permission and asking for more because the money ran out for the purposes you paid the taxes for in the first place.

case in point, look at the Salisbury budget online. Every year there has been a line item to pay for stormwater management, yet, in light of the "new" rain tax, which is money you're already paying for is all of a sudden absent from the budget, you know, the money you are already being charged for for stormwater management,

The scam is, you have already paying the city to manage stormwater but they decided to spend it elsewhere, take it off the budget, then charge you an extra "rain tax" for nothing but stealing money from you.

It's Democrats, not gayness! Hell, even a hetero could figure this out!

But that's okay?

Did someone seriously say he had a brain infection? That's hilarious.Would antibiotics treat such a thing?

Can anyone say, "Fake Day"?

Fits the narrative perfectly!

Just more Potemkin Village imagery.

Perhaps they can get a grant and hire unemployed hipsters to pedal around town to convince us that biking is the happening thing.

Or some of the soon to be residents of the soon to be artists colony can create cyclist statues to be sprinkled around the bike lanes. Can have a decorating contest for their garb.

Or the next faux bike rack can go outside the old fahr station.

This location will be a great photo op at night and during snow storms!

8:45, I know what the subject is. But 5:33 never said anything but something about someone being gay. I voted for Joe and was so disappointed he didn't win. Look I'm just tired of everyone blaming someone on how they live their life. Like their life is so much better that they have the right to put someone down because they don't feel the same as them. Stop judging and start minded your own business. I keep my nose out of your life and want you to do the same. The big point is that we can not trust anyone in office because they all lie to get where they are then forget about the people that put them there. We had a chance to have someone on our side and votes were fixed. So why should we feel anything will change. "They" will put into office whom they want no matter what we want.map

7:42 I think what 5:33 meant to say is, homosexuals have a mental illness that they equate with an infection.
Psychiatrists ALL recognize homosexuality is a mental state that is not normal according to nature therefore it is an illness.
It is a deviant proclivity to desire the same sex for affection and physical attraction. In nature animal organisms procreate by predetermined sexual function with very few exceptions.
Yes, live and let live but do not tolerate that which is against mother nature as normal, decent behavior. Homosexuality is NOT normal, never was and never will be.
The bike facade is more of the same from Democrats. FRAUD. Just like Obama, the leader of FRAUD and deception.

Off topic, but maybe another rape in a Wicomico county school, WGMD is reporting. No details other than the school system is cooperating with the investigators.

Point is Ireton has NO Morality, nor do most Politicians. Ever since we took God out of our system we have Godless people. No Morality!

The Founding fathers did not want the "Church" to run the country, they had no intention on taking "God" out of it.

Stupid people and Lawyers decided that one. God does not condemn Ireton, he loves him like everyone should. Truth is, until he realizes he is loved by God and does not live a Moral life, he can not prosper and lead the city to prosper. No one should condemn him for what he does, but show him love and kindness. No one should agree with everything he does either. Yes people are just as bad as the ones making bad choices.

Just a point of view. I am sure people who are against the bible will make some comment, but I don't care.... One day you or I will see how it ends. I rather believe in God and have faith than go through life thinking that when I die, there is nothing. Maybe that is why people are greedy, and shellfish.
