About 3 years ago at a meeting about downtown Salisbury, they were talking about the revitalization project in Salisbury. It was brought up about Cumberland Md. project and how wonderful it is. We visited there on Nov.4 It is beautiful, but one problem...NO PEOPLE! These photo's were taken at 1:30 on Saturday.
It's only used by Jake Day and his drinking buddies/employees for their "cool kid" happy hours. It's all self-serving.
ReplyDeleteFigures.
ReplyDeleteThe clueless wonders are forever claiming how great someplace is and how Salisbury can be just like it. This is the perfect example of their idiocy. That's what happens when you are dealing with the low class unsophisticated elected officials of Sby. They hardly get off the shore but are forever comparing places to Sby. I too have heard they are drunks and only know how to "accomplish" things that have to do with drinking. Such low class junk.
ReplyDeleteTell us more about Cumberland...Is it alive, growing, prosperous?
ReplyDeleteD"OH I thought I was looking down the plaza!
ReplyDeleteWell, they do have Amtrak passenger service, something the Shore could use.
ReplyDeleteYikes, for a few seconds I thought it was da 'bury.
ReplyDeleteLooks just like downtown Salisbury ... Dead as a door nail!!
ReplyDelete"We too can have this" after spending millions of tax payer dollars our downtown CAN look as pretty and dead as Cumberland's!
No jobs, to speak of, means no $$ to spend in specialty shops and outlandish parking fees!!
Cumberland must also have a group of lawyer slumlords and rich good ole boys playing circle jerk with everyone's money (not too much of THEIR money, though), trading, buying, and selling public property in sweetheart deals that only benefit themselves, their kids, and their OTHER slimy good ole boys.
ReplyDeleteAll the while telling everyone of the BENEFITS of being screwed daily.
How much they should be ever-so-thankful for, too.
I'm starting to seriously worry we aren't going to have enough rope.
And, I'm already feeling sorry for Cumberland.
Keep cheering.
I was there a couple of weeks ago and all I saw on the plaza at 3 in the afternoon was a drug deal and closed doors. The entire town seemed like a ghetto. The only nice thing was the train.
