  3. It’s been scrapped because it was a racist symbol. Melted down and used for roundabouts and bike lanes

  6. I hope refurbished is the answer it's a part of the park history and as long as I can remember our son and I'm sure many other families have pictures of their children sitting on the cannon. Time was there used to be bands and picnics and along time ago swimming in the park. We need to preserve the cannon and the grand stand.

  7. It was aimed at the Wi Hi Middle School Auditorium to keep the kids straight.Most people didn't know that.

  9. It was taken away to be refurbished and new wheels constructed. It will return to the War Memorial by Pep Boys.

  10. More of Jake Day's Bull$hit! Claims it's being refurbished and then it's going on Rt. 13 on that little piece of land across from Pep Boys.

    Jake Day was defending his actions on FB recently.

  11. It's a reminder of our racist past!

  12. It was removed because it was intimidating liberal and snowflakes that it just might attack and kill someone, cuz we all know guns, and or a cannon, go out and kill on their own.

  17. its sad that its being moved, but the war memorial is probably a better place for it. It goes along with war and memorial. i will be sad going to that area and not seeing the cannon but where its going, it will be seen by all passer-bys going up and down rt 13. It does not matter to me as long as it has not been destroyed.

  21. Can someone name all "the great things" Jake Day does for Salisbury?? I keep reading all these "I love Jake" comments about all the great things he does for the City of Salisbury, but no one seems to mention any of the great things he does?? The Salisbury Festival: FAILED
    The Salisbury Police Department: FAILED
    The Salisbury Fire Department: FAILED
    Salisbury Code Compliance: FAILED
    Downtown Salisbury: FAILED
    Waverly Drive: FAILED
    Square at Merritt Mill Apartments: FAILED
    Coventry Square Apartments: FAILED
    Out of control Annexations: FAILED

    Again, can someone please name all the great things Jake Day has done for Salisbury? And feel free to add to this "Failed" list.

  22. From Jake Day's FB page. Looks like he is fanning the flames of hatred towards the County Executive and Wicomico County.
