Being refurbished

Jake sold it for scrap to pay for the Folk Festival, maybe?

Scared too many millennium's!

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

My my my, it must of offended someone!!!

it was scary, had to remove

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.

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

I'm 64 years old and that cannon was there when I was a kid. You know...before God invented dirt.

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

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.

Too many feelings hurt.

Gun free zone!

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.

What kind of magazines does it read? There’s been a lot of attention on guns and magazines lately.

It's not going back to the park.

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.

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.

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