A Letter To The Editor 10-23-12

I went to the downtown post office this morning (first time in a long while).  The building is in the last stages of neglect.   Paint peeling...wood rotting...concrete cracking...marble steps loose...cement missing...doors almost inoperable...danger underfoot everywhere to the unwary !    PITIFUL !

    Do you think the bankrupt postal service has money to make cosmetic repairs?

    Not going to get any better, that is what happens when you have no money.

    AND see what happens to you if you make your own repairs to the sidewalk on you own property without getting a permit and an "approved" contractor!.

    Just one more building in downtown Salisbury that will probably fall down due to neglect. What a shame. Newer is not always better like "knucklehead at the helm" (Ireton) and others like him, seem to think. Salisbury continues on its downward spiral.

    Um, the owner of the building is listed in SDAT as "U.S. Post Office." 9:49, your comment is spot on.

    If the property is that unsafe, why doesn't the city inspector do something about it? Waiting for someone to be injured? or politics as usual?
