This is what is left of what is to be the 13 story high-rise!

Geez, a 13' high-rise. Da'bury is starting to look like Baltimore more every day, day.
Just a fake face... Like our mayor
Pathetic lib SCUM there days are #
Wow, that's not a renovation. It's 99.999% demolition and .001% added to a totally new structure.
Is that water being metered and billed coming off that fire hydrant?
So much for history in this stupid town. EVERYONE downtown fell down and bumped their damn heads I swear.
What's left is the lipstick that will be the facade of the 13 story pig.
*Their. And that's what everyone keeps saying, but people keep voting for him. So...
There is nothing Historic about it. Just another stack of bricks in small town America. It was never great Architecture to begin with.
Doubtful
"Is that water being metered and billed coming off that fire hydrant?"
Meter? We don't need no stinkin' meter! Bills are for the little people.
Good Riddance!!!
Lol i bet jake day and the rest of those libs are crying haha.
Jake's Sh**show, he's such a pathetic loser.
I have more respect for Ireton, at least he was out with his gayness.
Jake's 3 size too small jeans, sh**eating grin, and hanging with his drunk bros is still in the closet, and now his beard has embarrassed him and ruined his chances at Lt. Gov.

No, look at the second picture. NOTHING is left!
Who TF is approving these stupid plans for downtown Salisbury? What happened to Salisbury's history and charm?
I thought Salisbury was listed as a Historical town and any plans on renovations had to be approved?
That's what TF you get when you vote for and support stupid as Libtards and RINO's. Jake Day, Jack Heath and Manure Bota!
This is where Bob Culver's leadership as the County Executive should have stepped in to save historical downtown Salisbury for Salisbury and Wicomico County. But no, he spent thousands of dollars(our tax dollars) and took Jake Day to court just to give him half of the Government Office Building. Now he is giving Jake Day our Wicomico County Airport and forcing the Citizens in that area, the east side of the county, to be annexed into the armpit of Wicomico County. He has joined forces and jumped in bed with John Cannon, Bill McCain, Bill Chambers, Mike Dunn, et. al. It's time for Bob Culver to step down!
look at all the nice desks and stuff in chamber building they should have donated or sold!!! NEVER ever will i join them again. WHY DIDN'T THEY DONATE it or sell? That is a bigger story... WASTE!
Well since it’s hooked to a meter. My guess is yes.
Why in the heck do we need a 13 story building downtown?? There are plenty of places around for students. Maybe some of the focus should be turned away from college students and we should remember some of the older folks who do not do stairs or perhaps they are disabled and need one level apartments. I hate that downtown has been destroyed but apparently you know best....NOT !!!!
Thank you for showing what is going on in dabury. Wish I could share your photos to Facebook.
Mr Albero, Thanks so much for your time and effort reporting whats going on around here.If it were not for your site people would not be informed and know the truth.After of well over a decade of looking at your blog and seeing what Salisbury and Wicomico County has become it has come time for me to retire and exit the shore for Sussex County.Salisbury lost big time when you and Wayne King were passed over for this spoiled lil rich kid they call mayor. Him and the liberal trio of Dunn,Chambers,and Ryan of S.W.E.D.which stands for SALISBURY WICOMICO ECONOMIC DEPRESSION have ruined the city never to return to the good days say to speak.
I want to thank you and your staff again for your hard work and dedication.
1:07 Pic 1 and pic 2 are two different angles. The brick front in the first pic is to the right, out of view, in the second pic. Nice try though.
That area was originally river bed, then became a swamp that was filled in as a dump. This building will rival the “Leaning Tower of Pisa.”
Isn't that the Richardson building? Too bad Vaughn didn't cash in on that. Will they replace with another "Stalinistic" structure like the Government Building which replaced the Chantry House?
Ha ha!
What did they pay for those properties?
It’s the good ole boy Network
Probably related to girkerson family
No one else can get work locally
How much you want to bet this facade will "accidentally" fall over. Then they will be free to just put in a modern building.
That may be true 1243
however, the building may have been restored to keep the History alive who founded Salisbury
Yes
the whole downtown area was HUMPHREYS LAKE at one time
Hi All,
The building developers got the OK from the council and Day. The ordinance had to be changed to allow a building over 5 stories. When PRMC was built up, they had to get an exception for its 5 stories. Anyway, this is just stupid. Salisbury does not have the jobs for people to afford the rent, and the college kids will not fill that building up. The building will be section 8 before long; just like the apartment complexes are becoming. The apartment complexes get run down and no one will pay the rent they want, so they allow section 8 people to move in. It makes sense for them. The government always pays the rent. I said this, and I will say it again. The only way that building makes sense is to turn the building into an office building, but then again, we would need to draw businesses here, and why would a business want to move here with the crappy schools and crime? Jake has no knowledge of business and how the economy works, so he can't draw anyone here. Just like the virus. It's not the virus killing people, it is the underlying health issues that are killing people. If you are under 70 and healthy don't worry about it. This city has underlying issues. I just stated them. Fix those problems and then, maybe, we will talk 13 story buildings. Dumping millions of dollars into a downtown where practically no one lives is ridiculous, especially when the rest of Salisbury's infrastructure is crumbling. Regardless, even if all of Salisbury was fixed up, people will still balk on moving here. Our livability rating is 12%, meaning that 88% of all other small cities like us are a much nicer place to live. The people running this place are doing it ass backwards. This building will just be a cherry on a pile of S***!
Stay safe all and take care
Wayne
You really have no idea how fake the mayor is....I’m telling you he seriously abuses his wife and little girls!
Mayor Day you are being exposed very soon for your wife and child abuse. It’s coming out Mayor Day! People need to know. It’s no longer going to be hidden. You wait and see!
How about badges?? 😆
I can’t wait. Then we can finally know if it’s true or not, instead of just reading these taunts.
Keep hearing accusations but where’s the charges
Don’t you see the Harkins sign fool!
This is why you're not the mayor
You know what people you got exactly what you wanted and deserved. Greater shopping and dining variety and all the eyesore sprawl that comes with it. Your still praying for a Cracker Barrel. You abandoned downtown and to now have nostalgic and historic notions about it is too little too late. Embrace the new charm you wanted. It's already looking as dumpy as Glen Burnie and only to get worse. Yes I too have fond memories of old downtown but OK it's time to move on it will never be the same and we will soon be dead.
bring back mccroreys
will that building be finished before the bridge in fruitland
11:16 maybe but not before the plaza that’s 5 more years.
Agreed 1:15
Thanks Wayne! What you said is 100% correct!
How many living spaces planned, and what's the rent going to look like?
Water from a hydrant does not go through a meter...
After all that money was spent in the last decade restoring these Historical buildings they are now being torn down because Jake Day ran out of legos and building blocks. The most wasteful mayor we have ever had and he still hasn't faced we will never be another Inner Harbor when was the last time him and the City Council looked into the Wicomico River in that area and saw the waste and dead bodies of birds, rodents and dead fish floating by--and don't look too close you might see another human body. Those of us living across from it call it "Sludge River".
Look it up yourself
I want to know how much this building or any other renovated building pays or will pay in city.county tax or will be all be given in tax breaks to the owners? The tax on that should be a nice chunk of change for the city and the county. Will it?
Agree. They aren’t even saving the bricks.
So much for historical downtown Salisbury, Maryland. Thanks for nothing Mr. Manure Bota. You Liberal Piece of $hit!

The great architecture was before the fire of 1886 but the problem there was the idiots that ran this city thought it was Ok to put the buildings so close together and on top of each other. That is why the Hell the city burnt down. Looks like the idiots in Gettobury haven't learned anything in the last 50 years. Keep voting for those Liberal Democrats you dumb morons!

Spot on my friend, Spot on!
Wayne King wasn't the best choice but when you have the majority of the Wicomico County Republican Central Committee supporting and endorsing a liberal, Socialist Democrat then we don't have a chance in Hell.
Each and every one of those Republican Central Committee members that supported Jake Day needs to be reported to the Maryland GOP. That includes Larry Hogan, Mary Beth Carozza, Carl Anderton, Jamie Dykes and John Cannon.
