Plaza Parking Is Way Out Of Control!




I was only on the Plaza for a short time today but was amazed at just how many people couldn't care less where the legal parking is. I had one lady give me a bunch of crap because I couldn't get past her, (4th picture down) because she kept slowly pulling forward till it got so tight no one could pass her. She rolled down her window and started going off. You guys know me, I smiled and said, May God Bless you Mam, Have a nice day. NOT! You're Number One!


Before & After



All of a sudden out of nowhere, the extra large dumpster that had been located behind the old Theater and next door to Jimmy's Grille is completely gone!

My guess is that it was illegally parked on property not owned by Jimmy and once the Health Department got involved and found out this was not in fact their property they had it removed. Mind you, it's just a guess.

However, what will Jimmy do now? It was bad enough they were overflowing their trash regularly but now they have no place to put it. Will Jimmy be making daily runs to the Dump? What will the local rats do now? Perhaps they'll have to lick up all that grease on the ground behind Flavors of Italy?

Monoblogue Has Another Interesting Article About Salisbury

He writes a story about Salisbury being one of the “100 Best Communities for Young People” again. Do enjoy!

Breaking News!!!!!


There is a buzzing rumor going around that Doris Schonbrunner is now THIRD in charge of the County. She was supposedly voted in yesterday as the new assistant county administrator.

You haven't read this anywhere else Folks and as I called James V. Fineran this morning to confirm, his only response was, "NO COMMENT."

IMO, good for Doris! Let's just hope she can separate her feelings towards the Sheriffs Department while the Citizens can be proud and happy she has found her new place right here at home? If it is in fact true, welcome back Doris.

There's NO Security At The Old Salisbury Mall!





Although the City requested that the Old Mall Owners secure the property better, they couldn't care less and nor could the City.

Two days ago concerned citizens call everyone involved with the Old Mall to inform them that it was not secured at all and that vandals tore down the security fencing around the entire Mall and nothing has been done about it.

Now IF the Old Mall Owners actually had someone there full time, as they claim, why has this fencing been down for days on end? I haven't read a report about vandals and destruction of property on the Salisbury Police Departments Website for the Old Mall?

Well, now that the photos are up the City will finally do something about it. They obviously don't have someone policing the entire community to see what's new on a daily basis and you'll never see this kind of stuff in The Daily Times. Why, because they're more interested in Associates Press information from around the Country than to tell and share actual news and information local to those paying for the information and keeping them in business.

Where Did You Sleep Last Night?


Something needs to be done about the homeless in Salisbury. These photos were taken behind the Old Mall but don't go blaming or pointing a finger at the Old Mall Owners because this may not be their property anyway.

Nevertheless, there's a village back there in the woods that needs some attention and with the temperatures as low as they are in the past few nights, it must be very difficult on these people.

Fertilizer For Our Bay Shuts Their Blog Down!

This morning brings a cluster of frustration as Delmarva Dealings is completely shut down, (possibly for 48 hours) due to server errors.

Then, SRR, Seweromico River Rat couldn't take the heat yesterday so he cut off any and all comments because the truth was getting too close to home and his fear of being outted as to who his actual identity is came to a reality and he shut down.

This particular Blog Site was loaded with half naked women in which he was stealing photos from other Blog Sites and using them as if all these beautiful women were actual clients of his on his fishing boat.

Not long ago I confronted him on the fact that I had found the website that was in fact hosting all the photos he was producing and I could quickly see that he was using them for his own pleasure. I posted the website, (if you'll recall) and he became very upset that I had exposed the truth and ruined his fun.

With no more photos to steal he went into a spin on pointless information on his Blog with no local news and nothing more than a personal diary, as we see all too often on these local Blogs. Even I'll pull it every so often and share something personal but certainly not every day for weeks on end.

Anyhow, because he's gone, I'll keep my mouth shut as to HIS identity and sincerely respect his good decision to close down a site that was simply wasting space. I'm sure he'll continue commenting and based on the fact that his site is gone, I'll treat him like a gentleman.

Local Police Are Taking Back The Streets!


Last night the Salisbury Police Department, Sheriffs Department and a special drug task force team raided a home on 802 Shoemaker Drive and seized some $30,000.00 worth of heroine. The following information comes directly from the SPD Website.

It looks like the local Police & Sheriffs Departments aren't going to take it any more and they're starting to take back their streets!

Congratulations to everyone involved and once again, THANK YOU!

The Mayor Interrupts Again And Coaches Council During Council Meeting.

Right smack dab in the middle of the City Council Meeting the Mayor got up, (once again) and walked over the legal council and started coaching her. It is impossible for the legal council to concentrate on what is going on when the Mayor picks her timing well and makes sure they don't hear what's going on.

She's so slick, isn't she?

The MDE Is Back Investigating The WWTP!

Mr. Dave Pushkar has been in contact with me referencing this matter and is concerned that they were not contacted about the problem.

More to come........

Today's Wildlife Photo

No, This Isn't California, It's Salisbury

Several days ago I captured this picture of a man driving to the dump with his former Christmas Tree. What's so interesting is the fact that his window is down and he's wearing a short sleeved shirt.

Are the warm days gone for good now? Have we experienced the warmest winter on record and now we're subjected to the bitter cold for the next few months? Man, I want to bring out that snow blower and have the cleanest 180 foot long driveway in all of Delmar! Come on snow!

But Mr. Stevenson, We Didn't Realize The Fence Line Was Our Property Line!

This business has tires flowing so far past their fence line it isn't funny! Obviously the ones they don't want to sell as used tires they simply throw towards the Railroad Tracks and the rest they keep on their own property.

Now I know Tom is VERY short handed and can't keep up with all the crap like this so I'll simply help their office out once in a while and let them know there are additional violations out there and they can do with it what they may. I can't wait to see his budget in the CIP Report! This is a group that needs money!

We're On A Mission From God


With no yellow tag in this bus, no money in the meters, I want to know, do I simply go out and get a magnet sign for my vehicle that says I'm from a particular Church and I am excused from paying any meters? Oh, and can I use my manly 4x4 extended cab, extended bed Dodge Hemi Pickup Truck and park it horizontal across several prime spots on Lot 15 and I won't get a ticket. The sign would cost less than a permit from the City! Perhaps it could say Doug Church on it too so it can also park in prime spots throughout the City and not have to feed the meters. It must have something to do with the name Church. I added that so you'd smile and feel like a big man there Doug.

Chief Webster, Smile, You're On Candid Camera


Oh, that pesky wittle Albero. How come I can't hide from him? Perhaps if I wear a uniform I might not stand out in a crowd so much? Brrrrrr, it's cold out here. I think I'll send some of my rookies out here at night and let them learn to respect my authority! I'm putting in a request for a Segway so I don't ruin these $400.00 shoes.
