Downtown Powellville Dilapidated While Wicomico County Sits On Their Hands For Decades

This was the old general store and post office.
This was the old hardware store above that has been empty for decades.
The image above has 49 broken panes of glass out of 100. It’s been that way for decades.

If you think this is bad, there’s more. I happen to own a property in Downtown Powellville and have been contacting the county for at least 20 years and NOTHING has been done. After speaking to numerous neighbors they too have been complaining about these properties, (and more) and they too kept hitting dead ends.

I recently spent a lot of time at my home there as my Father had terminal cancer and I spent more then a month sitting with him on the front deck being subjected to what you are seeing above, (all of them). I finally put my foot down again and contacted the county, this time with demands. So many of us in Powellville have completely remodeled our homes and quite frankly these older homes look incredible. Yet the dilapidated properties continue to depreciate our property values. 

I contacted County Council Member Larry Dodd who immediately came to my property and was blown away at how many attempts we’ve all made to get something started. He went into high gear and I was finally contacted by someone in the county who also came out and couldn’t believe just how bad it is. Letters went out several months ago stating if they didn’t improve the properties the county would send out demolition orders and tear them down. For some odd reason some property owners claimed they intend to remodel these properties and the county, (so far) continues to give them extensions, yet NONE of them have filed for permits in the past nine months proving they intend to do so. The photos above were taken within the past 2 days.

The bigger joke is how many of these properties are not structurally sound and have been let go for far too long. Any decent contractor would immediately tell you to knock them down and start over again. Look, when you let a property like these go for as long as they have, these people have no interest.

It’s time the county put out demolition orders within 30 days and take them down. Waiting decades just to get this far is bad enough but if ALL of you actually saw just how much traffic that goes by Powellville Road heading to and from Snow Hill you’d be blown away and all of these properties are directly on this road. 

I’ve presented this information all the way up to the County Executives Office and waited till this day, (after the election yesterday) to put a fire under the people still waiting for the general election to show us tax payers just what they plan to do about this situation. I’m confident we are not the only areas with this problem but this is the entire downtown area of Powellville, another town that has been forgotten. 

To clarify, the images above are at the end of Mt. Hermon Road and Powellville road. This is what you are subjected to and guess what, WE ARE NOT A GHETTO. If anything, it’s our leaders who remain inside their offices and do not travel the county to see what is real. Nor does your local media who takes no pride in the community they serve.

  1. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love these old structures, they give the town character. What about the owners property rights. It’s funny how some people don’t want government in there lives but then in a situation like this they want government to do something. Can’t have it both ways!

    1. We’re talking decades. The property owners have no interest is even putting a coat of paint on their buildings and keep in mind that most of these buildings are commercial. Heck, all but one of them are commercial. So there is a code by your so called government and our government has been ignoring those codes for decades as well. None of these properties are livable for a human being. The owners have had plenty of time to repair them and they have refused to. It’s time to rebuild America, not turn it into a ghetto.

        1. I sure miss seeing JC Rayne sitting in front of the building next to the store. He was a good ole soul. R.I.P. JC

    2. I love these old buildings ,I go there often my family is buried in Riverside Cemetery ,it’s to bad they couldn’t fixed up

    3. Stephanie Dubrel

      And I bet if your kid, dog, etc went in there and got hurt you would be singing a different tune. Its referred to as an attractive nuisance.

    1. No Sh!t Sherlock, there is no freaking city government. Powellville is in the county! Some people, like this, are too dumb to vote!

      1. One of the things I love about watching this county’s political anger is that the white rural vote is very radicalized and motivated but totally ignorant and increasingly dying off with every election cycle…the best example of that is all these stupid volunteer fire departments…which are now just taxpayer funded boomer centers. that are dying up…. Like it or not…the future of the county is the growth of the Salisbury area…no one moves out to the rural towns unless its to die or to take care of an old relative…the money, opportunity, intelligence, and growth is all happening where things are happening and where the people live….even nutjob julie groomerdano is doing to that to contend with that simple economic fact…..LOL

          1. @9:58, that comment was from a silly Liberal and sounds like something Jake Day would say. Praising Salisbury while running down the volunteer firemen. Look what he has done in Salisbury, run nearly all the volunteers out of office.

        1. I pray for you to never need that Volunteer Company! You have no idea how they work or how much we do for our community. They are not there just for Fire they are also EMS and lives are saved daily. Only someone who has never bothered to give up your precious time for someone else’s life or property would make such a statement. Bless your little heart for never volunteering for anything!

        2. WTF are you babbling? Is that you, Jake Day? That really does sound like that clown Gay Day or one of his minions.

          Remember when Jake Day started shutting down the volunteers in the City of Salisbury stating with Station 1. Boomers? Yep, that is Jake Day!

        3. 5:40 “The growth of Salisbury” by that statement do you mean all the homeless people laying all over Salisbury? The panhandlers? The crime? Yea ok. Spoken like a petulant entitled liberal. ?

          1. No, I mean the doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers, investors, and store owners who operate services that people use…when those fat old white idiots from Powellville have a medical emergency they are sent to US at the hospital to treat them. If you have the city so much…turn one of those awesome condemned houses into a hospital LOL

        4. It’s because people are to damn lazy to live where they may have to maintain a property these latest generation’s all they want to do is sit in ac work or home and not have to do anything else period.

      2. 2:31 I’m not too dumb to vote, and I am smart enough to mind my own business. There is no HOA in Powellville.

        1. 5:16 The doctors, nurses, etc have always been here. The crime? Not so much? The crime goes hand in hand when liberals are in charge.
          And I hate to tell ya but anyone with an ounce of common sense doesn’t go to “YOUR” hospital if they’re ill with anything serious they drive straight across the bridge because that’s where real cars begins ?‍♀️

          1. HAHAHA…..all the professionals you beg for when you’re in trouble come from over the bridge..there are probably 5-7 doctors and professional nurses that are from the county…and that makes sense…its always been a white, rural uneducated area…until recently…and FYI…the county has been dominated by Conservatives always….GOP County Executive, GOP controlled county council, GOP controlled business community….some of your county folk just prefer to live in shit rather than the world see you work a steady job that requires skill….again, the death rates in the rural county speak for themselves LOL

      1. 1:19 You would be wrong. ALL of my doctors are over the bridge. I wouldn’t let any doctor that would choose to come to the eastern shore anywhere near me. I am alive today because of the wonderful doctors at UMMC. I quickly realized I would have an early grave if these fools at PRMC had anything to do with it. But you be you boo. You should maybe do some soul searching cause you’re racists af?‍♀️

    1. Comdemed why ,they would make nice little store ,I don’t believe there are any down there, I think it’s a shame

      1. Because they are not structurally sound. If they had been worked on 20 years ago they would’ve been fine. They simply let them go for far too long.

      2. You would have to demolish these buildings and start new. Their “bones” aren’t solid enough to repair.

      1. 5:03 I’m thinking with the meltdown you guys are having over Julie that I made the right decision voting for her? Let the meltdown continue. ?

        1. The only meltdown is watching Julie try to do real adult things like run a county budget of 200 million dollars after she couldn’t even balance the books on her own “businesses”….that being said, I do wonder who she will start sleeping with at the county office building now that she won’t be banging students at Bennett. LOL

  2. I was born and raised in Wango and in the day the buildings served the community. There needs to be something done as they are memories but they are not safe. I don’t know who owns these properties but maybe they will
    Step up together and get these cleared up. I bet there are some interesting items in the stores and post office. Good luck

  3. Salisbury is a dump check out house in front of Salvation Army Thift store has trees in windows , no paint, house sinking and still the house on corner of Jackson with all the vehicles and I mean about 8 and everything else dumped in side yard and I mean every kind of metal junked cars, trucks, trailers, carts, looks worse than a junked vehicles yard for parts. This has been reported for over 3 yrs still nothing done and they have the nerve to post in vehicle windows candid camera because they know Jake and the city will do nothing. Thanks Jake for a city dump site wish it was in yours and your neighbors Duncans yards. The Bronx in NY is a palace compared to the city of Salisbury.

    1. It all has a common thread: people who cannot or will not follow the law, combined with people who selectively decide who should follow the law. Is there more to it?

  4. Concerned Retiree

    The County government is worthless. All they want is to raise taxes. They only help people or do anything about these rich in history areas unless their “buddies” want it for nothing and then put thousands of dollars in their pockets. IT’S A SHAME how crooked the politians are. When my family .went to OC in my younger years they always took that route to beat the traffic and it was enjoyable to visit the old stores.

    1. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! What county are you talking about, silly M O R O N!! Wicomico County hasn’t raised taxes in 20+ years and there isn’t a need to! Please tell us who you are and when was the last time you had your taxes raised in Wicomico County?

  5. LOL Hypocrites. If you don’t like it, put your pennies together and go invest in these properties. Turn them into something more valuable. Whats all the whining about “government do something” for?

    1. I have offered to buy every one of these properties, end of story. I spoke to one of the property owners this morning and mentioned it to them.

  6. As bad as the county is now….wait till that twice bankrupt corrupt teacher Groomerdano with no experience is in charge our 200 million dollar budget….

    1. Clearly the county needs new leadership and this is only one small example. Maybe we need someone like Julie to put out some of these fires. My only worry as that she wants to bring in some inexperienced people and frankly she needs very experienced people for her to retain such a position. This isn’t a game. Trust me, I wasn’t the brightest businessman, but I also wasn’t the dumbest. I hired the brightest in the world and was able to retire at 40. Listen up Julie, you need strong business people, not friends or even friends of friends.

      1. Not gonna Happen Joe…she is a mentally unstable Karen and has the lower tier nuts around her…all the successful business minded republican’s backed Mr. Psota and will not touch her dumpster fire after her antics…the odds are that she will break state law within a few weeks of being sworn in and the local GOP can screw up the next primary…much like how they gave away the governors race by voting for Dan Cox…so stupid….

        1. @1:43 pm, Don’t blame the local GOP!!! Julie Giordano created the rogue “Delmarva Conservative Movement” with David and Maria Cook, David Cooper, James Winn, Shane Baker, Barry and Susan Beauchamp and some others and it completely destroyed the local GOP. Then the lazy Republicans stayed home and gave us twice bankrupt Julie Giordano for County Executive! I feel sorry for you people in Wicomico County! I’m going to be staying in my condo on the beach! Right now is the perfect time to sell my home in Fruitland!

          1. lol. I attempted to join that group on fb and was rejected because of the slew of moronic questions I was asked that I wouldn’t answer.

            It’s a clique, and will die due to their ignorance and arrogance.

            Small town, small minds

          2. Well, if they could so easily take over the primary maybe it means the party is too blame? Did no one see this coming? I know quite a few Dems who switched parties and were willing to support Psota simply because he is an adult and can do the job despite them being libs and him being an actual fiscal conservative. Where was Cannon, Hall and the other GOP leaders in all of this?

          3. Anon 4:36, that group is nothing but a cult and the Cult Leaders are David and Maria Cook and the Follower are Giordano, the Beauchamp, Winn and his daddy, Baker, Tittermary, Dan McHugh and a bunch of others.

      2. just 9% of eligible voters went to the polls in this primary and 3.6 % of them voted for nutjob Julie…that’s the tiny minority we can blame when my business goes under with all of the insanity and anti-business “plans” she has…..was Psota that bad? My God at least he was a fiscal conservative, a LEO who could balance a budget….time to switch counties if I can…..

        1. @July 20, 2022, 11:01 pm. John Cannon a GOP leader?? WTF are you talking about?? That dumb Clown is the biggest RINO in Wicomico County and only an uneducated imbecile would vote for him!

      3. and yet that is exactly who is she has already surrounded herself with…between Acle, Cooper, Luffman, and that dufus Lombardo and the rest of her own family….its going to be a fun trainwreck to watch….CHOOOO CHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    2. You’ve got that right. Julie can’t handle her own finances so how can she handle ours. And that clown, Bunky Luffman, WTF is she thinking?? Bunky has never been a County Executive nor has he ever ran a county or a city. That dude can’t even keep a job longer than 4 years. Maybe she is trying to fake out the Carl Anderton voters?

      1. Bunky Luffman left his low position, just a city employee, with the City of Salisbury to be the “Chief of Staff” for Carl Anderton right after Carl ousted Norman Conway. That job barely lasted over a year and he has held numerous jobs after that. For the 2018 election he worked for both the Hogan Campaign and the Andy Harris Campaign driving his old antique car all over the Eastern Shore. He finally got a newer vehicle. What kind of job security is that? At least he had health care with benefits when he was a city employee. What a dumb move leaving that job? No wonder the “Director of Administration” job looks so appealing to him.

        1. I actually think Ernie Davis works for Julie since even people in his own family know that he has no chance. He was the one Dem who voted against Carl becoming Exec back in 2020. Ernie Davis is more like Clay Davis from “the wire” but fatter, slower, and dumber. With Nutjob julie, we will literally be out of compliance of most admin jobs and state laws….we will have no auditing entity, probably no county attorney and most qualified department heads will leave before she comes in or right after they are able to get decent jobs. At the end of the day, these MAGA clowns like her and her inner circle can’t “keep the lights on” despite how much they scream and act like a bunch of high school girls….they are the opposite of actual principled conservatives. This county is absolutely f’ed and believe me, anyone with money and a brain in the county knows it….

  7. I actaully always loved the look of Powellville and the old building. I can understand why you want them torn down, especially as a property own but as a passer by, I love the way Powellville looks.

    1. Thanks for the comment. I personally believe Powellville is a diamond in the rough. The prices are just right for small businesses to purchase, remodel and sell at a much lower price for first time home buyers. It’s a perfect area, close to Salisbury, Ocean City, Snow Hill, property taxes are very low and it’s affordable. However, while it may be cool to look at these old buildings, they are literally falling down. The old general store can likely fall down right onto Powellville Road and that would be very dangerous. It’s time to move forward before something goes seriously wrong.

  8. I have lived in Powellville my whole life and the sight of these buildings falling down is just heartbreaking. On July 9, 2022 the owner of the Powellville Store had a sale of the kitchen equipment and other things that were left behind. After the sale, they moved everything to the front porch such as chairs, a filing cabinet, a Pepsi Sign, and lots of papers. Due to weather, everything that was on the porch ended up on the road and possibly on other peoples propriety. To my knowledge he has yet to come back to pick up any of the trash and it is still laying there! It is making our little town look like trash, which it is not. My mom and grandparents owned the store so my mom went to the sale and she said it was heartbreaking to see. I agree, that something needs to be done by the County. I know that the powerlines are an issue, but work with the power company to get those moved and then demolish the buildings and hold a control burn by the Powellville Fire Department. Yes, it will be a sad sight to see, but it may open doors to a possibility of another store or gas station. It could be a replica of what the Powellville Store used to be, with of course the updates required. I truly love Powellville and the people in it and I feel like the buildings are an embarrassment. We are famous for our Oyster Fritters and people travel from Virginia to get one. Come on Wicomico County. Help a small community out because we are worth it.

    1. its not the government’s job to pump the taxpayer money into private property that the owners won’t take care of…..my tax dollars don’t subsidize your antiques…go make money and pull yourself up by your own bootstraps…

      1. I couldn’t agree with you more. Although, it’s not just the private properties it is affecting. If these buildings were to fall down on their own guess where they would land? Right on the main road that goes from Willards all the way to Snow Hill. This would cause a road closure, power outages, and what if there is an emergency? So your tax dollars would not be used to “Subsidize our antiques.” It would be used to make sure that these buildings are taken down safely.

      2. Properties are privately owned, it is the owners responsibility and right to do what they want with their properties. People should worry about their own property not someone else’s. Should property come up for sale let’s see all the complainers then put in their offers to buy

  9. just 9% of eligible voters went to the polls in this primary and 3.6 % of them voted for nutjob Julie…that’s the tiny minority we can blame when my business goes under with all of the insanity and anti-business “plans” she has…..was Psota that bad? My God at least he was a fiscal conservative, a LEO who could balance a budget….time to switch counties if I can…..

    1. 3:59 You should really go see a therapist. You’re having quite the meltdown. Whatcha gonna do come November? ?

  10. I guess Psota will be in the unemployment line come December!

    Bunky Luffman will get his job. ??? Julie thinks Bunky Luffman will know how to run Wicomico County? BWAHAHAHAHA! He is just as liberal as Cornbread is. What has Bunky Luffman ever supervised? I will give you a hint. NOTHING. A nice quy but just as unqualified as the school teacher is!

    1. Like I said earlier, Julie will need to find qualified people to help her. My statement months ago was that she’s not qualified to be county executive and I meant no harm of ill will against her, it’s a fact. However, Mike Dunn and the Greater Salisbury committee want to take over the City and County and merge everything he can get his hands on. It’s a very bad situation and as usual not enough of a voter turn out will create crazy situations that we just witnessed. in the mean time I can assure you Julie will win and it is vital she surrounds herself with the best experience she can find and Bunky is NOT one of them. As you said, nice guy but good Lord, give me a break. If Julie turns into Mike Dunn’s puppet and everyone rubber stamps everything I can assure you I will be back in the City and County calling them all out again. Should be fun times, for me anyway.

      1. She’s basically a rag doll these days. Hardly smart enough to be anyone’s Puppet. She’s another LOOK at ME listen TOO me Hear me ROAR New Republican grandstander like Palin and Marjorie Taylor what’s her name. There’s nothing Political about it at all it’s Junior High School popularity contests and social media Popularity and self-aggrandizing. The whole GOP has adopted that ethic Honey Boo Boo Trump proved you don’t have to be smart knowledgable or even read anything and understand Economics, History or Global Affairs. You just have to Bluster and make people feel good and feel like they have a President like Disney has Mickey Mouse and he KNOWS it better than anyone. He’s never REALLY done anything but make a name for himself. Sadly we are in times where it’s going to require much more than just siding with those who make us feel validated and right both Parties are Jokes and we have been duped into division. These ARE just people. Not much smarter or more informed than most people that can read and manage their own household family and affairs.

        1. I suspect Julie won’t last 6 months because of her committing an actual state crime and not having anyone around her who will notice or care about it happening before its too late and the charges have been filed. The real tragedy in all of this is that 100K people in this county depend on a functioning government for basic services…like it or not…that requires having a team of adults.

        2. Being a politician doesn’t mean you have to be smart 6:10, just look at the democratic party for hundreds of examples to prove that. Trump wasn’t a politician and the country was thriving despite his oppostion.

          1. yeah thriving as in 1 Million dead of Covid, failing to build the wall, 8 trillion in debt, massive tariffs that hurt American manufacturers and acting like a 5 year old with a twitter account…he couldn’t even create his dictatorship sucessfully….he also lost the Whitehouse, senate and house in one term….LOSER…

      2. Newflash to anyone not living in condemned houses in Powellville…..Bunky Luffman literally approached Mr. Psota for a job several months back…but because Bunky (christ what an awful name) is Cornbread’s boy and quite an actual lefty on state issues Psota told him “no thanks” while he sought an professional from outside the good old boy network. Now the irony with nutjob julie is that she can ONLY surround herself with second rate good old boys like Beauchamp and Cooper who are going to help create even more turnover and vacancies that she could very well resign for face state charges for the lack of oversight that is coming. Can you imagine Julie taking time off of her twitter account to manage the tax returns? She literally told Acle the other day at the county council that “we don’t need a grant writer” as a full time county employee because its too much paperwork…OK then…LOL. Even Acle couldn’t keep a straight face at that moment. And yes….Mike Dunn is freaking yuppie loon who didn’t appreciate how many rubes were taken in by Julie but Mike Lewis and Cannon were openly telling everyone around them to vote for John because Giordano will make Julie Brewington look competent…. The real funny thing about this is what a CUCK Carl Anderton became. Julie, Cooper, and her rag Acle blocked him from being the county executive last year and he turned around and decided to back Julie a few months ago because he knows that she will either A) never finish a complete term or B) she will destroy the county to such a point that he’ll look skilled and competent in 4 years…..its a cute strategy but it requires him being willing to let this county collapse and take all of us with it….that alone should make him a suspect candidate in the future. what a dumpster fire this county has just been thrown into….

      3. Julie has already made tons of promises to many people, people who are not qualified. It will be a nightmare! Wicomico County will be the first county in the state to file Bankruptcy!

  11. Nothing will be done until some bored teens set one afire for entertainment. Or some bonehead ODs in a corner of one of them and isn’t found for weeks.

    1. Why do the white families choose to live like that? Why don’t they get jobs and support themselves in a decent lifestyle and make smarter choices?

      1. 7:56 I don’t know. Maybe they decided to join the other group of losers who never work and spend their life on government assistance.

  12. Can someone explain why and how JC Richardson poured $15,000 into Giordano’s campaign? Is he one of the people Julie promised a Director job to? Maybe he will be the county code enforcement officer and clean up those properties, Joe?

  13. Did Psota ever go out there to see those properties??

    Those sh!t stains are too far gone to be renovated. Psota, get off your lazy a$$ and get them demolished.

  14. Wicomighetto County, Maryland. Ran, controlled and owned by Mike Dumb and the Greater Ghettobury Committee and their Sister group the the Ghettobury Area Chamber of Commerce. Ran by Belly Chamberpots. Send that Clown back across the Bay where he came from!

    Wicomighetto County is now owned by Mike Dumb, Bill Chambers, Gay Day and the entire Gillis Klan. Oh and yes, Brad Gillis’ wife works for Mike Dumb at the Greater Ghettobury Committee. Does anyone smell a rat in the wood pile?

  15. Can someone explain to us why the Republicans in Wicomico County elected John Cannon, the biggest RINO in the County? What The F*** were you thinking??? Wait until Giordano, Luffman, Cannon, Gillis, Monica Brooks, Jeff Merritt and Josh Hastings removes your Revenue Cap! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

  16. When riding to OC, which is not very often, I really prefer to ride down Mt. Hermon Rd to Powellville. It really is very sad to see all the rundown houses and businesses that would have been so nice to be kept up with. Such a quaint little town, but now those in charge of the county need to get with the program and get done what needs to be done. It has been ignored far too long, which is truly a shame. Help the people who helped get you elected and do something about this community, quit turning a blind eye. You politicians were elected to get things accomplished, not for your own personal agenda items all the time, as you seem to think.

  17. Thank you Councilman Larry Dodd for helping you out with those dilapidated properties in Annapolis! Councilman Dodd has always been very responsive when it came to helping us and our Home Owners Association. He has always been my go to person on the County Council when John Cannon and Bill McCain weren’t. They either ignored the emails or passed the buck to someone else in the county. I will tell you someone else who has been a big disappointment, John Psota has! John Psota hasn’t returned our emails or our phone calls!

  18. Nancy Derickson

    I love old buildings I wish the people who own them would sell them so people could maintain them . Age and money can be why people dont maintain them. Hope it not to late.

  19. Joe,
    Thank you for sharing this information and putting the truth out there about the communities fight to do something with these properties. One family, the Marshalls, is persistent in alluding the county taxpayers with lies and deception. They say they are going to fix up the properties but nothing is done. They promise new windows, a new roof and nothing. Taxpayers need to look at how often the county has paid for the grass cutting on these properties. Taxes have gone unpaid. Enough is enough. Taxpayers need to stand up against people like the Marshalls who have deceived the locals and county. Contact the Planning and Zoning department and demand action.

    1. @11:24 pm, that was just a trick to win over Carl Anderton’s support and his voters. Have you ever heard of “Bait and Switch?” Well guess what, that is what is going to happen after Giordano doles out all the jobs she made promise for! She will give Nicole Acle the Director of Administration job and Dan McHugh will get the Deputy Director of Administration job. Barry Beauchamp will be given the Water and Sewer Director’s job. So where will Bunky Luffman go?

    2. Is this the same Greg Marshall that never pays his property taxes until the last minute and has robbed people for years for corvette repairs that never were started or completed?

  20. You all do know that since most of the lazy Republicans stayed home that the County Council will now be controlled by Mike Dunn and Bill Chambers, don’t you? Now we will have Julie Giordano, Gillis, Cannon, Shields, Merritt, Baker, Hastings and Holloway. Bye, Bye Revenue Cap and say hello higher taxes!

    They could care less about properties in the county that look like this! All they care about is downtown Salisbury. The only one that might put up a fight is Holloway!

  21. So why was Doug Marshall a big investor in Julie Giordano. Shane Baker and James Winn’s campaigns? He was even a “silent investor” but why did he want them to win so bad? Even Carl Anderton and Bunky Luffman were behind their campaigns. What do they want rubber stamped?

    Doug Marshall was even behind that coup in Delmar. What a bunch of crooked rattle snakes.

  22. william peterson

    Getting back to the topic, who owns these Powellvillle properties? It’s time to shine the light on the owners. Public disclosure sure get results.

  23. How many people who live in Powellville are complaining? They have the right to petition the government for assistance. All it takes to create a matter of record is a letter with their signatures written to the county executive and council, and read aloud at a public session of the council. After that, no one can say, “Nobody ever told us or asked for help.” The county government is reminded of its responsibilities and will, probably with many reminders, be more likely to act.

    1. Many residents in Powellville have formally complained in writing. I’ve already mentioned how I contacted council members and the executives office. I don’t need to stand on pac 14 complaining. I also have this format to share such information. There’s also a multi chain letter between residents who complained and even property owners. This is how we know the county is sitting on their hands for the most part. This is also why I mentioned that no permits have been filed in the past 9 months for these properties.

  24. You people are dumb as Hell to think that Julie Giordano and John Cannon are GOP conservatives and you voted for them! What the Hell were you thinking! Neither one of them care about those properties in Powellville! They are the biggest Jake Day loving RINO’s in Wicomico County! They only care about pleasing Jake Day, Mike Dunn and Bill Chambers. Bunch of fools!

    1. 6:43 You seem really upset. I’m curious how you feel about that Biden vote you cast? Maybe that’s where all your anger is coming from. You should really see a therapist. All that anger isn’t good for you.

  25. Forget Wicomico County it’s a Corrupt cesspool of backstabbing Politicians and greedy Thieves, Nothing is going to Change until you get new leadership, But with primary elections ending this past july 19th, putting these Clowns in Office will not change things one bit for this county, as matter of fact it will continue to get worse, not better.

  26. Maybe! The owners could sell the wood piece by piece. Some folks make things out of old barn wood. That would remove part of the buildings and make some money. I don’t think another store would make it, because of Walmart, WaWa, and Royal Farm, etc. The Post Office is already out.

  27. Ins Salisbury the slum lords are on the city Council or are their buddies: Stu Leer, John Cannon, Bunky Nielson, out of state landlords who just let the houses rot don’t repair, sell or rent to good renters only interested in tax write offs they can have in Salisbury. Check out the one across from the Salvation Army Thift Store trees that hide the front windows , a house that is about to fall down. The house at the end of Jackson Street on your left even has signs in all the abandoned vehicles “CAMERAS IN USE” multiple trucks, cars, utility trailers, travel trailers, the whole side on the left and front yard full too, who are they paying off that it has looked like this for years? The Bronx in NY looks better than the city of Salisbury. DO WE NEED TO SEND THE PICTURES AGAIN.?

    1. @1:18 PM, did it occur to you that we need to clean up the political garbage in Wicomico County??? Of course you did because this is Julie or one of her toxic followers from the Delmarva Conservative Movement!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice try, though! ????

      1. @3:58 PM, that is exactly what I was thinking!! Those comments are a deflection from Julie or one of her toxic followers from their Progressive group the Delmarva Conservative Movement! F them!

  28. I can’t wait until our Lord and Savior, Julie, cleans up the entire county after she rips the Board of Education a new one. She is already promising to send he enemies packing. Everyone of her coworkers who attacked her on FB will be looking for a new job, according to what she is telling us!
