So many people around Salisbury have supported the efforts to rehabilitate Shober Bridge----our thanks go out to them all.

We can support North Main Neighborhood this week as Arbor Day is celebrated there by the City of Salisbury. Read on for details.

The City of Salisbury Tree Board has selected the North Main Neighborhood for its 2010 Arbor Day Celebration! On Friday April 23rd at 12:00 noon, we welcome all to attend the lunch-time Arbor Day tree planting event in the two blocks of W. Miller Street between N. Main and N. Jackson Streets. The Haps Hot Dog Cart will be there to sell hot-dogs, drinks, and chips. The City will have pre-dug the holes for the flowering crab apple trees and will provide shovels, gloves, etc. for anyone who would like to participate. This is a great event for children so we hope you can come out! The City will receive a TREE CITY award at this event, and there will be guest speakers and other fun stuff! So please come join the fun - plant a tree - revitalize a neighborhood!

See you there!

This Pace Matters

Put this date on your calendar: Friday, April 9, 2010
Where do you want to be?

Shober Bridge at the intersection of North Ellis Street and West Kerr
What time do you want to be there? 6:15

Here is the info you need: This Place Matters is part of a nationwide campaign for the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Interested persons are asked to come to Shober Bridge next Friday, April 9, at 6:15 to have a picture made holding a banner proclaiming This Place Matters. Not only will this help get publicity out in our local area but this will make Shober Bridge nationally known. We would love to have a big crowd in the picture---standing on the bridge and off to the side at the intersection of W Kerr and N. Ellis. We want to get there, take the picture, then let everyone head out to enjoy the week-end.

We have permission to park at the homes of Pete and Debbie Hoffman at 416 West Kerr or William and Annie Shaw at 429 North Ellis.

You are encouraged to write letters to the Post supporting rehabilitation of the bridge. Information on points for consideration can be found at the Shober Bridge group on Yahoo. We also have a blog at

Have you signed the petition yet? That can be done at Historic Salisbury's website.

If you would like a yard sign, there are plenty at the Historic Salisbury office at the Depot.
