More Trolley Pictures from Salisbury Early 1900's

This picture was taken looking north on Main Street from a little bit south of the Square or the intersection of Main and Innes Streets. The "tall" building you see in the background is currently where Spanky's Deli is. You will note that the trolley had to compete with the horse-drawn carriage in the early 1900's here.

This picture, while you don't see the actual trolley tracks, shows the electric street car lines along the road side. The 3rd picture here was taken from the Grubb Building looking south on Main Street and you can make out the trolley tracks in the center of the street and you can again see the electric lines along the east side of Main Street. The large standpipe, a water resevoir for the City, no longer stands but used to be near the Fisher Street and Church Street intersection.

North Main Newsletter

In July, the Old North Salisbury Association sent out our first newsletter. This is something we would like to distribute on a routine basis, probably quarterly, so watch your mailboxes! We still do not know all the neighbors, residents, and homeowners in the community. We used a list of folks provided by the City of Salisbury's property tax info to try to get the news letter to your address. If you did NOT receive the letter ~ please let us know (oldnorthsalisbury@gmail.com) ! As time goes on we will be able to build an accurate list of members of our community...YOU, your friends, your neighbors, and the businesses in our area. This is important to YOU so that you can know what is happening in the community you live and work in. Copies of the letter can be found at Spenzanelli's Coffee Shop at the corner of Kerr St. and North Main St. if you missed out on getting one in your mailbox.

Our additional challenge is in seeing to it that both renters and landlords receive the news, as well as the homeowner-resident. If you rent at your residence, you are no less positioned to be a positive contributor to the community and we need your voice! As a landlords, you need to be aware of any changes in the community that may effect either your tenants or your property. So please, please make sure you are connected to the Old North Salisbury Association!

Another great avenue for receiving this local news update is, of course, the Internet. In the interest of going green, we can email the newsletter to you at a greatly reduced time and cost frame. Email us at oldnorthsalisbury@gmail.com, provide your contact information and email address. The more folks we can get tuned in the stronger we are as a community.
