Hey Thanks for the website. Very interesting as it is helping me know what schools and other towns are in the area. The numbers are amazing on how they can be high in one school in Salisbury but low in the next. This will help me narrow my search and learn more on the towns.

LOL, Once sir, I wasnt ranting, merely an observation! I found it slow to adjust simply based on the lack of activities to do in Salisbury. Also finding work as an outsider was definately a challenge. And NYMD67's comment on businesses not returning your call or getting up with you when you get around to it coudn't be more true. Thats why your plumber is driving around in a 15 year old rickety van! Most times you can find as much good as bad anywhere you go, you are right, different stokes! (Makes us city folk scratch our heads tho!)

One of my faults is is when we are down in MD we spend most of our time looking around Salisbury and checked other towns but not as much as Salisbury that I really don't know where to go.

Not to sound racist or anything and I don't want anyone to take it this the wrong way but I'm white and my wife is filipino so we would like to be in a white neighborhood. If I work I think I am gonna end up in the Salsibury, Snow Hill, Wicomico County area so I really don't want a huge commute to work. Maybe I'm to use to living 10 mins from work now but to give you an idea I can deal with a 20 - 30 min commute.

Again all Thanks for your help. I'm really in the beginning stages of making all this happen but all your thoughts are giving me ideas and I'm learning more.

Easy son, There's nothing wrong for us to wanna live in a neighborhood that the majority of people are white. Don't try and start something that isn't there. LMFAO

ANYWAYS! I wanna say thanks for the few people that gave me decent websites to search. I knew I wouldn't get anything concrete from this website and most of the posts are proof people just like to ramble out garbage. This post can be removed as I will not be checking it any further so I can try and find more usefull websites and information regarding what I need.

Wasn't trying to start anything at all. Just a comment. Nothing more. BTW I'm ALL woman.

Interesting that someone would say Fruitland schools are good but Salisbury schools are bad, since they're ALL Wicomico County Schools, and no matter where you are, you end up going to middle and high school in Salisbury, unless you live in Delmar, Mardela, or on the eastside.

The Salisbury area is a nice place to live. The city of Salisbury has some issues with disfunctional politics and some bad neighborhoods. But a lot of folks live in Wicomico County, pay just county taxes, yet consider themselves Salisburians and take full advantage of what the city offers. Like, for example, everyone that lives off of Nanticoke Rd.

Geography is probably the area's strong suit. While there are a lot of nice things in Salisbury, you're also close to the beach, the Bay, and DC and Baltimore. So if you like those things, yet don't want to live in DC and can't afford Worcester County, then Salisbury may be the way to go.

Hi I live in the Salisbury area now and I came from arizona and ny and do not like this area. ocean city is okay but there is absolutly nothing here but chicken farms. when my family moved here it was inpossible to find work, and ended up going to job service company and worked for 9.00 an hour for 6 months. I am relocating to nc and found lot cheaper and housing market right now is great. Some people here are not very nice and they dont like outsiders.

Concerned about family safety and a better life? I'd stay away from Salisbury. Definite place to move is Queen Annes, Caroline, or Talbot County. Most of the locals have been there FOREVER, I'm somewhere around 10th generation Queen Anne's County, maybe more, and members of the the 12th generation have been born recently. It's a slower pace, easier to get along with everyone. Mostly everyone is accepted as long as you pull your own weight (get a job if able bodied and don't depend on the system). Most of the time you are close enough to Delaware to hit up Wal-Mart for tax free shopping. There are extremely different places on the Shore, you just have to find which is right for you. I can't talk too much about other counties than Queen Anne's because I've never lived anywhere except Grasonville. Check out wikipedia and search possible towns you would like to move to. You will be happiest in a town with people like your self (some towns are more labor oriented, or play to a crowd with a certain level of income.)
