2nd Downtown Salisbury Restaurant Closes

Social by Echelon website

Within the last month two restaurants have closed in downtown Salisbury.

The latest is the barbeque place known as Social by Echelon which was hoped to be a key in bringing business back to the area.

The other restaurant was the Cellar Door owned by Wicomico County Executive Bob Culver.

It has been in business for the past two years.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that Echelon had one of the most prominent locations at Main and Division streets.

The city of Salisbury loaned the owner $24-thousand to pay for the upgrades to the facility before it opened last September
