Leaving it as green space could “work well” as an extension to Smith Park, Gilleland said.

“As long as a historic building is not involved, I love to see new green space spouting all over town,” she said.

God forbid something happens to a "Historical Building."Sick and tired of hearing Historical,green space and South Main Street Snobs wish all of them would just crawl back into their caves and leave us normal folks alone. 

Be a good overflow parking lot for when Smith Park has something going on there.Move on to other pressing issues.Oh I forgot who I was talking to,are "SPINELESS ONES."LOL

Hey, that fancy executive office enclosure in the lower right photo looks kinda upscale doesn't it? Real wood or Sauter fiberboard?
Gotta salvage that for Mike P's home office.

Eyesore? 

The City Building you mention was designed by noted Chicago architect Harry Weese.

You might not like it, but it is a good example of 20th century modernism.


I believe ktf was joking by the icon posted. The city building is, by Middletown standards, a nice looking building and is reasonably pleasant to look at. The only thing wrong with the city building is the inhabitants.

NO NO  We cannot tear down the city building now that we have the school district renting the fourth floor for $5000 a month. That should get us out of the red. Maybe that could be put toward the fancy lights on S. Main. Better yet maybe any left over office space could be converted into Section 8 apartments.

Oh, KTF, don't give our city manager any ideas. She would jump on that in a heart beat. Ofcourse she gets the corner office.

Glad to see this hazardous, eyesore being removed. Now, we can expect to see more green space in the downtown area for the creation of a shuttle service to CS OR a Park and Ride for Smith Park as people park their cars in the lot and take the bus less than a quarter mile up the road to Smith. This extra parking lot will help when the hot air balloon fests are going on and will eleviate parking issues when the "millions" (Morts last count) of people invade Smith. Good to see the downtown area becoming wide-open with the city's "Open Range" gameplan. In time, one will be able to drive down there and gaze upon acres of grazing land and literally be able to look across town, view unobstructed.

Noticed today the impound lot has been vacated.
