I say the low loans are a scam most all of us living on fixed incomes do the best we can with what we can spare. If you get a low loan and are unable to repay they will step in and take your home turn it over for a section 8 in My opinion. I personaly think as I stated before their are much more serious problems with Middletown. What good does it do to paint with the dirt and dust from unpaved streetsand polluting industry,section 8, a  school  system thats at the bottom of the pit, crime going up . Down at city hall everything is rosy they need to worry  more   about seniors , unemployed,disabled keeping their propertty up to standards. They stillsay nothing to those commerical and industrial property owners about unmowed grass deterioting buildings and those needing paint. As I said before  Middletonians  arise lets take our city back in November]]> Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:14:56 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1512&PID=8170&title=neighborhood-clean-up#8170 neighborhood clean up : Good luck getting a low interest... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1512&PID=8158&title=neighborhood-clean-up#8158 Author: Bobbie

Good luck getting a low interest rate loan from the city.  You have to have perfect credit, low loan to value on your home, and low debt ratio.  They harder then the banks.]]> Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:29:27 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1512&PID=8158&title=neighborhood-clean-up#8158 neighborhood clean up : Anyone know what the cities connection... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1512&PID=8156&title=neighborhood-clean-up#8156 Author: Hermes

Anyone know what the cities connection is to these low interest loans they offer to fix up your house ? With 2300 letters of repair being sent out and the offer of loans almost sounds like something the mafia would do. Have you ever found your car with a flat tire and a guy standing 5 feet away who will sell you a much needed tire for 3 times the going price ? MMmmmm.........Shocked]]> Mon, 06 Jul 2009 08:53:45 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1512&PID=8156&title=neighborhood-clean-up#8156 neighborhood clean up : CITY's HOUSING CODE ENFORCEMENT... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1512&PID=8150&title=neighborhood-clean-up#8150 Author: Smokey Burgess

CITY's HOUSING CODE ENFORCEMENT BLITZKRIEG UNDERWAY!!
 
Earlier tonight I received a phone call from a good friend who also happens to be a retired Ward 2 homeowner.  He notified me that the Community Revitalization Department recently sent him a "love letter" that cited the front porch of his modest home as needing paint.
 
This 79-year old African-American is a single man and was one of the very first Minorities to serve aboard a U.S. Navy submarine as an enlisted man after the integration of the milirary in the late 1940's.  He lives on a fixed income and does his best to keep his home presentable.  And, he has volunteered many hours of his time helping Middletonians.
 
I told him that I and others will purchase paint and materials to help him correct this "crucial problem"ConfusedConfused that the City has identified.  We do this because the City knows that there are 2,300 violators who must be reprimanded.
 
This man (and friend) is a real stand-up guy.  He was an active member of the now-defunct HUD Consolidated Planning Committee until City staff decided to "squash real citizen's participation" late last year.

Hermes >   I have a 1986 chevy s-10, I dont know when it was washed last. If a cop stops here and tells me to wash it, I will give him a bucket of soapy water and sponge and tell him to earn his money. He is not getting paid for this crap, is this some more of Aunte Anns bull sh*t.]]> Sun, 05 Jul 2009 09:25:49 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1512&PID=8128&title=neighborhood-clean-up#8128 neighborhood clean up : Mike_Presta wrote:Hmm...I drive... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1512&PID=8125&title=neighborhood-clean-up#8125 Author: Hermes

Is there "more" to this story?
It is rather hard to swallow,but factual. As I stated above my vehicles are not "mud hoppers" or "hill climbers" or any of that "redneck what ya doin dis weekend"type of crap. My vehicles are well maintained,licensed & insured. ]]> Sun, 05 Jul 2009 08:40:07 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1512&PID=8125&title=neighborhood-clean-up#8125 neighborhood clean up : Hmm...I drive a 2002 model that... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1512&PID=8114&title=neighborhood-clean-up#8114 Author: Mike_Presta

The problem Hermes is he is wrong and if he doesn't know that then maybe he is in the wrong profession.

Well that is what I was told and I played it cool I was in no hurry to have half the PD force in front of my house.
Yes the officer did look a little young but he was nice about it,I don't really think it was a power trip,I believe he actually thought that was the law and he could enforce it plus I think he was the "beautification" officer of the day.
The problem with the whole thing is he was doing this to me while hookers & drug dealers walked up and down the street. Apperantly I was more of a priority than real criminals.

Hermes next time ask for a copy of the Codified Ordinance that he is supposedly getting his info from.
 
Crap I drive a 15 year old van that I haven't washed in 5 years, I am probably on Middletowns 10 Most Wanted List by now.
 
Hey Middletown paints the sides of buildings now we can add a whole new art form to the Downtown area, Dirty Car Art, Hermes the City will love you then and your problems will be solved:
