From today's Journal story, it sounds like Sammie has "the mural"!!! 
 
I guess he'll be making a few bucks overseeing the restoration of it, strictly for his love of history.  Still, as chairman of the Commission on Landmarks and Historic Structures, wouldn't it be a CONFLICT of INTEREST for him to make money on the deal???
 
Related to the above, has anyone else noticed how, when we bring up a story here lately, The Journal soon follows with one???  Just coincidental, I'm sure.

Mural was removed prior to demo. Not sure where its being kept or if a location has been selected.]]> Wed, 24 Feb 2010 21:49:19 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2714&PID=16883&title=sorg-demo-2#16883 Sorg Demo 2 : viper771 wrote:Hummm I wonder... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2714&PID=16882&title=sorg-demo-2#16882 Author: 409

Viper.........Don't know if they saved the mural or not. Originally they were supposed to save it. I didn't get a picture of the mural. I was going to get some pix but the demolition started sooner than I was told.

~~Now at midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see
That nobody is escaping
To Desolation Row~~
 
By the way, that was a pretty old building!!!  Where were the Historical Society and all of the other history buffs when this was decided???

Mike- you think city hall would allow low income housing right across the street from the Manchester? Wouldn't that add to the troubles for them as to image and clientele? Would give the low incomers a nice view of the Great Miami Riverfront though, especially on those upper floor units. Why am I thinking about the TV show "Good Times" about now?

By the pictures, it looks like Ben Ligon's old Gulf service station has withstood the test of time. Kinda looks a little desolate now doesn't it? 'Ole Ben's got plenty of room between neighbors now.

Middletown---- like Bob Dylan's song says.......Desolation Row. Or how about the Pretenders song about going back to Ohio where everything was a parking lot?

Thanks city leaders!!!! ]]> Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:44:54 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2714&PID=16859&title=sorg-demo-2#16859 Sorg Demo 2 : ^Perhaps they wanted to be a better... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2714&PID=16856&title=sorg-demo-2#16856 Author: SupportMiddletown

^Perhaps they wanted to be a better corporate citizen, remove a maintenance concern, or save on their insurance. I doubt there is anything occuring in connection with the city.]]> Wed, 24 Feb 2010 04:50:08 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2714&PID=16856&title=sorg-demo-2#16856 Sorg Demo 2 : Looks like adandy spotfor more... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2714&PID=16855&title=sorg-demo-2#16855 Author: Mike_Presta

Looks like a dandy spot for more of the low-income housing that Donham Plaza seems to crave, if only city hall could somehow get their hands on it!!!
 
It makes one wonder why, all of a sudden, this company would decide to go to the expense of demolishing shuttered plant buildings when they have no short or long range plans for re-using the reclaimed land.
 
Could there be some "back room, closed door" deal-making going on here???
 
How about it, City Hall???  When will the CITIZENS be allowed to know how you intend to spend OUR money???
