Took a ride down queen to Crawford hadn't been through there in many years and I was shocked how it had changed. Many areas in town are hopeless its sad to see but its true. We bought our current house in 2003 it's now worth 35,000 less than what we paid for it. And I doubt it will ever rebound.]]> Tue, 09 Jun 2015 02:41:10 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6086&PID=45715&title=ben-ligons#45715 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6086&PID=45711&title=ben-ligons#45711 Author: middletownscouter

A little hyperbolic at 80% but I don't disagree that many of the abandoned properties around town are not being maintained by their owners (absentee landlords, the banks or the city). Many of them could be rehabbed or repurposed.]]> Mon, 08 Jun 2015 09:48:59 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6086&PID=45711&title=ben-ligons#45711 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6086&PID=45707&title=ben-ligons#45707 Author: Bocephus

Middletown scooter "I don't disagree with the sentiment that continuing to demolish building and structures all over town is excessive and short-sighted, but I'm not the least bit upset about Ben Ligon's. It was dilapidated, unkempt and an absolute eyesore." 

By that logic then 80% of Middletown should be bull dozed.

 According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 26.43 square miles, that you could say that is unkempt and an absolute eyesore !! even Bristol Palin writes about her experience in Middletown in her autobiography Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far. In the book, she details her stay at the Manchester Inn, "the raggedy old hotel" that her family stayed in, as well as her introduction to cockroaches. only one thing left to do and that is tie up your pant legs up and start those bulldozers because it has all gone to hell !!]]> Mon, 18 May 2015 12:04:14 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6086&PID=45568&title=ben-ligons#45568 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6086&PID=45567&title=ben-ligons#45567 Author: middletownscouter
