When did Mr. Bevis tell you this? I will bet again, you don't know the whole truth, just what JG tells you.

From this week's City Manager's newsletter:

Start Skydiving

City and Start Skydiving representatives met Friday morning, 8/26/11, to discuss improvements at the airport.  Negotiations between the parties were amicable and centered on resolving remaining issues.  The City will continue meeting with Start Skydiving as needed to work through a win-win solution.   We will continue to update council as developments occur.

Speaking of the City Manager's newsletter:
 
Perhaps, at least one “artist” was practicing the ecdysiast’s art, if these photographs linked from the City Manager’s newsletter to Facebook, and from the PAC website, are representative.

Great pictures this is one way to get some foot traffic into this TAXPAYERS investment.  For all that money could we have at least cleaned up the floors and thrown down a little base molding?  I know "Straving Artist"  I wonder if PAC did any advertising over at the airport to promote themselves, of course their will only be a couple of thousand people in town.  I'm sure the visitors center has this handled or the new dowtown czar. Win-win solutions would be doing your job like you were told a year and half ago.  Or calling have of the town to find out what to do will work also. I'm glad for the airport and will try to stop talking about this MESS but this just shows me how I'll be voting in Nov.

Bevis just trying to bail himself out of a financial jam. Will probably end up working for the crook himself as a reward for handing over FBO business.

Well any way you can make a buck with this "Business friendly" town is just par for the course.  Maybe the "crook" will have room for some of the council people who won't be in office and OK'ed this deal.  Please let me know were I can go this wkend in Middletown that will have the same venue even close to the airport's, please!

The bottom line is the entire deal between Bevis and Hart has nothing to do with what is in the best interest of the airport or community.

It is driven by money (a bail out for Bevis) and another way for Hart to use the airport for his own best interest.

considering all of the poorly planned/poorly executed/very expensive municipal-to-private bailouts in this community over the last few years(mostly in the dead zones formerly known as downtown and the S Main hysterical district), this is a good situation--logical and somewhat minor. Problem is that the usual roster of good ole boys and their enablers PROBABLY aren't getting a cut out of this one.
 
How about a 3-5 year break from throwing more $$ in the former downtown area?
With no one honestly in charge any more, maybe time for Admin to bow out.
 Let the wealthy/successful property owners use theior own $$ and skills for future development.
City Admin could be re-acquainted with the rest of the city(which they supposedly serve), and deal with similar issues that have been ignored for decades.
 
Hey Mtown--what have you contributed to the community and the needy so far this year?

While listening to the symphony music on TV middletown, I heard a commercial about PAC and it was about the 1st Friday at the Middletown Arts Center.  It stated "Come to 1st Friday in Middletown and visit over 100 artist in Middletown Art District" or something to that effect.  I didn't know we had a Middletown Art District yet or 100 Artists, but I guess we do according to the commercial.

Bottom line ..................... If these two gentleman offend anyone for "Lining their pockets" in this town take it up with the leadership that is suppose to have a handle on our local interest.  GDit  we all are still supporting this airport. If there are "unethical" actions taking place over at Fast tracks show the evidence and I'll be more than happy to step down to the podium and speak up, have done it before. What a catch 22 when using the word unethical in this town, LOL.  If best interest means tax revenues and several hundred people staying over in this town for the wkend lets hope Labor day happens every wk.  I'll be quite interested going down to see all 100 artist at the PAC , If I see Mr. Verdin I'll make sure to thank him for allowing us to come in for one Friday. What a great return on MY money.  Pacman have now asked  three more people for a count of true VENDORS who are paying sales tax at PAC and still can't get an answer, of course it's hard when they are laughing.  Sorry SJ one cat is to many for me.

Mr. Spiderjohn:

The "fur-kini" lady appears to be lacking in adequate material for some of her artistic creations.  Perhaps she would be receptive to your offer of free cats.

Bottom line =
Bevis in financial trouble puts together buy out of his contract with City to a convicted felon.
Bevis should quit lying about having the city or airport interest at heart.

I understand that PAC is having a performance of a portion of The Beauty and The Beast tonight and that is being performed by the Performing Arts Center (a Children's theater group).  Having seen the performance recently (or make that heard it) that may account for 30 or 40 of the artist the PAC is talking about.

Good point Pac - Pac has welcomed  this group with open arms in the past. And it was a hit with Ashworths B-day, had the whole joint Rockn.  The Beauty and The Beast was a hit although you HAD to drive to Monroe to see it.  The folks out at Monroe High are awesome but it does cost the PA some cash.  Lets hope all went well downtown, i'm sure we'll all read about in the journal.

Not as big of crowd like last year but we didn't have 98degree temps.either.  Great food, great fireworks and most importantly(at least for me wanting this airport to support itself) people spending money.  Didn't see any box wine at this event.

hey swat--didn't make it to the airport(wasn't invited), but wife and I made it to our first first Friday at PAC(come 2 think about it-wasn't invited there either). From many looks, my popularity with the city powers and shakers in that area may be at an all-time low.
 
Well-attended by a lot of locals--as you mentioned a lot of grazing and wine-sipping on the house and artists. Had a nice time talking with locals, and actually dropped some cash at the most excellent soap shop. Didn't see any other purchase bags sadly. Maybe more of a social event than a business event.
 
Place looks good--getting better.
Pretty much sos as far as merchandise. If you find what you want or need, good for you!
Went by Sat.morning, but no action and the place looked to be locked up.
 
Had a most excellent taste outside of Beau Verre from the new in-town Caribbean restaurant, which is run by some of my favorite authentic locals. Try their fruit punch when you make it to the location. A very clean venue.
 
PAC--like the rest of that area, is going to be a long-term project to regularly draw people down there.
Not much shakin'
Met the head lady there--a former local--very nice and wish her the best
 
FREE draws down there--little else
Alligator arms when it is time to dig into the purse or back pocket
Someday maybe--though not waitng on the arts, train or any school
All of the action is still at Buck's saloon/fine dining

SJ, I know of at least a few other purchases that were made at First Friday. Are they huge $$ amounts? Probably not but there was some activity.
