Thursday, August 6, 2009 was the opening of the Cincinnati Premium
Outlet Mall in Monroe and even though the economy is not the greatest,
it did not stop people from coming out to shop and enjoying all this
mall has to offer. MiddletownUSA.com was there for the ribbon cutting,
which took place a little after 9:00am Thursday morning. For the full story and to see how this affects Middletown click here http://middletownusa.com/view_news.asp?a=4546%20 - New Monroe Mall Opens |

There was not a single parking place left yesterday, I bet today will be more of the same.

Lets see...Monroe gets a really nice outlet mall and Middletown gets a coke plant. The coke plant creates a few jobs and helps the mill so people make a little more money that they can spend at the outlet mall in Monroe. So Warren County & Monroe get the tax dollars. Yeah I can see how that will benefit Middeltown,along with the tourist. 
Gives Middletonians a great out-of-town shopping experience ! ------------- No more democrats no more republicans,vote Constitution Party !! |

| I would much rather have a mall over a coke plant, As it sits now we dont have either one. But If I needed a job you could bet that I would be in Monroe with a pen and a resume in hand. |

When Fazio's opened in Middletown, next to the highway, it was the highest producing restaurant in the chain; a few years later it was among the lowest and went out of business. Ikea was a sensation, would get trampled for a year trying to get in and out, now its a nice facility to but cheap furniture. The Mall is new, so its a fad. and will have a following. It will be in high viibility for awhile. And it should be sustainable. The reason it was chosen was orximity, 65, 71, and 275. It will be there just as Washington Courthouse has stayed. But it has nothing to do with Monroe.

| randy- the jobs offered at these shops pay poorly and are geared for young people who aren't even thinking about benefits yet. They are young and "invincible" as we all were at one time. The jobs offered may be enough to sustain a $350 / month apartment somewhere while affording a tankful of gas and a bag of groceries until the next paycheck. That may be fine for a young person who has limited responsibilities but it just doesn't cut it for the millions of unemployed middle age/ older workers out looking for a job now. Retail is a pathetic choice for a decent lifestyle and that's all that is being offered here. Nothing to get excited about on the job market front. JMO |

Parking is now widely available. The mall is actually slow. I hope we don't end up with another dead mall. Heck, even the cell signal is bad at the mall. ------------- http://www.johnbeagle.com/" rel="nofollow - John Beagle Middletown USA News of, for and by the people of Middletown, Ohio. |
