I've been asked to put together a photo collage of Middletown. I live in Cinci and was hoping to spend a few weekends up in Middletown wandering around with a camera. Do you guys have any suggestions for local architectural and community interests? I'm looking mostly for local landmarks, neat signs, iconic buildings, etc. Thanks all.

Central and Broad Streets downtown would be a good place to start.

Prithee, take an image of my abode, as I yearn to list it upon that venerable roll of Historic dwellings, and therefore garner contributions from the tax collector to refurbish it.
