Four Men of the Apocalypse are Good Citizens All

A recent reader comment on the Broad Street Bash article in the Middletown Journal attempted to demean the efforts of four honest, caring citizens who frequently post here on MiddletownUSA.  This blatantly dishonest characterization of four of Middletown's best has no validity.

They are people that you know and presumably respect.  Names were not mentioned in the reader comments.  And, no, they do not fight crime but advocate reasonable law and order as do I.

Jimmy Buffett would call it "CHEESEBURGERS IN PARADISE!"

Viet Vet and Mike Presta -

That's right drumford, to be more specific, some concerned citizens, trying to make a difference, were responsible for the band/food and Mr. Wendel is to be commended for the idea and the production portion of this event. This is a nice community event and more of these types of things are needed. Positive comments have been thrown Mr. Wendel's way for this event and we all recognize this is a good thing.

The issue:

The "apocalyptic" comment was in reference to the approach used on this forum. When we are fed, on a daily basis, "apocalyptic" news about the city, we tend to react in a like fashion. Don't you think it's rather "apocalyptic" what the city leaders are doing to this town? We are more "realist" in nature- not "rose-colored glasses" folks. The town is what it is despite all the flowers being planted, the Balloon glows, the concerts, the rusty gutters being painted, and, yes, even the Weds. Night Bash- all good, but all surface fluff while the city deteriorates from inside out. JMO
