According to the Planning Committee article in the Journal, it looks like Dan Bremer is going to have the Middletown Animal Clinic building torn down and will build a new one. It's at the corner of Grand and Highview and has been there since I was a kid. Old Doc Bremer ran it while Dan and I were going to Highview Elementary in the 50's. This business, along with Armbruster Florists next door are Middletown icons. At the rate the current city leaders are demolishing buildings, might not be a bad idea to get a collection of the various icons around town like the Jug on Central, the old Anchor downtown, the old Colonial Theatre (Sorg Opera House now), the Strand (Studio now), the old Sons Bar and Grill at the point at Central and 1st Ave., the old Montgomery Ward building on University, the old Rinks Bargain City building on Roosevelt by the license bureau, Divers Feed and Coal, Dennys Lumber and others just to salvage the memories from a better time for this town. Just a thought.

Thanks for the info. Observer. I didn't know Dan had sold the business his dad started. What ever happened to Dave and Don(?) Bremer? Back in the 50's we use to play football in that lot behind the vet clinic after school at Wilson Elementary. At the time, I lived just down the road on Grand where Dorset and Grand intersect. Short walk home for me from the clinic. Do you remember Boehnies Greenhouses where the housing is now on Dorset?

Vet.  I believe (not certain) that the other brothers moved to the Columbus area.  Don I believe is a doctor not sure about Dave.  I don't remember Boehnies Greenhouses, I imagine I'm a bit to young to remember them.
