Vietvet I totally agree. We can cry into our empty soup bowl or do something about it. I agree that at every level this town needs to reinvent itself and throw out the old.

Irisner I agree with what you say. My whole contention is that Middletown needs an infusion of cash NOW. Not 5-10 years from now, not 15 years from now when the country comes back to where it was, but now.
As far as gambling goes I can take it or leave it. I have lived 5 minutes from casinos and never set foot in them the whole time I lived there. But they are a source of cash for a city in Middletowns situation and would draw people from a large surrounding area, is it going to happen probably not here but they will be in Cincy and surrounding areas before to long.
Lotterys just about every state that voted in a lottery let the state governemnt pull the wool over their eyes with the promise of it going to education. It did but the state then reduced the Education funds and then added in the lottery funds in many if not all cases.
Our only difference is that I am talking creating Revenues now and yours is a more long term strategy which I don't think Middletown can survive the wait.

From the MJ:
"Sears Holding does not release store sales data, Freely said the closing has more to do with the company not reaching an agreement with the landlord during negotiations and she did not know the specifics on the store’s performance. The store, located at 4601 Roosevelt Blvd., is owned by Daniel G. Kamin and Middletown Eastgate Llc, according to the Butler County Auditor Office’s Web site. The closing is not part of a larger initiative by Sears Holding to consolidate stores, and is one of a handful of other locations that will be shuttered this year after company evaluations, Freely said." |

City managers report:
K‐Mart Closing
Unfortunately, Kmart will be closing their store in Middletown in November. We have already been in contact with the appropriate parties and will visit with the remaining shops in the center to ensure their continued viability in the retail center. As unfortunate as store closings are, this is a good opportunity to examine reuse of an underutilized retail space. Kmart provides about $14,000 per year in income tax revenues. |

John Ridge (aka Mr Dr Jennifer Ridge) owns the building and according to what I hear is cleaning it out and selling the fixtures in hopes of a new Venture soon. |

Kmart will close its Middletown store in November, eliminating 61 jobs.The retailer said in a filing with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services that it will shutter the location, on Roosevelt Boulevard, around Nov. 15. The store’s pharmacy, which employs seven, will close earlier.
