Mike - I think I seen you but wasn't sure as I was talking to a lady about art and was so engrossed by the conversation I couldn't break away.
I was there for about 15 minutes and I had to leave,I hate being ignored by people who think they are of a higher stature than myself. I seriously doubt there were 200 or more there,if they were it was before I got there. But like Mike said the guest registery would or could verify that.
Vet - I've never met you in person so if you walked right by me last night I apologize,but then again you wouldn't know me. (I was the guy swigging from a bottle of wine in a brown paper bag)

OK- story in today's Journal about the Kingswell School being developed on Central Ave. The story states that Kingswell will spend $350,000 to refurbish the building for use.
Question..... what is the difference between this Kingswell school setting up downtown and using their own money to do so and the Pendleton Arts Center setting up downtown and using taxpayer money to do it? Why did the city decide to help the Arts Center gain financial access for a startup and not this school? Helping their buddies in the arts and no connection with the new school?
Wonder why Kingswell didn't go to the city for a sweet deal like Verdin got?
Just an observation.

What A City
How do we know that the City has not already agreed to give them a “LOAN” from the Downtown Fund for this project? Just because it hasn’t been brought before council doesn’t mean that this isn’t the plan at a later date. Please remember that they just passed the "Main Street Plan" at the last council meeting. |

You are correct. We don't know Vivian. Just going by the Journal's story that stated that Kingswell will use their own money to the tune of $350,000 to rehab the building. Do you mean to tell me that the city would loan this school some of our tax money and not tell us? ......and....the Journal would not report it?

Right. Kingswell received conditional use by Planning Commission at Wednesday’s meeting. Lewis Consolidated owns the building, as well as the Sebald building next door, and the two historic buildings across the street (Worthmore/City Hotel and Joy Shop). Lewis Consolidated’s application for Certificate of Appropriateness for the addition and renovation received approval at the August 26, 2010 meeting of the Council on Landmarks and Historic Districts: COUNCIL ON LANDMARKS AND HISTORIC DISTRICTS August 26, 2010 CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS UCC URBAN CORE CENTRAL DISTRICT ADDITION AND RENOVATION – 1124 CENTRAL AVE. Mr. Kohler introduced the application by Lewis Consolidated for a building addition at the rear of 1124 Central Ave. as part of a construction project to convert the former retail and office building into a ground level restaurant and upper level theological seminary. This building is also known as the Castell Building. The construction involves filling the interior courtyard into building space and a small vestibule addition. The style of brick and windows proposed will match the style of the existing façade. While the rear of the building was constructed next to another building and was not visible from the street. Now that the building is visible from the public parking lot and transit station, the addition will give a more finished appearance to the back of the building. The proposed improvements are generally consistent with the urban design guidelines. A motion was made by Mr. Hayes, seconded by Mr. Sauer to approve the application as presented. The approval was unanimous. The windows in the Castell building have been replaced. If memory serves me correctly, I do believe Lewis Consolidated received a façade improvement grant from the city a while back to help with the replacement. But I’m not 100% sure. If so, it is no where near what Pendleton received. |

This shows the hypocrisy of this Historic commission!!!
NONE of these so-called "historic" buildings are/have been "restored" to what they actually, truly used to look like. They are being modified to what someone has DREAMED that they WISHED downtown Middletown used to look like!!!
The Historic Commission is violating their OWN law!!
Off to prison with them!!!

There are a couple differences here. The building Pendleton will occupy is owned by the City of Middletown. They are investing in their own property and putting it into productive use, despite a private entity taking it over.
Additionally, Pendelton is a downtown revitalization strategy. Kingswell will likely be a good addition to downtown, but it isn't likely to attract the same type of attention or spin off that Pendelton will, even if you don't believe that Pendelton will be overly successful.

It was the extra large over-the-sofa size, original by a noted Tiajuana
artist, too!!! It added a wonderful touch back in the days when I used
to keep a craps table in my living room.

guys, I'll have to discuss the matter with my social
secretary to see if my schedule is open. I might have a previous
engagement at the doggie park in West Chester.

It was posted on here somewhere earlier that Angelababy is just a spammer advertising a website through her signature line. She is not really interested in any of these topics as your post above proves. As was stated a couple of days ago she pops up and makes nonsensical posts about topics sometimes months old. It is probably a computer program doing the work for him or her.

Wasteful:
You are exactly right!!!
Angelbaby stole part of my post to promote her ART mall website, and it appears that the rest of that very same post may have inspired the "use junk from Cohen Bros. as artsy siding" idea!!!
I'm glad to see that I've become an "inspiration" to people!!! Usually, I just serve as a BAD EXAMPLE!!!
