Downtown was actully busy

My wife and I had dinner at the Liberty restaurant last night. And when we left we were shocked at how busy is was for a Friday Night in Downtown Middletown. I have never seen so many people over the age of 50 packing the Stained Bistro and the Pendleton Art Center. I swear there were more people with gray hair walking around downtown Middletown, we thought we entered a retirement community. 

Queen Judith always gets what she wants. It is amazing how the town has changed since she and her court jesters have taken over. They always answer "yes my queen, you are the fairest of them all'

Kt,
   Your post is insulting  to us over 50. Many of us have been fighting for the people of Middletown long before you even got involved and know more about what is going on and the corruption than you do. We are still waiting to see what the contribution of your generation is going to be. We have tried to recruit your generation to help for years and even now the apathy is pathetic. You are offensive.

Queen Judith's reign is just about over. She is alienating more and more people in the city building with her bizarre behavior. She and Doug are even on the outs right now because she's afraid he is coming after her job. Hopefully council will see that's a mistake after the HUD situation with Doug not telling them the whole truth.He says his orders come from her and s he's trying to distance her self from him. Blaming each other.

But what I was getting at is if you keep electing the same older generation of people to office you will never get any new ideas in office to change things. It is time to get some new blood on the city council.

ktf, nothing would please alot of us more than to see the young population of this city become more involved. Unfortunately, in the past, when we have had community meetings, no one showed up representing the 30-40 something generation. Just the same 10 or so each time- older long timers. Apparently, the young folks are not interested in the way the town is being run enough to break away from their position on the couch each evening watching the tube. We need more of the Josh Laubach generation to be involved WITH THE CORRECT FOCUS, not the same old nonsense we're receiving now. Won't do any good to have younger versions of the older ones in place now.

I remember those from my generation, in the 60's, saying "don't trust anyone over 30" when I was in my teens. What you said didn't shock. A form of younger wanting to purge the older has repeated itself over time. Personally, I don't care what the age.....just change what isn't working now in this city.......and that's just about any topic we could discuss. All I know is that this city is WAYYYYY overdue for a purge of current leadership.

Off with her head!
