   Hillbillies usually like casinos.  How would you guys feel about bringing a casino to Middletown?  That's the only thing I would put in place of the Towne Mall, again, the most underrated mall in the United States.

	groupie- What????? Hillbillies usually like casinos??? Most people that frequent casinos usually have money to spend. The sterotypical hillbilly has no money, right? What's the connection if true? Yeah, I'd like a casino to locate in Middletown. Would certainly stimulate money flow. Would create jobs and would attract residual restaurants and other attractions aka- Lawrenceburg- Argosy. The downtown would light up like a Christmas tree with development if you stuck a casino there. Would draw people from all over if they knew they had a chance to win some money while enjoying themselves. Would certainly stimulate more growth and jobs than this arts nonsense and this Pendleton artists concept. That idea will do little to nothing for the downtown nor the town in general and will benefit a limited amount of people. JMO The Towne Mall- a shadow of it's former self in the 70's/80's. Never marketed correctly, never had any chance of success when considering Tri-County or the Dayton Mall as to shopping choices. A small town operation for a small town mindset.

	Hey town mall groupie... We should start a forum for positive support and encouragement and fight the good fight against the constant Middletown lamenting. However, I do get a laugh from them on my breaks from economic studies. What you think.....?

	Hey Sal- your first post said you had better things to do with your time than to post on this site. Why are you back? Thought you didn't like us "older than 40" people? Afraid you might learn something here, youngun'?

	Sal, that would be one lonely forum, seeing how not much positive is happening in this town. You and groupie could chat back and forth about what a great town this is and how the mall is such a great shopping place. Talk about coming to visit for a good laugh.

	Mr. Laubach, Mr. Smith, Ms. Scott-Jones.......just out of curiousity, and off the record, how did you view what took place with the Pendleton approval? Do you still think it is the right move to make and why? What do you think your response will be if it fails in a few years or if Verdin backs out for some reason? How will council explain the rehab cost while sitting on another empty building, should that happen? Thank you in advance for any and all responses if you choose to do so.

	Don't listen to these bozos JL...do what you think is best for the city. I for one like the PAC idea...beats doing nothing and then sitting around bitching about it like some others.

	So gemini agrees with himself? lol Hey smart guy--no one really opposed the project. Actually most see it as a plus. However--many ? taxpayer funding and a prime property giveaway to a multi-millionare from out of town. I guess that the supporters expect to rub elbows at Indian Hill art gatherings now? Mr.Verdin is the only positive in this project. The local art community is still clueless and hasn't been able to create any business growth and can barely support themselves without taxpayer handouts. just a bozo here

	gotta love the ridiculous throw-away comments of PAC deal supporters "oh well, gotta try something". I would agree if we were simply swinging a reasonable deal to allow PAC to operate there. Maybe giving the building away in exchange for certain guarantees on hiring, payroll tax, etc. But to support the actual deal as if it is not a desperate giveaway of precious few city resources is being dishonest at best.
