Central Ave. Demo

Thank you again!

Seems to me the demolishing is only for the north side of the street, why isn't anything being torn down on the south side of Central ?

 

When the excavator is finished with this site, it is scheduled to be delivered to at least two sites on South Main St., then on to residential homes located on Antrim Ct.. Longford Dr., and Wicklow Lane.    on our Magical Mystery Tour of Leveling the City! As the words to the 1968 Beatles's Magical Mystery Tour song say......it's hoping/waiting/ its dying to take you away....take you today.


The last two pictures are literally breath-taking Ms. Gilleland! A nice "open range" feel to it as one drives down Central. Very impressive! Mike....get the Dylan records out now and go to the Desolation Row track. It's time to celebrate our liberation from the "old" Middletown! Heck....soon, us older residents won't even recognize our own home town as we knock down everything in sight!   

Viet Vet & Pacman -

Thanks for grabbing all those photos, 409. I have not been able to watch any of the demolition and always find such activity fascinating (even though I do not like demolition).

NRS- OK- a little sarcastic fun here. New HUD park? How about a new Central Ave. doggie park perhaps? Would bring people back downtown again. Large area.... would save Sunset Pool for future use should things get "brighter" here in town....envision landscaped walkways winding around this area with trees, bushes and mulch (all from Armbruster Florist, of course!) Benches strategically placed for doggie owners to sit and chat about their pooches. Envision a shed renting pooper scoopers and a Midd. police officer just a waitin' to fine some poor unsuspecting doggie owner for not cleaning up. Revenue for the city, Ms. Gilleland? How about that water feature at the entrance, advertising this mega attraction? (Perhaps a sign asking users not to ask questions as no one is prepared at this time to answer them, signed by the mayor) Could tie in the Farmers Market, Midfest, Bluesfest, Arts In Middletown, the Broad St. Bash, the AK Pavillion (whoops, nothing ever happens there except some "brick readin', mosquito slappin' and some joggin') and other events all linked to the horsedrawn transportation that would carry the multitude of people to and from the high speed rail station on Charles St. Yes sir, I can see it all coming together for our city leaders for the revitalization of downtown. Hey, forget those jobs leaving Robinette. We'll get some more jobs in town......someday. We got us a dyn O mite idea here to roll with instead.

Well, this does allow more light into the area.
