new to town

 

Until the city tackles the issues and problems, which it first must admit exist, then being the friendliest place on earth  isn't going to be enough to ensure Middletown's survival.

 

As the Middletown Journal stated yesterday, "Critics of City Hall have enough ammunition without giving them a gift-wrapped grievance like this."

 I also came to Middletown; however, it was almost 25 years ago and I Still LOVE MIDDLETOWN. I was told that True Middletonians will watch you to see if you really are, who you say you are. That I should be myself and that they will come around. A funny story of knowing I was accepted: I worked @ McAlpin's and use to collect Precious Moments ( at the time McAlpin's had a China Department ~ I went to the department and said " Hello, I'm Marlayne Skeens. I transfered here from Cherry Grove McAlpin's in Clermont Co and I collect Precious Moments " I said that with a Big Smile and very proud ~ that lady and I do mean lady, said nothing; however, in time she called me to tell me new Precious Moments came in ~ That was when I knew Middletown had accepted me. Welcome ~ there is a lot to be Thankful for in Middletown ~ Yes we have our problems, etc ~ so does every town ~ I believe that Middletown is a Diamond in the rough ~ Middeltown from what I have been told was very productive in the past and has been going through some rough times ~ as in many cities, companies, etc ~ There are highs and lows ~ Some may say we're down, I say, we're not out! I Love Middletown
