Realizing that this takes in a very large area......is it improving in Middletown?  I have my doubts and think Middletown will lag seriously behind the surrounding cities and area by years in any recovery, if at all.  What do you think?

Not in Middletown.  I have also not talked to anyone that doesn't agree that Middletown is going to lag far behind the rest of SW Ohio and Butler County when any recovery comes, just a fact of the way city leadership has taken the City in the last 5 years is going to cause a huge lag for most of the city.  Poverty reins supreme in Middletown, hence businesses will avoid it for the most part.
