On July 18, 1825 work began on the Miami Canal in Middletown. The Miami and Erie Canal was a canal that connected the Ohio River in Cincinnati, Ohio with Lake Erie in Toledo, Ohio.
This photo is part of a tribute to in the canal and its influence on the past successes of Middletown, Ohio.
2007 has been a rebuilding year for Middletown city and schools. With a new mayor, new city manager and new members on city council and Middletown School Boards, lets look to 2008 to be a successful year in the city’ history.
When I moved from Illinois to Ohio, my new friend, Thom Johnson, talked me into buying Dan Fogelberg’s second album, Captured Angel. It was 1975, I was 17 years old, in a new high school, and I just made two new friends, Thom and Dan.
red Angel, then Souvenirs, and finally, Netherlands. His later works were fine, its just that his first 4 albums were the ones I loved the most.
Dan was sentimental. His music reflected his sentimentality. Dan’s second album, Souvenirs, played our sentimental hearts.
The song, Netherlands, has new meaning to me today. “One road was simple, acceptance of life, the other road offered sweet peace.”
