A Middletown Eye?

This EYE reporter was lucky enough to crash her husband's business trip to London, and today's sightseeing took us to the London Eye (the giant Ferris wheel with amazing views of London).




I jokingly said to my husband that Middletown needed an Eye (ha ha, it has one already), and he looked at me strangely and asked what there was to see.

Good question.  Obviously Middletown is no London, but there is a certain attraction to Ferris wheels no matter where you are.  Maybe we should consider such a thing as part of the riverfront development?

Or maybe this town isn't big enough for two Eyes...

    The new lighting on the "To the River'" tunnel structure is Eye Catching.

    It will be interesting to see if the fancy new entrance and lighting will do anything to remove the "world's longest urinal" designation. How much did this cost, by the way.

    Much of the excitement of aerial views is the simple change in perspective. The rooftop views at the Community Health Center are only from four stories up, but the North End, including St. John's steeple and the Arrigoni Bridge, look amazing. Watching a summer storm roll through town from that height is thrilling. The fact that our harbor isn't crowded with skyscrapers means we have wonderful, unobstructed views of the trap rock ridges to the west and the Glastonbury hills to the east.
