If not a Pendleton Arts Center, then what?

By Eric Robinette | Monday, August 9, 2010, 09:27 AM

My story about the Pendleton Arts Center last week got quite the wash of comments. A lot of people seem to think this isn’t the best idea for Middletown, which is more into blue-collar entertainment like NASCAR, etc. And that IS a valid point.

However, let me play devil’s advocate here. I wouldn’t have expected Over the Rhine to be a big arts neighborhood, but from what I saw when I visited there, they do quite well. Granted, they have eight floors to use, and Middletown wouldn’t have that many, but nevertheless, a good crowd is there in a neighborhood that’s not exactly populated by what you might call the wine and cheese set.

So if a Pendelton Arts Center isn’t the answer, what is? Anybody got any better ideas?
