Pennsylvania should be like Transylvania and be home to more vampires.

The gov't is already fairly good at sucking the life out of the citizens...don't give them ideas, or competition.

Commonwealth means they feel your wealth is common with them.

Just don't try to figure out what items are sales taxable and what aren't. Your head will explode.

Welcome to the Keystone State, home of QVC Studio Park.

Pssst..it's gone.

It is? I admit I haven't actually visited in over a dozen years, but I've driven past it in the last month. The building was still there at least.

I got a proposal in the mail, from a developer that bought the entire complex. They had this whole concept of making it Middletown's "Main Street", with shopping, entertainment and condos. They were trying to sway the public before going to the township planning board.

Damn fools spent a fortune to lay out and mail all their brochures, when everybody knows the Middletown government doesn't give a damn about what the public wants. They'll do what's best for their political supporters, relatives and themselves.

Come to think of it, I may be wrong. The museum didn't show on the proposal, but it could be open, at least until the plans for the place start to jell.

So they're trying to screw up Middletown the same way they screwed up Exton?

wolf · 03-08-2007, 11:29 AM

They seem to be 7 miles away from where they are should be (they show an address in Aston), but The Franklin Mint is still in business. Fallen from the stunning glory of the Civil War Chess Set TV ad days, but in business.

I still regret not getting their version of Monopoly that I couldn't afford when I was in college.

I like Exton's main street, it's cute and has some good stores. I was just commenting yesterday though (as I watched them shovel the sidwalks on 100) that NO ONE walks to or around main street.

My 2nd ex-wife's, brother's ex-wife, was married to a guy that spent much of his time in SE Asia arranging to have things made for the mint. When they gave up all pretense it wasn't all made over there, and people discovered collectibles ain't, the mint packed it in around here. Why keep an expensive facility going. They also were in trouble with the Southwest Delaware County Municipal Authority for dumping too much silver in the sewer.

Unfortunately the Franklin Mint Museum has closed its doors. If any new information comes to light it will be posted here.
