The thing that is BULLSHEET, is the fact that Orem City bonded for and paid for one level of the parking structure.

That is a total waste of tax payer dollars.

If a private development can't make it on it's own, then DON'T build it.

There were already signs of problems after sitting for a few years, and the fiasco @ Parkway Crossing.

Get real

I went to that website Pitt listed. Reading the site, you would think Midtown is located on a beach (look under amenities), but because I know where Midtown really is, this is very misleading. Maybe that could be a problem for potential buyers. . .this is certainly not beachfront property.

Blog801. . .You obviously know Mr. Myler, or at least give that impression. No ill-will was wished on Mr. Myler. But really now, your "enthusiasm" should be redirected to help Mr. Myler's cause.

It is in everyone's best interest locally to see this project successfully complete. Common sense should have us all pulling for it.

If common sense was a factor behind the development, it never would have been built.

Your exhortion to respect the courage and risk of one mans dream is irrelevant when that dream, founded on a bad idea, threatens a local economy.

Now, as far as human compassion, where is yours for the people who used to live in the trailer park?
BTW, I grew up in 2 different trailer parks, and trust me, we would have LOVED to have had a Midtown Village condo instead.

Cheers!

Um... Isn't there a slight disparity between the cost of one and the other. These units start at 329,000. You can buy half a trailer park for that. I don't suppose any of the displaced people are now living in the new structure, they are living in low income housing someplace else.

Pittakos, obviously I don't know much about you. A quick search reveals you try very hard to be clever and funny. For example, who can deny the hilarity of the Italian ethnic slur joke, and the brilliance of the Adam and Eve clothing insight?

Mostly though, it is obvious that you spend SERIOUS time idling about in these forums. That's cool, the Internet can be excellent for providing people with a sense of community and belonging. But that does mean you are going to have the last word in this discussion, because I don't spend that much time here.

I just paused to read this article on Midtown Village, noticed your satire, and lampooned it with one of my own. Obviously that doesn't sit well with you and you have been fluttering about it ever since.

But given your track record of juvenile and crass postings, it is a stretch to believe you wrote your satire as some kind of noble effort to look out for the best interests of potential resort guests. We all know that is nonsense.

Face it: you just like making fun of stuff!

Today it was Midtown Village, gas stations, pennies, nude hikers, "teeny boppers" and your daughter's desire to see David Archuleta. Tomorrow it will be something different, and tomorrow, if someone else challenges you, you'll attack and make fun of him as you did me today. It's who you are.

But tomorrow, as you are loafing about chatting with strangers in relative anonymity, think about how thrilled your daughter WOULD have been if you would have got up and faced the (yuck!) 20,000 screaming teeny boppers, and made a memory with her that she will probably never forget.

I bet that is what guys like Larry Myler would do: get up and make things happen!

Speaking of getting up and making something happen, I gotta go or my wife will be disappointed in what I got done today. I already am.
