Middletown and Me

I'm a naturally curious person, which is why I'm in trouble half of the time.  I can't help myself, because I still have that innate question bubbling inside of me, "WHY?"  I want answers. 

In preparation for Igniting Inquiry, I was very curious about the surroundings of Middletown, CT itself.  Denise Kraft has assured me several times that it's quite adorable, but I wanted to see it for myself 

First of all, look at this Hallmark movie setting of a downtown district.  I so can see a Christmas tree lighting happening at the end of the street and local citizens gathering to solve a major obstacle to the town's annual festivities.  

Then, I wanted to see the relative location of the city to anything else.  I didn't realize that a river ran through it, which makes it more interesting in my eyes.  I love being near any body of water. 

I adore New England towns, because they have a quaint atmosphere.  I can't wait to explore every nook and cranny of this community and NYC.  Who will join me?
