It has taken a while to weed out the losers. I guess you are one of our success stories.

Go to Mallory's. Nice bar, great people. And to you "grainofsalt", it isn't your fault that you are associated with Longbranch. Best of luck to you and your patrons.

You got what you wished for in the end. Was it worth it? The good people left BECAUSE of YOU

It was worth every minute of it and I don't miss any of you. You were all leaches looking for a freebie. When that ended you were gone, good riddance! The Longbranch is just fine, thank you.I think I heard from one of my customers that there are 47 bars in Middletown, hope you and your kind patronize the other 46.

You still have the "leaches looking for freebies" at Longbranch. Borrowing money, free drinks. But hey, like you said there are other bars. Good luck to you and the business

Do you remember jimmy Bush? He was in a wheel c. I remember when JB and Benny got in fight at old hilltop. Jimmy told JB throw me one,he then pistol whipped with 38 he always carried under the blanket. I haven't seen JB in about 5yrs. The last time I seen him he was carring a bible. Thats a hell of a change from what he use too be. Benny and Jimmy passed away I think. I grew up on Crawford st. right behind Rosco Ronto's Sohio station. Do remember Burger Basket, a little greezy spoon resterant? JB's mom use to work there. Sam

I didn't know Terry Bush. I remember Eddy Bush, he sold veggies on Yankee rd. I use to play cards at Loyd Burkhart's place in West Middletown,Eddy was one of the biggest fish you every seen. You said you played pool at Mutt's on crawford, you had to know Tim Boffman (big t) he shot pool there all the time. I knew all the Pieratt's Scott,Jim,Tommy.I knew Kenny Gibbs (ky) use to run with him some.Knew his dad Felix,Elmer,Doc. Scott was with Benny when he dropped the hat on me, he kept telling me don't do it.Benny told me to deal so I though I was the hustler untill big Ben said let me whackem one time. Big mistake.... rollingagile
