Yes, MRE has traditional, more affordable apts that don't look as fancy as these, but they also own a large chunk of those gorgeous old Victorian buildings on State St and beyond. MRE has done more good for Media than most. They were established when Media was not in the boom it is now.

It did, and it will survive this change too. Media is an old town and constant change is unavoidable. Yes, the new traffic is going to suck and the new stop light is going to be extremely annoying.

It's a big part of the town's charm. But it's hard to see why you would feel this spot should remain unchanged. It is a bleak first view of Media when driving in to the town from Middletown.<br /><br />The townhouse look attractive with front porches that go along with the character of many of Media's older homes.

The borough let the bridge go in disrepair after the highway department partially compromised the structure by backing into the wall while dumping snow removed from the town (~1995). Remember? That's how the whole mess started.<br /><br />It was incompetence (pres.Joan Hagen) after that that led to it still not being fixed.
