More Mixville Input
June 15th, 2009 by CindyWell, this is the last post by me on the Mixville Park issue-I think Mixville is nice-In a few minutes I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU WHAT A “DUMP” looks like AND IT IS NOT MIXVILLE!
When you look at the photos I am going to show you of another park-and I HAVE SHOWN THIS BEFORE-you will see Mixville in a different light-if many people in Cheshire do not appreciate this park-THAT IS SAD!!
It’s funny, when I went to the park this past Sunday-I did not see any GEESE!!
Amazing!! I know why the geese were not there-they got scared off by loud peopl e like me who know how to have a good time!! YEP, my loud mouth coupled with several of my friends who tell me they have been going to Mixville from BRIDGEPORT-HAVE SCARED OFF ALL THE GEESE!!
Speaking of good time-I did go to the Strawberry Festival at the Congregational Church in Cheshire-it was nice-they had a great band playing the old Beatles song-I was really surprised at how vibrant people were-man, they were really getting into it-dancing, and what not. Boy, I was surprised the cops were not called to calm things down!!
I did film some of the action at the Strawberry Festival-it is under FEATURED VIDEO on the right hand side of the blog. It is in four parts-so I am running part one now and will run the rest of the videos this week.
Double click on the video to see a “special message.”
The video I have been running shows a Bristol resident who frequents the park, but I have news for you-PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE STATE HAVE BEEN GOING TO MIXVILLE-because it is NICE!!
If Cheshire residents will not use it-or use it sparingly because they would rather go to the pool, or get upset when they see people that don’t fit their bill-well, whom can we blame but ourselves!!
If this park was filled up with Cheshire residents every weekend, then there would be no room for anyone else. I am to blame also-I have not gone as much as I used to and I admit it.
As far as the fields go-it could be the inordinate amount of rain that is causing the flooding-but I remember well back into the 80′s, with those fields having a water retention problem.
The bottom line-the Town Government started giving up on Mixville and putting it down (practically discouraging its use) when the pool opened. Blaming geese is ridiculous-in fact, I happened upon an interesting video from 2008 where the Town of Cheshire is poo pooing Mixville because of the Geese.
Click here for video-P.S. the park looks nice in this video-what is wrong??
I have geese on my beach in New Hampshire-SO WHAT?? They even go and poop on the raft.
WHEN I WENT TO MIXVILLE IN THE 80′s and 90′s there were geese-BELIEVE ME-THE LOCAL PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT THEIR DOGS TO THE PARK AND ALLOWED THEM TO CRAP ALL OVER THE PLACE-MADE MIXVILLE UNDESIRABLE. IT IS FUNNY-NO ONE WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT OR CALLING THE PARK DIRTY THEN!!
AT LEAST LAST SUNDAY, I DID NOT HAVE TO STEP AROUND DOG CRAP!!
Now sadly-and this is beyond sad-what was once and still is-Connecticut’s ONLY NATURAL BEACH-not man made-has been left to rot-WHY?? BECAUSE PEOPLE DON’T CARE!! THE POWERS THAT BE ABANDONED IT-THE THREW IT TO THE WIND-
LOOK AT THESE PHOTOS-AND THEN LOOK AT MIXVILLE:
