45 years ago tonight, the world lost a legend. On 45 years ago tonight, the world lost a legend. On December 8, 1980, John Lennon was tragically shot and killed in front of The Dakota, his home in NYC. A Beatles fan, disillusioned by Lennon’s fame and comments about being “more popular than Jesus,” planned the horrific act for months. That same evening, the fan even got Lennon’s autograph on his Double Fantasy album. Later, as John and Yoko Ono returned home, the fan fired five shots, four of which struck Lennon. Despite being rushed to the hospital, Lennon was pronounced dead at 11:15 p.m. Lennon was only 40 years-old. John’s music, activism, and legacy continue to inspire generations. Tonight, we remember his impact and mourn the loss of a voice that called for peace and love. 💔🎶
Two Middletown Favorites — Rejects Beer Co. and Di Two Middletown Favorites — Rejects Beer Co. and Diego’s Cantina — Hit the Market for $4.2M in Rare Development Offering Rejects Beer Co. and Diego’s Cantina, two well-known Middletown hotspots, are officially on the market. The combined $4.2 million listing includes both lots and buildings, offering a unique development opportunity in the heart of town. The businesses currently operate as tenants and may remain for a buyer interested in keeping them in place. However, if a new buyer has different plans, both businesses could close — a decision that depends entirely on the future owner’s vision for the properties. The offering packages two adjacent, fully operational commercial spaces totaling .57 acres: • Diego’s Cantina
A 5,500-square-foot, 166-seat Mexican restaurant overlooking Easton Pond. Long considered a Middletown staple, the turnkey space is equipped for dining, private events, and year-round operations with sought-after west-facing water views. • Rejects Beer Co.
A 3,600-square-foot brewery with flexible LBA-zoned space suited for food service, manufacturing, distribution, and other commercial uses. Together, the properties present multiple avenues for value creation — from maintaining two established businesses to pursuing hotel or mixed-use development in a prime location. The listing is represented by Michael Sweeney of Gustave White.
