There is no question that Schmidtville as a designated area is a new phenomenon, possibly related to Lyndon Watkins, who is a property owner there. I lived in Park Vic for most of the 1990s, was fairly active around that area, and can assure you that the term Schmidtville had never been heard by me during that time. I first heard it about 3 years ago when the neighborhood suddenly started making noise about how historic it was.
Like others, I have no problem with those 3 blocks being frozen in time. If that's what you want, fill your boots. Just don't try to dictate how the surrounding area gets developed.

First of all sorry Keith P.
Second, I am not trying to dictate how the area gets developed any more that any other interested party. Heritage trust wants one thing, the people who live in Schmidtville may or may not want something else, the folks who participate in this fourm may all have a different opinion on how the area gets developed. I thought this was a format for having that discussion.
Third, wether you or anyone else had not heard of the area as being referred to as Schmidtville until a few years ago does not change the fact that it has been referred to as Schmidtville since 1830.
