Middletown got its name because it was half way between Saratoga in Napa County and Lower Lake in Lake County. The name still applies. Before the 2008 presidential election not a single Obama sign was visible from either of the main highways, 29 or 175. McCain posters were many. Yet, Middletown is one of the hotspots in Northern California for the New Age. Take, for example, Awaken and the Baptist Church adjacent to it. Both use water. Both seek access to the soul. But oh how different the technique. The first cleanses your colon. The second dunks you head-to-toe. A town that was in the middle of a map now is in the middle of a choice.
