The property where Calico stands is going to undergo major construction, and no plans have yet been made to save him. Created by the same artist who also created Tillie, the famous creepy grinning face in Asbury Park, Leslie Worth Thomas, of the Road Ad Sign Company, he is an icon of not only Middletown, but all of New Jersey, and deserves to be preserved! The land will soon be developed into condos, affordable housing, and an upscale mall, and the developers shrug when asked what will happen to him. Let's band together! We need your support! Share the petition, get friends to sign, and we will have a voice in what happens to our favorite reason for all those evil clown dreams as kids.

The developers are finally starting to sweat now that this pressure is mounting. They think they can just bulldoze our history for another ugly mall, but this momentum proves they are wrong.

Sign should be considered an historic landmark. Please consider replacing same when construction complete.
this famous landmark should defineately be preserved ! NJDEP Historic Preservation should be contacted .
this is a landmark. We have a ton of cool places this can go. Let's get it spinning again!!
Why do we always have to put up new things ! The clown is part of the charm of nj
i remember the clown from being a child, and my last visit brought back a smile when I saw him again. Please keep him safe and honored!
Keep the clown!!

That clown has been there since I was a little kid and so looked forward to seeing it and still do! And in MANY peoples eyes it is a historical lank mark. You need to keep it in its home spot!
