  1. I wouldn't overestimate it, either. From my four years going to school in the area, I'd say Dayton is solidly Reds Country, but I think there is a pretty sizable split between Bengals fans and fans of the Browns and even Steelers and Colts. Also, one thing I find interesting, though probably irrelevant, is the amount of disdain that I see from Cincinnatians towards Dayton. I post on another message board, pertaining to high school sports in Ohio, and it's shocking just how much vitriol the Cincinnati posters there lob towards Dayton. Not shocking for us living in Dayton. Cincinnatians never cared for Dayton; Dayton doesn't know what to think about Cincinnati aside from Tri-County Mall. Also, the Bengals still rule Dayton though I'd argue the Browns and Steelers get a sizable split here. Colts, no so much. ColDay, you nailed it. Although many Daytonians like Kenwood, as well.....

    Great article here. Shows that we really ARE a desirable place to live ;) (take that, Bill-O!!!!!) (sometime, I should really shoot the jerk an E-Mail.....) ____________________________________________ http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/dayton-news/ncr-employees-find-jobs-without-moving-to-atlanta-566825.html NCR employees find jobs without moving to Atlanta Alex Lashchuk turned down an offer to continue his employment with NCR in Atlanta and opted to take a job with a Vandalia company. Deciding to stay in the area also allows Lashchuk and his wife, Rita, and son David, 1, who all live in Troy, to be closer to their extended family. By Jim DeBrosse, Staff Writer Updated 9:47 AM Thursday, February 25, 2010 Alex Lashchuk, an NCR employee of five years, said he wasnt about to go to a strange city with no family there when NCR announced it was moving to the Atlanta area in June. Lashchuk, 32, found a comparable job with Waibel Energy Systems of Vandalia, where hes now a lead software developer. You can make a bigger difference and get ahead a lot more quickly in a small company, and thats a win-win situation for both. NCR wont disclose how many of its 1,200 employees in Dayton were offered positions in Atlanta or how many accepted. But local business leaders say theyve heard from NCR insiders that far fewer are choosing to stay with NCR than the firm had hoped.

    I have my avatar because of the fact that FOX news and other groups like it have caused 95% of our nation's current problems by not properly exposing idiots like George W. Bush. AND the group as a whole is racist haters. How on earth do people still support these idiots by viewing their channel?
  4. Still, that's an HOUR commute. That's in good traffic assuming 75 construction doesn't cause problems...... For a single guy, you couldn't ask for much better than the OD or South park. Good Luck!!!!!
  5. Yeah, I need to take a picture of the front of my house sometime. It's what happens when you don't have a gutter!!!!
  6. ^He's willing to go as far as CINCINNATI :? Then forget Huber. Look into the Dayton city 'hoods ColDayMan mentioned. They are far superior to Huber-tucky, especially for a young single guy. :)
  7. It's about time ALL types of travel are considered in Dayton street planning :)
  8. Cool. I'll assume he's working for Trimble? Great company. Anyways, I'd start with trying Huber Home Rentals in the city of Huber Heights. Yes, you're going to be casting him into a typical sub-di-burb, but it is cheap, low to no maitenence, safe, and many other young'uns get their start in this 'burb. Huber Heights, if you were not aware, was a planned community built by Charles H. Huber, developer extraordinaire. He built a large amount of other communities in the Dayton area in places like Kettering, Trotwood, Englewood, West Carrolton, etc., and communities in other cities like a sizable one that comprises almost all of south Westerville along the beltway. The city itself is his largest community, consisting of roughly 40,000 residents, and is named for him. Huber Heights is also considered America's largest community of All-Brick homes and America's largest single plat...... Huber Home rentals is an offshoot of the development company, and manages most rental properties in the city. North of 70 is newer housing built by the company in the 1980's-1990's, divided into two developments called the Gates and the Deers, due to street names in the communities (this really sucks when you are trying to find your girlfriend's house in the community, and every street twists and turns around nonsensically with virtually all the same names. It can be a living hell). South of 70 is the original development, stretching all the way to Dayton city limits. Two exits close by at 201 and 202 offer almost everything imaginable in the way of mass-market chain hell, and any chain restraunt you could possibly want is at Miller Lane, three miles east at 70/75. So, here's info for Huber Rentals. They are a large company, and appear to be reputable and good to rent from what I've heard. http://www.bbb.org/cincinnati/business-reviews/property-management/huber-home-rentals-in-cincinnati-oh-1156661/

    You people with time for vacations...... I guess y'all didn't get the memo that us Ohioand are only supposed to go to Florida's gulf shore for vacation ;)
  10. Exactly why there needs to be a Middletown Station ;) Seriously though, what do you think us Northsiders like myself are supposed to do? Go to Springfield? Forget that......
  11. Tru dat ;) Although Drexel out in Dayton-ish area (Jeff. Twp/Trotwood off US 35) does give me the creeps.....
  12. Anyone think we can drag Grand Rapids into the Buckeye State? It would look great where Sandusky is now ;)
  13. Beuatiful city and shots - thanks for posting :)
  14. I'd live there :) ;)
  15. I actaully like the 40 W. Fourth building after the facadde re-do. It was horrendous before, but now is a nice compliment to the rest of the skyline and fits in well.
