If cheeper flights are what is desired the city needs to make itself atractive to a low cost carrier that will compete with Delta. As for expanding Lunkin you can bet that a few loud voices from the surrounding neighborhhod will manage to kill any expansion. It always amazes me when people move next to an airport and then bitch about the noise. I have not seen an Cincinnati sectional chart in a while but it is my guesse these new flight patsh are less than desireable for those who must navigate them. I flew into Lunkin about five years ago and unless you aproach from the East it is very difficult to remain outside the class A airspace surrounding CVG. Have you ever noticed that nobody ever complains about the noise/light/traffic from a new shopping center or such but aviation is always an automatic target. The media and the laser like focus on non existant safety issues is responsable. Of course the average citizens inability to form sound opinions on their own is equaly to blame......there I feel better now.

Havent been to Bill's yet...Every time it crosses my mind I a driving by on my way somewhere else.......Perhaps someday before they close.....I say that because I never see to many folks in there....and really how many tropical themed clubs come and go. What survives is usually the basics...beer, wings, pizza ect. And really thats ok.......

I wish someone had stood in the way of the new Super Wallmart up here in Dayton. It is pure evil. I make a point to shop at the smaller local stores, however its hard to stay away....You want Cap'nCrunch at 3am....walk across the street to wallmart. I wish they sold beer.....

Well lets see there is Wimpies....and White Tower....both of these used to be open late. I belive White Tower was once open 24hrs. One encouraging sign is the amount of small fast food store fronts downtown. I really do like Flying Pizza. The ruben pizza at Oregon Express is good too. In the summer I try to have lunch at Hearts Hot Dogs on the square at least once a week. The only place I have found in SW Ohio that makes a true Chicago style hotdog. Outside of downtown La Perogola on Dorothy Ln has good pizza. Jays in the Oregon still has that great salmon rolled in fila dough. The Riverscape in its first summer had a great italian sausage in a hollowed out hard roll. I belive the sausage came from East Dayton Sausage Company, which by the way if you ever get the chance stop in and fill your freezer. I wonder has anyone here tried "whos on First " since they moved down the street. They had wraps before it was fashionable to charge $9 for them at Applebees.....whoa look at this! I just did 500 words on food...hmmmm mabye I have a problem.....Im thin really I am.......

Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers is not open at 3am when I am craving coffee and eggs.....now that I think about it nobody should be eating those things at 3am........3am coffee and eggs are both usualy cold and hard.Hey mabye I have created a market here....a place open all night called Hard eggs and Cold Coffee.....?

Thanks.....yes I do have a digital.....yes I do have some photos....and yes I will post.....I moved here about 7 years ago. Never thought I would stay this long. Comming from Chicago....Dayton was a shock....although it does grow on you (possibly that is code for I have learned to live with Dayton). Dayton is unique....unfortunitaly Dayton has in the past not done a good job of retaining its history. They are getting better. I would be alot happier here with some sort of REAL public transprtation. The trollys are unique. I often use the bus system but becuase of weak ridership the routes and schedules often disapoint. I am waiting for that Dayton Cincy commuter train..........or light rail....unfortunitily it appears I will be waiting awhile. In the summer Dayton often reminds me of a small french town. Lots of festivals, good music, and plenty of places to ride your bike. Downtown is a fun place to live......needs some all night food besides Denneys.....Dayton for me is a love hate relationship. I love what its has but often wish it was more...........

First allow me to say hello to everyone....I have been lurking about Skyscrapers and now this site for some time....You are a very interesting group of folks...slightly unstable...a little deranged but basicly good eggs. Now on to business...Does anybody know the fate of the white and blue former Reynolds and Reynolds building snuggled against I75 Southbound near the US 35 interchange. More specificaly I wonder about the fate of the increasingly inacurate clock. My wife told me today (she might be wrong, she frequently is) the clock is being moved. This would be a shame. The building and clock so close to I75 is unique and adds a very urban feel to that stretch of I75. It reminds me of sections of the Kennedy Expressway in Chicago. It was on of the first things I noticed when I moved here 7 years ago. Once again greetings and thanks for entertaining me the past few months.
