It's amazing that "Huber" city hall doesn't want to claim this area. You call zoning violations into them and they are like "Where?". Yeah. Google maps aren't their strong suit (or they are too busy screwing around playing Pac Man on them :P )

Trying to picture a KFC down here, maybe that's what the Chinese place is now?

Too much to cover from the past few months, but long story short. The music center is ALMOST complete, the Goodsports center may never happen. GS has had legal issues in other cities, so this project is suspended for the time being. 22 Million dollars, so we're way over budget for the "Heights". I think the voters will fix these issues at the ballot box in November 2015 when council members are up for re-election. 'Nuff said

Holy Sh!t!!! Of the top 100 cities in the country, Cincinnati's the 3rd safest and Dayton's the 2nd!?! Front page news! Did the mayors pay for that?

There was a total of 2 murders. Both suspects found not guilty on the murders, but one of them is doing a few years on a gun specification(wasn't allowed to own one). Not sure where "all the murders" were, but they weren't in Huber.

Really,anything south of Chambersburg might be included in this "dump" thread

Large fight on Wayne Meadows late Friday night. They had everything on the ground out here for it too. I just hope there was nothing else going on in Huber Heights at the time.

Call the city and report them as abandoned vehicles that need towed! :yap:

Actually, Glenburn Green is the true "section 8" property. It is a smaller version of "Desoto Bass" :yap:

Go read the "25 most dangerous cities" thread on Topix. It's a wonder that somebody hasn't sued them yet. If it isn't personal libel, some "inside information" getting out etc. Yikes.

Sorry, just looking through this thread with today's update (Great news on the News-Sun building!) and saw this above. Some reasons why Austin Blvd. have been a failure so far are 1. It's very retail-heavy. It was supposed to be nearly 100% commercial and entertainment, now as far as land area goes it is about 40% retail 2. Few NEW jobs created. Most were just poached from somewhere else in the Miami valley. 3. Development is not progressing as quickly as expected (the benchmark in this case is Union Centre) 4. The entertainment aspect is gone (not that I'm complaining - Dayton has too many suburban entertainment venues already) 5. The exit is more of a local draw rather than a regional (Cin-Day) draw. Again the benchmark here is Union Centre. Well, obviously, the Dayton Mall is staying put. That big investment in the outdoor mall proves they will fight the good fight and probably still be there another 50 years. I still think, somewhere down the line, there will be a mall for Springboro. Maybe something like the Greene. I just don't see people wanting to travel all the time, and the population explosion there would certainly warrant one.

Yeah, I noticed his name, and thought I hit the wrong button, since I have both forums on the bookmark bar. LOL

Meth lab, back on Waynedale(where many of those pictures were taken) http://www.abc22now.com/shared/news/top-stories/stories/wkef_vid_18504.shtml

Given the active winter we've had, maybe a good idea?
