I recently took a day trip to Dayton with my fiance and some friends and was pleasantly suprised! I decided to compile a list of reasons to visit Dayton... feel free to add on to it :) 1) 5/3rd Field (Home of the Dayton Dragons) 2) Electric powered busses 3) Main Street's nice urban architecture 4) Dayton Institute of Art 5) Gem City Records 6) Oregon District 7) Marion's Pizza 8) Air Force Museum 9) Super Subby's 10) Parks showcasing old canal locks 11) Mendelsohn's (sp) liquidation warehouse 12) Carillon historic park 13) Cox Arboretum 14) Woodland Park 15) University of Dayton 16) Riverscape/Saturday night fountain & laser light show 17) Neon Movies 18) Carillon bells 19) Grafton Hill neighborhood 20) Birthplace of ColDayMan

Yeah, I can't see Dayton having lost 34,000 people in 5 years. I mean, at that rate, the city will cease to exist in 25 years.

What are we doing wrong??? I mean, Ohio is not THAT bad a place to live. I think we need a change in leadership...

This fella is still standing too. My State Farm agent works on the first floor :)

We used to have a Kroger downtown! That tall building on the right hand side in the back is the Atlas building. She's still alive and lookin' beautiful :)

I take back anything nice I said about you ;)

^ Baseball? Soccer?

You're jewish as well? We have pretty good representation this forum :) Isn't that right ColDay?

It's called a park :roll: :wink:

Yay for jewish nabes! :) I can actually read some of what is written on that schoolbus. All those years of Hebrew School paying off.

lol, there was a bit in Family Guy where Adam West puts an empty toilet paper roll cardboard to his lips and impersonates Old Time Radio.

I'm sure the intermodal hub will boost this rating even further!

Damn that NIMBY Donkey Kong and his suburban agenda...

Well, you should see what some of their suburbs look like! I saw Salem & Marblehead, and they were both beautiful. No Mcmansions to be had. I'm sure that further from the city though they have cookie cutter burbs.

Does life get any better than Chicago?

Nice job Mark! Why did you move away in the first place?

I need me a time machine...

^ No Cheesecake Factory in the country.

LOL, I'd say expect a lot of PMs after that photo, Oompa Loompa... but then I remembered a lot of the people on this forum! Monte will probably be the one gettin the PMs...

Wow, what an awesome site!!! All that's missing is West Chester :-P

NICE, Chi-town neighborhoods insted of just skyscrapers! :)

I find visiting cities interesting because of their cultural uniquities. Each city has it's own districts, attractions, history, sports, skyline... etc... To me each city is like a bundle of secrets waiting to be discovered. The discovery part is what I enjoy. I like living in cities because of the activity and convenience. I like being able to walk to the grocery store, restaurants, bars, clubs, and sports events. I also enjoy the vibrance of having people active doing different things all around me.

Nice article, good for Cincy!

I think KoJo is ColDay's alter-ego. who doesn't love old urban photos???

My fiance loves Vinoklet wine. I think Dreamer is her fave. I like the Cincinnatus.
