Whaaaaaaaaaaaa? no brick ranch to place Huber heights on the map! just a bunch of trees....pfffffft!

I found these while searching for an update on Ballpark village (which I couldn't find) But these were on Dayton Newsletter. I actually had to piece 2 photos toegther, and I'm by no means techy so you can tell, but I like the shot. Anyway. . .here they are:

not sure where I found this one, but I like it. .

here's my very colorful and very novice design...I don't think it's even formatted correctly, but I wanted to at least have some fun!

The master plan on the website is very old. I think they are actually changing it. Ground Breaking for the tower is 9/17/07. Will they build it. . I guess no one knows, but the new director has been doing a heck of a job there at DAY

I have to drive 75 everyday for work now...and I have realized that I think my favorite spot for a skyline pic would be very close to where the old Rey Rey/clock tower building is along 75. Acutally maybe 100 feet north of that building looking at the bridge going to Sinclair and on into downtown, but I have no clue how I would get that photo, unless my car broke down right there on 75 or I risked my life! :-) But I look at if everyday from that spot (going north on 75) and it's awesome

I LOVE Pigboy's Monet-esque Pics, but I also really like this one, that I think is his as well:

Me too!! I think that sucker is supposed to be 255 feet when completed, which is almost 200 feet taller than the current one!!! :-O

From Dayton Daily News Monday, August 20, 2007 DAYTON — The Dayton International Airport's administration plans to break ground on Sept. 17 for a new air traffic control tower that will cost at least $30 million and won't be operational until 2010. The airport's administration is planning an 11 a.m. ground-breaking ceremony for that day and will invite regional officials, airport spokesman Gene Conrad said Monday. The federal government pays the full cost for the new control tower. It will replace the current one built in 1961. The project is part of the government's effort to replace obsolete equipment nationwide in an air traffic control system straining to handle increased numbers of flights and air travelers. The Federal Aviation Administration estimates that the Dayton tower will cost $30.6 million, not including equipment and furnishings. Construction is to be completed in 2009, but the tower won't be operational until the summer of 2010 while electronic and security equipment is installed and tested, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Cory said. More at http://www.DaytonDailyNews.com Does anyone know if the rendering they did about 5 years ago, is what they are going to use going forward? I'll put it below:

This has ALWAYS been one of my favorite pics of Dayton:

I think commuting from CIN to Day and vice versa is more common place than most think. I was very close to taking a job in Sharonville and driving from Dayton every day. My best friend drove from downtown dayton to downtown cincy for about 2 years. I work right next to a guy who lives in Hyde Park and drives to NCR in Dayton every day for work....and then once you expand into WC, Mason etc....I think it's all over place the patterns of where people live/work. It truly is starting to blend into one big *ss area!

Absolutely!! Great shots!

I would be really disappointed if the crown didn't happen, I think that's what gives it its beauty.

I too applaud the decision, but the loons sure are out over on the comment section of the Dayton Daily News.

Hmmmm, with all of this expanding at DAY, I wonder if they are going to proceed with plans to build the new control tower and keep operations there?

I think I just died a little on the inside! My parents use to take me and my brother there every sunday after church. Lots of great memories. From the huge water/river feature in the restaurant, to the gigantic water wheel that was in the basement. I remember as a little boy watching the chefs make cakes...as they had a window that you could watch them as they decorated the cakes!

Perhaps you missed the first line of the article??? DAYTON — "People continued to move out of Montgomery and Hamilton counties"

I have to agree with the rust-belt self loathing comment. I work for a fortune 500 company here in Dayton and of all the people I work with in my immediate group; 12 in total, none of them live in Dayton Proper (though one does live in Hyde Park---so figure that out! :-) ) However, we are constantly having visitors to dayton from all over the country and world b/c WHQ is here and I was completely shocked overhearing people just cut down Downtown Dayton. We had set up a group of colleagues from France in the Crowne Plaza and at breakfast one morning before our meetings I was shocked to hear a handful of people tell this group not to venture outside downtown b/c it was dangerous...etc. etc. I pulled the group aside and explained to them that what they were told was indeed NOT true and they would be fine downtown, just be smart. I pointed out they could walk to the Oregon and there we a lot of nice cafes, restaurants etc. and just filled them in on a little Dayton history etc. The next day one woman from Paris approached me and said you’re right, it is very nice downtown, I’m not sure why everyone was making it out to be so bad. Hmmmmm go figure…darn suburbanites.

YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wright State defeated Butler, to become the first ohio team to be in the NCAA tournament this year! Best of luck to them....make Dayton proud!!!! :-D Oh how the folks at UD must be stewing. . .hopefully UD will play nice now and bring back the Gem City Jam

Dayton is still the World Headquarters of NCR, which is a Fortune 500 company

I looked closely at the Kettering tower today and on the southside where the brown "board like" material use to be, there is now a much darker black window or something. I could pressume it's a window/glass, but it's definitely not the same type of glass as the rest of the buidling, because if you look closely they stick out.
