Went to University of Dayton for Parents Weekend a couple weeks ago with my wife to meet up with her brother and sister-in-law from Chicago and their daughter, a sophomore. I'd never been to the campus. I was pleasantly surprised.

Then we headed to the Oregon District for dinner and a stroll. I'd been there before, but not in a decade or so and not with my camera.

I love the juxtaposition of neighborhood and skyline, with old towers ...

The vintage car is not the same vintage as the architecture, but I still like the pairing

Very nice! Always good to see Dayton photos

I loved these pictures--nice job, UrbanSurfin!  So many of the Oregon District buildings possess great character. (And I can't believe that I'm not cruising down one of those streets in that beautifully maintained vintage Pontiac!)

UD -- quart beers at kramer's -- let'sss goooo!

My old Alma Mater has seen quite a few changes since I've last been back in 1997. Nice set.

Thanks!!!
