October 2, 20168 yr ^^Did Dayton View ever have any sort of business district that just got lost to the sands of time, or has the Salem corridor always been essentially residential? It really is a beautiful neighborhood but there really isn't anything to walk to or even a logical place to construct a new business district in the heart of the neighborhood. “To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”
October 3, 20168 yr Yes, yes; Salem Avenue had a thriving business district stretching from Riverview Avenue up past Grand; Salem and Grand being a big deal (everyone remembers Sully's in the terra cotta building on the corner!) up through the 1960's when things fell apart. Shannon Buick was down where Reichard Buick is now, with shops carry-outs, drive-ins and even a Liberal's grocery, running up both sides of the street until you got up to Oxford Avenue, or thereabouts. I remember my cousin and I playing around Liberal's until closing waiting for my uncle to get off work, circa 1964 or so. Once you drove up to the Temple Israel/Catalpa Drive area, the business area picked up again with a lot of street-level mom-and-pop shops, and getting more and more commercial past Good Sam at Philadelphia, past the Goody Goody, on up to the next Liberal's at Siebenthaler. I would argue that through the mid-'60's, Salem was the happen' street in Dayton. City lights and trackless trollies; what else could you ask for?

December 22, 20231 yr Nonprofit plans to renovate 280-seat Longfellow auditorium to return the arts The developer of a senior living community in Dayton is hoping to build on its current plans with a renovation of its auditorium. The nonprofit United Church Homes, which is developing a 126-unit residential community for those 55 and older, says the Longfellow Commons Community will be the first senior living community of its kind in Dayton and only the fourth in the nation — as it is welcoming and enriching for the LGBTQ+ community and allies. The nonprofit is requesting $2 million from the Dayton Region Priority Development & Advocacy Committee to support a renovation of the 280-seat auditorium/staging and nearby areas along with the exterior entrance to the auditorium that the public would use.

April 11Apr 11 Along the Peace Corridor: Salem Avenue implements 'grand vision' paving the way for future development Salem Avenue was once a bustling corridor situated in northwest Dayton. In the 1960's and 70's, the area boomed, playing host to numerous bars, restaurants, retailers and more. While the area still features some local shops and institutions, it’s not reminiscent of what it used to be — and one organization has a grand vision to change that. ... Across the 3.5-mile stretch, the grand vision divides the corridor into three parts: Zone One – Town Center: Food, entertainment and recreation Zone Two – Neighborhood Center: Mixed residential and local services Zone Three – Phoenix Area and Promenade: Regional retail and health services Zone one sits at the entrance of Salem Avenue and spans from Riverview Avenue to North Drive. Major hopes for the area include a luxury hotel, jazz club, wine bar, ethnic food court, brew pub, wellness studios and a handful of historic facilities waiting for new life. Zone two, residing between North and Cornell Drives, aims to blend current living units with the addition of new mixed-use ones. Preliminary goals include residential luxury condos, an outdoor amphitheater, medical offices, an art center, boutiques and additional green space.
