Did anybody watch the Simpsons last Sunday night?

 

Marge and Homer were supposed to go to Dayton to visit a cousin or an uncle and stay at the "Dayton Arms Hotel".

 

While waiting for their connection flight at an Alaskan airport, Marge and Homer decided to sneek on another connecting flight to Miami. Meanwhile, back in Springfeild, Bart and Lisa were left home with grandpa and they were watching the channel 6 news. A breaking news story broke - A killer tornado was pounding Dayton, Ohio and heading straight for the "Dayton Arms Hotel". They broke to a live scene and a killer tornado was tearing right through downtown Dayton and slammed into the "Dayton Arms Hotel".

 

Anyways, did anybody catch that?

Yeah, that's an old episode. It was Dayton of course because of Nancy Cartwright, the Bart Simpson voice, from Kettering.

I didn't know she was from Kettering. Rob Lowe is also from Kettering, isn't he?

Hmmm...flying from Springfield to Dayton?

 

And tornados in the Miami Valley...there was that tornado in Xenia.

 

Incidentally, another pop culture figure from Kettering is the political cartoonist Ted Rall.

Rob Lowe I think is from Oakwood, actually (as is Allison Janney). Johnathan Winters (comedian) was from Kettering as well.

"Dayton: Two Exits of Fun!"

 

Yeah, old episode. Funny, though.

I love irreverant comedy - I was howling when Marge was on the plane saying - "This is so luxurious - I feel like Princess Grace and Princess Di SMASHED together!". So wrong but so funny!!!

the wright brothers are from there too, can't forget them. the funniest thing about that simpsons episode for me was i first saw it like a day after i went to dayton

Well I am flying back to Ohio from Denver tomorrow morning. It sucks I have to fly into the puddle jumper airport of Dayton International, ah scratch that - I mean Dayton Regional. Denver is a great city as it was the other times I had visited. I am truly jealous of their free bus service on 16th street and their incredible light rail system that will soon reach E/C-470. But while I have enjoyed Denver, I am still looking forward to coming home.

 

On the way I flew into Minneapolis and this time I am flying into Detroit. It was my first time in Minneapolis Airport and this will be my first time in Detroit Airport.

 

I miss the green, but the mountains here are breathtaking! After all Cincinnati's hilly terrain was what sold me on the metro so it is no surprise that I would love Denver.

Hurry home. I was in Boulder a few years ago for a conference and thought it was nice, but I'll take S.W. Ohio over the Rockies any day however fashionable Colorado may be considered these days.

Home Sweet Home! Back in Cincy! The first thing we did was stop off and get some Cincinnati Chili - YUM!

 

Someone please tell Dayton Airport that the Wright Flyer carpet is ghetto! Can someone please update that airport! I will rethink spending the extra money to fly into CVG. I just don't feel like I am home unless I get to decend down the "Cut in the Hill" and see that amazing view of downtown Cincy.

 

I never realized how shitty most airports are until I went to Minneapolis and Detroit's! Detroit might have issues downtown but their airport RULES!

 

Denver is indeed a great city. Three great districts in their downtown from Larimer Square to LODO to 16th Street! I am truly jealous!

 

Wow Bengals new turf looks good!

^

 

I don't really like it. It almost looks too fake. I want REAL grass.

At least it is green and not teal like most fake fields.

I used to think I preferred grass, but I've changed my mind.

 

ANYTHING is better than the "frud" that the Bengals have had to play on for the last couple of years. I was sick of hearing the players complain.

 

This new surface should ultimately save maintenance money by not having to be patched, replaced, re-sod, etc.

 

If it was a baseball field, I would think differently. There's nothing like walking into the ballpark and smelling the grass. But no one smells grass in November....

^ Good points!

 

Nice!

I spent my first amount of time in Lambert Intl this weekend' date=' and I decided it was the worst I had been in so far. The construction doesn't help either, but it was [i']awful[/i].

 

Now that I'm starting my new job (tomorrow morning... I'd better get to bed!) I'll be flying someone pretty much every week, so I'll get to check out some others and probably see some that are even worse...

St. Louis is a 10 compared to Dayton.

 

I would rank my top 5 as:

 

Minneapolis

Detroit

Cincinnati

Denver

National (DC)

 

I am flying to Lambert today. Concourse D is a ghost town. 50 gates - ALL CLOSED!

 

If you fly Southwest out of Lambert you will be more impressed. It is a brand new terminal called East Terminal.

I'm sorry but Dayton's Ghetto Airport utterly destroys St. Louis' pitchfork design airport. I had a complete hellish experience(s) in that Lambart crap shithole and it is by far one of the worst airports in existance. I'll take the Ghetto Airport over that any day.

Dayton has a ghetto airport? Since when? Yes, its very low key, but we are not talking about a big regional hub here...

 

My experience with Lambert wasn't that bad.

 

My worst was Philadelphia. The place was congested, under construction, and was surrounded by a chain link fence topped by concertina wire. Welcome to The City of Brotherly Love? Uh...I dont think so...

LaGuardia gives PHL a run for their money in horridness. It's appropriate that Shea Stadium and the Mets are so close to that craphole built atop Manhattan's waste (wink wink, blah blah at Monte). Also, Dallas needs to add, well, moving walkways on their crescent terminals.

Let's put it this way. Dayton's airport is by far the WORST airport I have ever flown into. It passed Melbourne Airport in Florida and Sacramento Airport for that title. A Dayton person can't see this because after all they are Dayton people. They think small, hence why I needed to live in the Cincy metro and commute to Dayton for work. While the people I work with in Beavercreek like the airport because of the ease of getting in and out - thinking small ;) I love big, no I love HUGE aiports with thousands of people, stores, restaurants, excitement and it has to be clean and have a eye pleasing look. I love CVG for this - minus Terminal 1 and 2. I land at Dayton Airport and they send us up some staircase with peeling paint to a terminal that is so outdated and horridly ugly. That Wright flyer carpet is absolutely horrid. And the sad thing is that it is CUSTOM MADE! HAHAHA While Dayton is not a hub, nor does it have the pedestrian traffic in the terminals, they could at least modernize it. The Vandalia area around the airport is an embarrassment of tackiness. Even the descent to the airport is nothing but corn fields and farm land with a few sprawly Englewood neighborhoods creeping in. The I-70 merger west off I-75 is also deadly, I can't believe it has taken them that long to fix that. At least they thought enough to mold the concrete of the pillars with jets to commemorate the flying heritage of Dayton.

 

After all Dayton is the birthplace of Aviation!

I couldn't agree with you more monte. Remember how I used to bash Dayton back in the day? Now that you've been around the area for a while, do you kind of see what i'm talking about?

yeah ive been thru and dayton is horrible

Again, it's better than LaGuardia. Take it from somebody who's flown into Madrid, Tokyo, New York, Hong Kong, and Cairo, yes "big city" airports.

^ I'm surprised you hate LaGuardia that much. I've only flown in/out once, but I didn't think it was really that bad...

Done take my dislike for Dayton Aiport as a dislike for the metro. I like Dayton, but I would find it hard to live there even though I wouldn't be too far from Cincy. I like being part of a big pond, not a small pond. I like looking at the weather map on the back of the USA Today and seeing my city. I could go on with examples.

 

BTW, I went to Findlay Market today to get some goetta. It is absolutely beautiful but totally under utilized. The place I bought some cold cuts and goetta from said they were doing great business though so that is cool but Findlay while cool, it is far from North Market in Columbus IMO.

I too have been to Findlay during the week, I think it was a Wednesday morning. There was only one produce vendor and about half the butchers open. A completely different story from a Saturday afternoon.

Well, it does lack "Ms." Soy! :D

OK, I am going to the Reds-Indians game tonight. So while I was rooting for my Mets to stop the Reds yesterday. I want to see the Reds pummel the Indians in the "Battle for Ohio" - Mike Brown copyrighted "Battle of Ohio" - Go Figure!

 

I need so good Cleveland jokes and insults because I know there will be a bunch of Clevelanders in the stands.

I'm not much for pre-planned jokes. I'm more of the overly sarcastic bastard type.

yeah they need to beat the indians becouse the indians did sweep the reds right out of cleveland about 2-3 weeks ago.....

New York breaks ground on the New World Trade Center this weekend.

It seems the Tribe had the ultimate joke for us. 15-2?

 

Hope you had fun at the game, Monte!

The reds need to start winning again.

The game was fun but the Reds were awful. At least we got to see a great fireworks show.

Sorry to chime in late on this, but I've got to come to the defense of the Dayton airport.

 

A Dayton person can't see this because after all they are Dayton people. They think small

 

In regards to the airport, this certainly wasn't always the case. Back before CVG is what it was today, DAY was a HUGE airline hub. Piedmont Airlines had their 3rd largest hub located at DAY, flying hundreds of flights a day to dozens of destinations. Piedmont occupied all of what is now Concourse C, as well as a third concourse that now remains closed off to the general public and is used primarily for Comair's maintenance facility now. What happened? In 1987, USAir (now USAirways) took over Piedmont Airlines. Since USAir already had a large hub in operation in Pittsburgh, the Dayton hub (and Piedmont's Syracuse, NY hub) were dismantled. It wasn't until after this happened, that CVG and Delta were truly able to grow to their current status.

 

More information about Piedmont and the Dayton hub can be found at the airline's historical website at:

I land at Dayton Airport and they send us up some staircase with peeling paint to a terminal that is so outdated and horridly ugly.

 

The terminal has gone through a number of renovation projects recently, though most of the work has been done in the ticket counter/baggage claim area and the retail mall just past security. The atrium, the flat-screen TVs, the Max&Erma's, bookstore, Sbarro, and other outlets are all essentially brand new, and look pretty damn nice in my opinion. Some work could be done to the lower level boarding areas where ATA and Comair load and unload, but overall the boarding areas are in decent shape, especially compared to T1 and T2 at CVG. The subway-station interior of Terminal 2 with windows that only go up to your knee and no place to sit, coupled with the barren wasteland where FedEx planes park at the gates known as Terminal 1 truly are eye-sores at what otherwise is an incredible facility.

actually I like the low key nature of Daytons airport.

 

For low key, there used to be Ontario, California. Back when I used to fly to Califas for buiness alot I used to request this airport. So low key that they didnt have jetways...you got off on the roll-up stairs and walked across the tarmac to the terminal (with the balmy winter breezes, and the snowcapped peak of "Mount Baldy" towering over you). The luggage claim was outside. under these canopys. Then, just walk across the street (or acess drive) to pick up your rental car. Sure as heck beats LAX for ease-of-use.

And, yeah, the Sacto airport is really dated.

Cool Map...

 

yeah...how old is it???

ummm 1987?

Any possibility of getting Southwest to move into Dayton as an alternative to the expensive flights out of CVG? Or is it too close to the Columbus, Indianapolis, and Louisville markets?

BAH, I pray for the day that we see Southwest at CVG

Ohio is definately king of BW3's...SHESH!
