May 20, 200619 yr I wasn't going to do it, but ended up taking that Third Street Shuttle to Wright-Dunbar tonight, just to see what its "Urban Nights" deal was. And I was impressed. It was quite a bit more lively than downtown. Jazz tent, open galleries (with live music), outdoor barbeque stand, and I ended up at crowded Smokey Joes listening to a jazz combo and eating some chicken and a fish sandwich. The theme was "Strolling the Nickle", sort of a recreation of the old 5th Street scene....and one of the galleries was showing this documentary video on the history and venues of old 5th Street. The old car cruise-in was great. I like old cars so this was up my alley... Some good old "bombes" (lowrider slang for a 40s car), but also this really really sweet late 60s Chevelle with chrome plated engine work..a true show car. And an BMW Isetta...the first Ive seen in real life. This was a great debut for Wright-Dunbar to the Urban Nights crowd.

It’s a pretty good analogy for the Wright-Dunbar neighborhood these days, as new businesses, and now new developers, look at the Third Street corridor as a new place to set up shop. Walking down the street one weekday, Erica Hubler, director of real estate and property management for Wright-Dunbar Inc., recounted the state of many once empty buildings now showing signs of life. “We’ve made a lot of strides in the last three years in terms of new businesses, and they’ve all stayed,” she said. The distinctive barbecue stand has been there over two years as one of the longest serving tenants, and nowadays it’s drawing people over from downtown for lunch. Wright Dunbar Inc. has been busy turning around buildings to be re-used. Payco has finished its move to 8 N. Williams St. and its old, 1,100-square-foot storefront at 5 N. Williams St. is ready to be backfilled.

March 9, 20196 yr City's redevelopment of former Wright Co. hangars moves forward The city of Dayton and its community partners are coming together to preserve and redevelop a historic piece of real estate so that it will become a contributing asset to the region through cultural tourism. In October, the city purchased 54 acres at 2701 Home Ave. for $1 million. It includes five manufacturing hangars, two of which were the original facilities where the Wright brothers produced their airplane models. Plans are starting to form around how they’ll be used in the future. Ford Weber, the city’s director of economic development, said the two historic Wright hangars – built in 1910 and 1911 – will be preserved for “cultural historic tourism.” The nonprofit National Aviation Heritage Alliance in Dayton advocated for their preservation and for the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park to operate the facilities. In addition to the hangars, the redevelopment project will include a new, $10 million Dayton Metro Library branch.
