A Channel 2 TV News crew prepares to do a live

report from the corner of West Fifth and Euclid, where a
13-year-old girl was reportedly taken from her bus
stop and raped at knifepoint behind an abandoned house
this past week.

A old transmission shop that doesn't seem to be
open anymore that would make a great
indie-rock bar and cafe. Xenia Ave.

Two fresh young fellows stepping out on Xenia Ave.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the street, tattooed "me
try to look real mean, like a guy named snake from a
biker gang" plys his trade of looking longingly into the Xenia
Ave. abyss while a woman walks by.

Lanky fellow seen walking down Xenia
Ave, seemingly with a purpose.

Most retarded pallette stacking accident
waiting to happen sighting of the day. Keowee Ave.

The view of downtown Dayton near the convention
center looking into downtown from Main Street at
approximately 10:30 a.m.

THE BEST breakfast joint in town,
The Breakfast Club on Patterson Ave.

Looks as if a Jazz Club named the

Speakeasy is opening up on Main Street.

A newly renovated block of buildings on
Ludlow Ave. just South of Downtown.

The corner of Fourth and Main, the old McCrory's building.
Dayton is seriously being held hostage by banks and
real estate crooks who disable the many, to benefit a few.

Just what Xenia Ave. needs, another bar for guys who
look like the crystal meth incarnation of Jimmy Dale
Gilmore walking in and out the door all day long.

This dude is very patriotic, and wants us all to know.

Zero verifyable saves, although the term
is used prominently in their advertising.

Beautiful Home on Philadelphia
Ave. in Northwest Dayton.

Guy who looks like he's just passing

through town at 10:30 on Main Street.

The Oregon District is the place to go for drinks and dildos.
On special nights, you can find both of them in The Annex
sex shop on Fifth Street in the Oregon District.

14 Karat Gold CD and record store on Gettysburg Ave.

This guy takes the cake for trying to sell a crack house.
I suppose that dressing an old decrepid crack house up
with those little flags you see on a used car lot doesn't
do much to hide the truth - this has been a crack house
for years, and nobody is willing to pay the 10 grand this
fool wants for this pile of old grimy lumber on Neal Ave.

But if you'll look close, you'll notice that there isn't all doom
and gloom on the crack scene. Some crackhead has been
climbing the tree to the right of the house in order to break
in and sleep on the piles of encrusted rat shit inside.

Classic.

Theatre on Main Street, downtown.

Dude smokin' a grit walking up Wayne Ave. near the 35 overpass.

Shirtless male painting his mom's house on Alaska
Street. Good for dudes who paint their mom's house.

This is now what just last week, was this.

This is one of the many reasons I love
the Gem City. The humor of its people.

This old creepy dude holds "yard sales" from
an abandoned lot at the corner of Van Lear and Springfield
out of a stolen grocery cart, pictured below.

Man on the corner of Third and James H. McGee
gets into the spirit with a 40-ouncer at 10 a.m.

tattooed wanna-be porn stars and various other bad
actors at the annual X-Fest held in Dayton.

Boarding apartments on the corner of East Fourth and Monmouth
where men appear shiftless and chug 40-ouncers all day long.

Boyfriend and girlfriend smoke a joint
on the corner of Smithville and Burkhardt. She looks
like she's kindof worried about his bogarting habit.

One stop wireless on Wayne Ave. Since Americans gave
up on the concept of community long ago, cell phones are
there to deliver us to the individualistic nirvana we seek.

off of the school bus while his mother looks on.

The Meat King, Cornell Drive

I know I showed this building earlier, but will someone
PLEASE do something about this building on the corner
of Valley and Troy. It just breaths potential.

This yard and home on Gunkel Ave. is a sight to see and behold. Beautiful.

The Congress Lanes Bowling Alley on Troy St. For some reason
I don't believe many congressmen hang out here.

The Northeast Priority Board Building

Dayton Pizza Factory, Wayne Ave. Their pies rock!

I see this dude walking around all the time like he's in an eternal fog.

Begging for cash, downtown Dayton.
