Probably like many people in many areas of the USA, I get sick and tired of being sick and tired about the Disney-esque way that my local world is presented by our local corporate media wizards, or the hordes of bad PR agents working to sell the fantasy viewpoint that EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE AND DANDY in our Grand City of Dayton, Ohio.

on Springfield Street to get some ciggies.

Coolest car wash in D8N - The Wash on Riverview Ave.

Cruising whatever scene is left at
the corner of Burkhardt and Jersey
in front of the Jersey Street Market.

What was once the W.W. Mac Company on
East Third Street is now an antique furniture store.

Front porch chillin' on Wyoming St.

The Findlay Street Industrial corridor.

Standing above the rest, The Spagetti
Warehouse stands strong.

Homeless couple shuffles through the
parking lot of BP Oil on Main Street.

the place to get your gear fixed in D8N for a reasonable cost.

Gem City records, Fifth Street in the Oregon District.

"I've got a poster that belongs to a Mike Brady.
He accidentally took his son Bobby's Yogi Bear poster instead."
Taken on Washington Street just west of Chaminade-Julienne.

Smokin' BBQ on Fifth Street just outside
of the Oregon District is a FABULOUS addition
to what was an empty White Tower.

Franco's Italian Restaurant on Fifth Street. Nice and
all, but costs too damn much.

Sterling Studios, Derailed Hair Salon and an
aquarium fish business on Fifth Street in the Oregon.

A Dayton drunk's oasis: heading into the
Oregon District off of Wayne Ave.

The Dublin Pub is cool if you are looking for gals
with thick legs and men impersonating St. Elmo's
Fire characters from the late 1980s.

The giant cathederal next to the post office
on Fifth Street will survive us all into the next
century and beyond.

Fresh cuts emerge from Cato's Barbershop
on Gettysburg, Ave.

Captain lankybritches taking his daily stroll
to stock up on Marlboros, potted meat product and
Old Milwaukee's best Ice at
the KrazyKroger on Wayne Ave.

Hippy dude walking his dog (not pictured) down
Wayne Ave. near the South Park neighborhood.


Somebody's got to change the tires
off of Gettysburg, Ave.

I dig the litter bugs me sign in the top left corner of your "Shirtless and shady" picture. Too perfect.
