Speaking as an Appalachian, I don't think
we'll be able to quite rebound from all of
those unfair steryotypes until those who
put together our festivals learn to spell Appalachian,
not Appalachain. This shot was taken on Wyoming
Ave. near the Walgreens.

Dayton city officials are really missing the boaton attracting gay tourism dollars to our town.
There are literally thousands of men walking
around shirtless on any given day. If our city officials
were at all creative, they would be planning
"A Tour of a Thousand Shirtless Men," and
advertising it in The Advocate Magazine.

Dave, speaking as a repatriated Dayton lifer: you really, REALLY have your finger on the pulse of this city! Even if the pulse is administered by cardiac defillibrator. Anyone who can make squalor and pathos hilarious is alright by me! This city has suffered 40+ years of descent into a drug, anger, briarishness, and ignorance ridden hellhole. So all you can do is laugh! Kudos! Well done! I am looking forward to the coffee table book (hint, hint: bet you would sell a SHITLOAD of them.)
You could have that tour, but you'll have a mob of angry gay men due to the prevelence of low grade specimens. But , then they'd deserve it for not looking at the photos first. You've got some special looking people in Dayton.
Glad to see you're back in business.
