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.

Photos from the Streets of Dayton, Ohio August. 19th, 2006

Gang of three on Cornell.


Girl walking down North Main Street.


The brutal face of post-industrialism.


The Amber Rose is still the pride of Old North Dayton.

Sistah' is 'bout to tell you how we roll round here.


Crazy Dave's furniture on North Main Street.


U.D. students still get drunk here before
going home to have unprotected sex
and confessing to the man in
the booth the next day.


The old NCR building on the corner of Stewart and Patterson has
such a cold war feeling to it that visitors claim it is icy to the touch
on a hot, sunny day.


The Arby's and Lee's Famous Recipe on the corner of Brown
and Stewart Street is no more, and a new university development
is under construction.


The grand old Walnut Hills Bar where many
a famous indie-rock show happened back in
the day, is now Charlie's Cornerstone Bar. Walnut
Hills bar is now located down the street on Brown next
to Dewey's Pizza.
