The Christ Memorial Missionary Baptist
Church. It's astounding how the number of churches
seems to be in direct proportion to poverty
in urban neighborhoods. There's often two or three
active churches located on the same street. I guess
it's always easier to look up when you're on the bottom.

Smith's Family Market, located at 262 Lorenz Ave.
There are still homes in Dayton with giant
"Repunzel Repunzel let down your hair"
steeples that are just a wonder to behold in a world
that values real estate fashioned from vinyl, plywood
and drywall.

A young boy died here a few years back
playing near the train tracks on Miami Chapel
Street in West Dayton. Time and the elements
inevitably have deteriorated the memorial at his
place of death - much like the fate of us all.

Seems like half of Dayton is for sale, as has been said
many times. Once the great unwashed masses
realize the bountiful and cheap prices of real-estate
here, perhaps a tide can be turned. This building is
on West Third Street just east of Williams.

I think this picture says more than I ever could
about the greatness of Dayton's builders of yore.
This grand piece of architecture and craft is from
the Wright-Dunbar District on West Third Street.

Can you say loft housing waiting to happen?
This old industrial space sits at the corner of Horace
and West Third and is aching to be turned into
loft housing. Downtown is just across the bridge,
and the Wright-Dunbar District is a city success
story in neighborhood turn arounds.

The photos and comments express what I see exactly. There is beauty in everything. Thank you for sharing your camera with us. And I think you are on to something with your dealer/kid's toys theory. :)
