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.

Plenty of places to live in Dayton, except no one can afford anything.

I'd like to ask you some questions about Dayton. My email is kimmiemooo@hotmail.com if you have the time to answer.

Okay, I'm no longer anonymous. How can anyone live there with no jobs? I can't imagine it. All those wonderful places to live that people would absolutely love to live in and they won't be able to, at least not now. Dave, keep those pics coming, you're awesome.
