We eat a lot of omelets here- and like feta for the cheese. Usually we go to Halal International Market and buy their bulk feta- but this morning we were out- and they weren’t open. So- I went to Kroger. $3 got me 4oz of feta- Halal charges $3.99lb for greek domestic feta. To get [...]
It’s nice to see a good news piece about our neighborhood , Historic South Park, as the cover story of the Dayton City Paper. Despite what you may think about this neighborhood from reading the uncensored stories here- of my recent break-ins (which can almost all be connected directly with just a few bad actors). [...]
With massive vacancies in commercial space in Dayton (a banker from out of town told me that his people thought downtown was a ghost town when looking at site selection)- the city of Dayton still does its best to make business all but impossible.

Greg Hunter and David Esrati talk about your tax dollars being donated to corporate America in the name of “economic development.” With Montgomery County cutting money and jobs for services, we still have money to hand over to private enterprise as payola for running their business here. Also mentioned- the Historic South Park Home tour [...]
The kids’ book about “the little engine that could” is a parable for the South Park neighborhood in Dayton Ohio. The largest historic district in the city, South Park is a neighborhood defined not by its vast mix of homes, from manses to miniature (there is one house, the “Gingerbread cottage” that is smaller than [...]
If your business is a restaurant, you can spend all day dreaming about the fine china you want to buy, or the dishes you could prepare, or you could work hard on working with what you have. If you are the City of Dayton, you come up with dreams for “MidPark” the area just North [...]
