    It had been years since I last visited The Oregon District so I was really excited to add it to our Saturday Dayton adventure alongside Colombian eats, aviation sites and Dorothy Lane Market. My imagination had built up a more charming and lively neighborhood than what we found. It's seems that most of the shops do not open until noon or later on Saturdays which seems odd. I was delighted to find fun and progressive shops like Press (coffee shop) adding flair to the neighborhood. I also really appreciated the brick street that serves as the artery of the Oregon District. Other fun stops: a Tiki bar and Irish pub that both looked like a fun time.

    Dayton's fun bohemian side meets it's urban cool here in The Oregon District. It's an intriguing little downtown quarter and it's worth checking out. This downtown micro area is a little seedy looking but that's part of the charm. This is the place where suits and hipsters, martini and beer drinkers and heels and sandals all mingle together. You get the picture. The Oregon District is home to a eclectic mix of businesses like coffee shops, restaurants, bars and pubs. There's also a mix of art galleries, book stores, antique shops, a thrift store, and one of Dayton's leading micro brewpubs - Toxic Brew. In case you were secretly wondering: the area even boasts a couple adult fetish boutiques if you need to get in touch with your freaky sensuous self. I guess the thing I like most about this area is that there's just so much here to see and do. It's almost all privately owned businesses so it's a relief from that big box, chain driven, Corporate America blah, blah, blah that you find everywhere these days. Go there to dive into the variety The Oregon District has to offer.

    Fun little district. Similar to a young OTR or Short North. A few restaurants. A good brewery. Several fun unique shops. Worth a stop.

    Cool, quirky, and quaint - Yellow Springs is definitely worth a stop if you're in Southwest Ohio…read more We drove up from Dayton over Memorial Day weekend, and had a great time walking around and exploring some of the small artisan and hippie shops. Even when it's busy, there's plenty of parking to be found. Some of the main lots were full, but we managed to find a free spot just off of the main road. Bring your walking shoes! Even though it's a small village, you can definitely spend a few hours perusing all that they have to offer. There's a few cute little eateries, and if you fancy a beer, you should definitely check out Yellow Springs Brewing. Many spots are also dog-friendly, if you want to bring your furry friend along for the fun. You should also plan to make the short drive up to Young's Jersey Dairy for some of the best ice cream around.

The Shawnee Native Americans visited this area for centuries thinking that the waters had medicinal properties. Founded in 1825 by William Mills and 100 other families who were followers of Robert Owns, a religious leader seeking to build a Utopian community, Yellow Springs has retained that utopian tradition. Antioch College noted for it's abolitionist history and human rights initiatives is located here. Today the town is the home of poets, university professors, artists. musicians and nature lovers. Dave Chappelle has a home here. Loretta Scott King and Ohio Governor Mike DeWine have lived here as well. The town has an artistic ambiance reflected in it's color schemes, business properties and even it's trash cans. It is home to the largest LGBT community in Ohio. Other attractions in Yellow Springs are Young's Dairy Farm, John Bryan State Park, Glen Helen and Clifton Mills Nature Preserve.

Some boardwalk, some grass trail, all easy and scenic. Tons of wildflowers while I was there early August, and tons of bird calls to ID... Trails aren't too well marked, but unless you're like me (little to no sense of direction!!) you can't get lost... ENJOY!!!

    I was looking for some place new to visit. There are lots of places around here, including the…read moregreat MetroParks systems that Dayton developed and maintains. Since I had been to couple of Greene County Parks in the past, I figured that I would see if I could get some guidance from their website. Frankly, this was an OK approach but their website needs some more work regarding description of the individual parks. What attracted me to this park was the wetland and the boardwalks. This was a great place to be on a cool, cloudy Saturday morning in April. It had rained in the last few days. The trees were full of birds singing at full throat, and there signs of wildlife all about. In addition to the animal tracks, there were obvious signs of beaver activity (appropriate given that Beaver Creek runs through the park). I could have stayed there all morning, checking things out. There are two obvious downsides to this place. First, the trail(s) is only a little more than a mile long. If you are coming for a long (or a "fitness) hike, this is not the place for you. The majority of the trail is in the woods, and there is only a small section in the prairie section. The sign there says that more trail will be added in the future. Second, as is the problem with most of the parks in the area, you can here road noise while you are in the park. Of course, the park is easily accessible from the town of Beavercreek and surrounding areas, but you "pay the price" by being close to the road. But honestly, that faded into the background while I was listening to the birds and exploring. I am grateful every day that the local community supports these parks, for me and for the wildlife that many people would not otherwise experience. Go check it out... you'll enjoy it.

    CK and I happened to spot this giant sculpture whilst we were wandering around downtown Dayton…read moreprior to the start of the Film Dayton Festival at the Neon. Its placed smack dab in the middle of S Main Street downtown across from a small plaza (that I later found out was called Dave Hall Plaza). I didn't know what the sculpture was, so I took a picture to look up later. Our 1st thought was that it must have something to do with the Wright Brothers (because EVERYTHING in Dayton has something to do with the Wright Brothers). And we were right. The sculpture traces the path of the Wright Brothers first powered airplane flight. It was designed by David Evans Black in 1996. ...And really that's all I could find about it. But I like it! I have a fondness for urban art that includes the areas around it and makes you feel like you're a part of it. I also think the concept of tracing a flight path is rather nice, although it does make you realize that the 1st flight was not long at all! It could be in a better (i.e. more trafficked part of town) because it didn't seen like it was in an area to be a highlight of Dayton.

    The official name for this sculpture is Flyover. However, many Dayton natives call it something…read morevery different. We call it the dinosaur spine because...well...it looks like a dinosaur spine. It looks like the Museum of Natural History misplaced one of their fossil displays. I think the bench at the entrance to Dave Hall plaza with two metal bowler hats is a much more fitting tribute to the Wright brothers.
