Dayton – so much to offer!

by | May 30, 2012 | Current Events, Neighbor Chat, Real Estate News

I receive updates from Dayton Downtown Planning and they do a great job informing people what all is really going on and the progress of projects in our great city.  If you aren’t receiving the information, here’s a quick synopsis:

Dayton Named One of the Nation’s Top 50 Bike-Friendly Cities
Bicycling magazine has ranked Dayton as the 45th best bicycling city in the nation. The magazine noted Dayton’s “claims to fame” include the fact that cyclists “can take off in the birthplace of flight with 30 miles of central-city trails connecting to a 270-mile network of paths.”

Crowne Plaza Completes $5 Million Remodeling
Downtown Dayton’s Crowne Plaza Hotel has completed a top-to-bottom $5 million remodeling. The hotel spent the past year refurbishing its 285 guest rooms, meeting rooms and lobby, which features a new fitness room and will be enhanced with a new coffee shop opening later in the year.

Enjoy Lunch, Live Entertainment at Courthouse Square
Noontime weekday entertainment in the heart of downtown Dayton is back. The DDP and Montgomery County present The Square Is Where … , featuring free live entertainment on downtown’s Courthouse Square.  A variety of performers are taking the stage around the noontime lunch hour on most Tuesdays through Fridays from now through Sept. 14.

The plan will assess the condition of current facilities and the need for space, create better-defined campus entries and improved student gathering areas through landscaping, and study traffic flow and parking.

 

City of Dayton Mayor’s Annual Speech

by | May 11, 2012 | Current Events, Neighbor Chat

I had this on my already very busy agenda just so I could hear the “formal speech” of some of the great things I know that we are starting to see the results from…I was surprised there weren’t MORE PEOPLE in attendance (but isn’t that always the case? Many complain, few do anything to support or cause the change needed??)

Anyway, Mayor Leitzell did a great job in recapping the past year activities, updates for the programs that have been implemented and directing those that still have progress to make.  Here is a quick clip I thought was really GOOD NEWS…

“For many years, Dayton was not ready for a do-it-yourself culture. But now, we are finding that communities and neighborhoods are embracing this idea, taking more responsibility for the quality of life in their own back yards. Community cleanups are being organized on a scale like we have never seen before. Citizens are learning how to organize these clean ups and how to access free resources to help. They are coordinating efforts with the City so that we can remove collected trash from the curb. People are claiming back their neighborhoods from the neglect of greedy landlords or unresponsive banks or mortgage holders by cutting grass on vacant properties, or devising ways to get it cut if they cannot do it themselves.”
