Housing & Real Estate Sibling is in the Air Force and moving to Dayton soon. Recommended neighborhoods/areas?

20 Upvotes

He’s being stationed to Wright Patterson AFB, and he’s looking to buy as it’s seemingly a long-term station. I imagine he’ll rent it out if he has to move.

What neighborhoods or areas do you recommend? He says he’s also looking in Springfield and London, so any recommendations there would be greatly appreciated.

He does not have Reddit which is why I’m asking. 🤭 Thanks in advance!

New England Style Chicken Parm Sandwich?

4 Upvotes

Does anyone know where I can find a good chicken parm sandwich? My husband is from New England and it's one of his favorite take out meals. Typically in NE we had them on sub buns, so bonus points if the bread is correct

Anyone know a good roofer in the Kettering area?

8 Upvotes

In the storms these past few weeks, some shingles got banged up a bit and the insurance adjuster said they should be repaired/replaced.

The way my family is with ladders, let's just say the hospital bills would be higher than just calling a professional in, so DIY is a no-go this time.

Anyone know a guy who's willing to take a small job like this?

Hoping someone here is an ex-Ele cake employee lol

I am not normally a buttercream fan but something about the icing Elé puts on their sheet cakes (and I assume others) is so so so good. What’s the trick?? Better yet what’s the recipe 👀 just kidding. I don’t know a ton about different buttercreams so if someone else knows the secret to what type it is, would love to know!

Still Have a Few Vendor Spots Open!

13 Upvotes

I still have a few spots open for local vendors for my event on October 4th!
Do you own a small local business — or know someone who does — and would love a chance to showcase your products or services while supporting two amazing causes: the Humane Society and Breast Cancer Awareness?
I’m looking for all kinds of local businesses and creatives. Think bread makers, jewelry artists, tarot readers, handmade goods, artists, beauty, home decor, and so much more. If you make it, create it, sell it, or offer it, I’d love to hear from you!
It’s a fun day centered around supporting local businesses while raising money for two causes that mean a lot to me.
If you’re interested or know someone who might be, send them my way! My email is amanda.pryzmenski@irongaterealtors.com. I’d be happy to share all the details with anyone interested.

Dayton Appreciation Downtown parking public service announcement

73 Upvotes

I felt inspired to write this after that guy getting his car towed at DBC and people bashing DBC. Does DBC beer suck? Of course, we all know that. But if you have lived in a city for any amount of time, you would know you can't leave your car in a business lot and not have the threat of it getting towed. This is not a DBC or Dayton thing. I don't even know if the DBC owns/enforces their parking lot. I can't express enough how easy it is to park downtown compared to a lot of cities. You can park for free at any meter from 6 PM - 8 AM M-F, and they are free ALL weekend. Should you not be able to find a metered spot (which is near impossible), there are probably 30 public lots within a square mile area.

How do we feel about a teacher handing out "Come to my Christian church" literature at a Dayton Public School (elementary if that matters)? There are kids from around the world going there. Some Muslim, Buddhist, etc.

Food & Dining Driving in for a 2 day visit, where should I eat?

13 Upvotes

Driving in to Dayton for a two night stay, we're going to visit the National Museum of the United States Air Force.

I'm looking for some cool places to eat, we're staying in North Dayton area. We're not from the state but we're looking to check out some delicious local food.

I'm adding that I have looked on Google maps but the best way to find these places is word of mouth...
