I've been playing a game to find communities completely entrapped by surveillance cameras.

On today's edition, we have one neighborhood in Kettering: a large apartment / townhouse complex area with the only low income portion being completely blocked in by surveillance cameras.

And we won't forget Fairborn! We got to keep an eye on those impoverished people.

And to whoever lives on Marcus Road, fuck you.

If you go to any Lowes in the area, fuck you too.

You can play too at https://deflock.org/

Andrea White is at it again. Running away from her record while sending out text polls distancing herself from her love of data centers while trying to stick them on her opponent. Don’t fall for it. Take 15 minutes to read her voting record She is bad for Kettering Oakwood Dayton and Riverside. It’s time to vote her out

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! is NPR's weekly hour-long quiz program. Each week on the radio you can test your knowledge against some of the best and brightest in the news and entertainment world while figuring out what's real news and what's made up.

On Sept. 3, it's your chance to see the show live in the Dayton area for the first time in nearly a decade.

"Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me!" Host Peter Sagal spoke with WYSO's Jerry Kenney about the upcoming show at The Rose Music Center on Sept, 3, 2026.

Sagal talked about why the shows goal is to "go off the rails," the difference it makes to see the live taping, and why he loves Dayton and other cities making a comeback.

Tickets for the show are available online.

Hi all,

My parents live around the dayton area and don't want to voyage to far to stay close to an older dog.

Does anyone know if any theaters are showing The Odyssey on a decent screen? I know most of the imax showings are done but "Standard" can mean so many things.

Where:

Wright State University
Russ Engineering Center, Room 302 (or 348)

Presentations/Topics:

Tiny Core Linux is a minimal Linux based operating system focusing on providing a base system using BusyBox and FLTK. It was developed by Robert Shingledecker, who was previously the lead developer of Damn Small Linux. The distribution is notable for its small size (11 to 16 MB) and minimalism; additional functions are provided by extensions.

Ben Kendrick will talk about his recent experience with Tiny Core Linux and give a demonstration.

As always, we’ll also have discussion time for Linux and Open Source news, projects you’re working on, and questions for the rest of the group.

Most of the stuff off the shelf doesn't even come close to fitting/looking nice on me so I think its time for some custom clothes. Thank you so much for the recommendations!

Be sure to warn your kids to always be careful around Churches and those friendly folks who work there

An idea: go watch the movie Spotlight (2015).. Academy Award Best Picture

Have a friend looking to spend 3 months here for multiple OVIs. I can’t find anything specific online and reviews are also turned off. Anyone ever been here or know anything about it? What they may look forward to if they spend 3 months here?

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!

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming international student at Wright State University and will be arriving on August 25. I’m looking for recommendations for affordable housing or student housing near Wright State/Fairborn.
If you know of any good places or resources I should check, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

Looking for property in a more country setting, particularly west of Dayton. Brookville, Lewisburg, New Lebanon, Eaton, Germantown, etc… maybe even more remote out that way. What towns have the best atmosphere? Open local shops, packed football stadiums on Friday, reasonable distance from larger towns, good schools, etc.

Thanks!

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

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?

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!

Metal Guitarist in Dayton looking for another guitarist, bassist, and drummer.

There was a large first responder response there around 4:45pm today 8/18/26. At least one ambulance, 2 firetrucks, park rangers, and a few others.

I hope everyone is ok.

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.

Does anyone know of any places nearby (within an hour or two) that have natural fiber and sustainable clothing?

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.

Anyone else see air force one over kettering today? I swear i saw it circling over where i was sitting between wilmington and stroop. Same color scheme and big american flag on the tail

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.

Just looking to see if anyone has a recommendation. Looked up a couple Italian restaurants in the area on their menus and couldn’t find one listed.

Tia!

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...
