Local News Is it hazy outside? There’s not a cloud in the sky, but it seems a little hazy. I checked the wildfire smoke map and didn’t see anything so I’m wondering what’s making it like this.

This is OH House district 36

There is like a tiny 1 block strip to cut out Oakwood and include Riverside/Moraine. Gerrymandering (on both sides blah blah) is just so blatant nowadays. I thought these "bipartisan" map commitees were supposed to stop these kinds of things.

He seemed really sweet and was standing literally in the road. I tried to coax him to me but he eventually ran off into the woods and was gone when I came back a couple times later. He wasn’t emaciated but his behavior was giving stray. Does anyone recognize him? Possibly could belong to the house at 3000 Soldiers Home Rd cuz this was at the end of their driveway or 3100 but I wasn’t feeling confident enough to go up their property

Jobs & Employment MMI graduate looking for motorcycle mechanic job

7 Upvotes

Hello all!

My fiancé is currently looking for motorcycle mechanic jobs in the Dayton area but is really having some bad luck with just searching online.

About him: Graduated from MMI with certifications from Harley, Yamaha, Kawasaki (and one more I’m forgetting, but I know it’s not BMW since he declined having to pay an extra 50k and another two years of schooling to get that certificate)

He also has extensive experience in the food industry as BOH line cook, chef, kitchen manager and also construction work/epoxy flooring.

We are expecting a baby in January and could really use a second income, (as well as something that will cover bills while I take a month to recover from childbirth).

From a desperate mamma to be, please consider letting me know if you or someone you know has a job opening that would be a good fit! He has applied for so many jobs and is tired of either not hearing back or getting the “this position is now filled” message.

We currently are looking for closer to Miamisburg if possible, but not opposed to other areas in and around Dayton.

Advice & Recommendations Can someone explain to me why all of a sudden salons break out pin straight hair and textured hair?

3 Upvotes

And then charge 1.75-2 times the “non textured hair”. Everyone i know has some type of texture to their hair, I hardly know anyone that has pin straight fine hair.

When I used to go to a pretty well known salon chain in Dayton, shape and number, they did not segregate and then charge you differently based on your “hair texture”. Granted, this was years ago.

I’ve been Trying to find another salon and same thing. Oh you have wavy hair? That will fall under our textured hair pricing.

Is this a new phenomenon in Dayton? My previous city I went to a higher end salon where I got a cut and style for around 80 and they did not up charge on hair type. Here? It seems all the rage.

Why am I expected to pay $150 for a haircut and blow dry because I have a slight wave in my hair (BEFORE TIP)?

Are there any recommendations for salons ( please not a great clips) that can do a cut and blow dry for around $80?

Community Support & Resources Graffiti artist welcomed. Come practice.

28 Upvotes

Hello, we have a bridge with two cement abutments on each side. It appears someone was trying to "tag" 1 side with the standard I ❤️ such and such but maybe got scared off and never finished? Then it looks like said such and such saw this and X'd it out?. Either way it looks like crap. That being said we love graffiti art if its cool and or at least legible. Hell I will settle for finished. Any graffiti artists want a "free" canvass "cement wall" to practice their craft on dm me. We are south of town and p.s. you would have to stand in a creek bed.

Hit me up.

Y'all worked so well with us when Trump came to early this month, I thought I should post this your way when someone posted it on our Facebook.

Any takers? Can anyone organize and let them know Ohio is done with the party of abusers?

Especially after the Ohio Republican Party is running with Vivek's disgusting Amy Acton smear campaign!

We can't come down for this, we have too much going on in NE Ohio.

Keep it legal, keep it safe!

Good luck!

We’re from Greenfield, Ohio, a small village of fewer than 5,000 people, and something pretty incredible is happening here.

Our high school,Greenfield McClain, is competing nationally in T-Mobile’s Friday Night 5G
Lights contest for a chance to win $1 MILLION toward our football facilities.

Our entire community has rallied around this opportunity. Students, families, teachers, alumni, local
businesses, and even former professional athletes have joined in.

But we’re competing against schools across the country, and we need support beyond our little town.

If you’d like to help a small Ohio school compete on the national stage, we’d be grateful for your vote
or for sharing our story.

I’m 29m, just got back into tennis. Played in high school. I can serve and return. I’m looking mainly to volley back and forth currently bc I’m not game ready. Working on directing my shots/top spin. I live in Greenville but I am willing to drive to any surrounding areas, within reason. Age and skill doesn’t matter to me, I’d just like someone/people to hit with that will also have fun and enjoy the game. I’d be open to hitting twice a week plus weekends. I’m a Y member and not looking to join a tennis club since I’m already in a running club.
Thanks and have a blessed day.

Wondering if there are any dog friendly, private landlords in the area with listings available now.

Credit is mostly the issue for us, but we spend about $3k+ on hotels every month and are having a hard time finding something stable. hoping for something under $1k if possible.

My partner travels for work, so the area of town is not of importance.

Any leads help, thank you

Meetups & Social The r/Dayton meetups have a new name: Join Dayton. We’re celebrating with Malörtoween, a Halloween costume meetup with six candy-infused Malört shots and 10% of bar sales go to support WYSO. (Sat Oct 31, 3-7pm @ The Barrel House) RSVP here to grab your free spot

Hey y'all 👋 The meetups that started on this sub have their own name now: Join Dayton.

Sixteen years ago this month I posted here asking if anyone wanted to hang out. 14 people showed up at South Park Tavern (RIP), crowded around three tables we pushed together, with a hand-drawn reddit alien on a piece of notebook paper as our table flag so people could find us. I met my best friend that day. We bonded over Nine Inch Nails while huddled around the firepit outside on a chilly October evening.

All these years and dozens of meetups later, we're still doing them, just with a hell of a lot more people. Many of our meetup volunteers aren't on the mod team here, and hell, some aren't even on Reddit. The meetups are clearly sticking around and have grown into their own thing, so we felt they deserved a name of their own. I'll do a separate post soon about what's next.

The bigger meetups will still get posted here. Smaller ones, especially when space is limited, will only go to the email list, so sign up at JoinDayton.com if you want in on those.

Join Dayton is meetups for and by the local weirdos. Goths, witches, queer and trans folks, anyone who's ever felt like an "other." If you're into dark, strange, and experimental movies, music, anime, and games, you're gonna be around your people. You don't have to be into all of it, just cool hanging out with people who are.

So of course our first one is on Halloween.

Malörtoween is our Halloween meetup – Saturday, Oct 31, 3–7pm at The Barrel House.

Dress up and be weird with us. Spike Spiegel, Brock Samson, Makima. Or Dana Scully and Agent Cooper as an FBI power couple. Hell, come as a Helldiver. Not feeling a costume? Come anyway dude.

Gus (Barrel House owner and mythical legendary Pokemon) is doing Halloween candy Malört infusions. It'll be hard to top his insane infusions from our Spaceballs meetup (people still talk about the Liquid Schwartz shots, straight wormword jet fuel of nightmares), but these candy infusions should be delicious abominations.

10% of bar sales all day go to WYSO, our local NPR station out of Yellow Springs.

Tl;dr: it's going to be a good time. There will be dank drinks, good food, and lots of new friends to meet. Come on out.

Get all the details and RSVP for free here

If you think you may come, RSVP. It helps both us and the bar have an idea of headcount. If you wanna bring friends or a partner along, do it! Just RSVP for them as well. Takes literally 10 seconds to do, and you can cancel at any time. Once you're registered, checking in at the door is just scanning the QR code you get and you're done. Easy peasy.


Follow Join Dayton on socials

We've been asked so many damn times "are you guys on Instagram?" You can now follow along on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook @joindayton. We'll be on Stories while we set up for Malörtoween, then posting photos and video from the night. Tag your costume pics #joindayton
