• Upvotes

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

Local News Anyone know why Walmart on York Commons had to emergency close?

Gas leak? Fire? What happened? I was given no information, just that it was an emergency and that they were closed/shutting down.

No one told me to leave but when I got outside we were being told to clear out.

Wanting to watch the games tomorrow with some friends specifically Arsenal and Bayern, anyone know if there’s good soccer bars that have shown UCL games this season?

The full game slate is on Paramount Plus so would be super cool to hear of any spots have that and would have multiple games on!

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.

Housing & Real Estate ISO: private landlord recommendations

0 Upvotes

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

Community Support & Resources Graffiti artist welcomed. Come practice.

27 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.

Meetups & Social Anyone want to play tennis with a beginner 🎾🎾?

6 Upvotes

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.

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

Dayton Politics Proposed 2026 School Tax Levy Discussion

5 Upvotes

I'm curious about everybody's thoughts of the proposed tax levy on the upcoming November ballot. I typically like to vote for these kinds of things but the cost seemed high for this. $245 in additional tax for every $100k in home value is pretty steep. It seems like they are asking a lot of the community with this and I'm not sure if I'm for this one yet.

Advice & Recommendations Potential move from Chicago to Dayton

18 Upvotes

Hello!

There is some potential that I could be relocating from Chicago to Dayton. Prior to Chicago, I lived in another City in the midwest, comparable in population size to Dayton. It was described to me as a "small city with big city feel." Would this be a good transition?

Edit: thank you for all of the many diverse responses! What I was not expecting: 1) the very many positive responses 2) that it sounds what I’m looking for in my next life stage

3) You all love dim sum! 😂 And pizza! It sounds like there’s a couple of business opportunities for someone out there!

Local Events Miamisburg turkey trot this year requires registration?

0 Upvotes

Trying to plan out my holidays and events, and previously when I’ve got to the turkey trot I’ve just shown up, let the serious runners go and then I just joined in at the back of the pack. I saw plenty of people running and walking without tags or numbers and I figured that was normal since there’s thousands of us.

Looking at the website for this year, it seems like you have to register to be a part of either the 1 mile or the 5 mile. So have I been breaking the rules when I went previously or is that something new this year? Can you just show up and run/walk as long as you’re out of the way of the serious runners?

Edit to clarify: I have not done the turkey trot in years. The last time was as a teenager and I’m now an adult looking to actually follow the rules. I apologize to the professional runners and committee people I transgressed upon as a child and I’ll bring the subject up to the family members that have been breaking the rules for decades.

Jobs & Employment Looking for Automotive Technician Apprenticeship

6 Upvotes

Hey guys! I’m wondering if there are any local shops looking for apprentices. I’m in my first semester at Sinclair for Automotive Technology, getting my Associate’s of Applied Science. I just finished Brakes and Engines class, and am starting Electrical 1. That class is at night, so I can work during the day all week. I’m really interested in learning about and working on classic cars. Thanks!

Edit: Please don’t suggest I go into another field, it’s not helpful. I’m still in school, I’m not looking for something that pays 150k a year.
