What? Dying? Us? Not till we talk about it…

Good news on our site from reporter Khalid Moss, who writes about a very cool idea: A couple of local guys hosting a weekend symposium in August that’s designed to let people react creatively to Forbes’ now-infamous (well, around here, anyway) inclusion of Dayton on the “fastest-dying cities” list…

Seems like a good way to get people talking about fresh ideas and new thinking that can help change the character of the city in a positive way. At least, it’s worth a try.

Here’s the story… What do you think?

Personally, I say if our city dies, it should be because we talk it to death. Start the conversation!
