What are you reading?

For credit, I mean.

Have a look at this article on the changes in college reading lists. Interesting.

Thoughts?

What’s Dayton’s coolest thing?

Well, fans, seems like we’ve got a bit of spat going on a post from a few days back in which I quoted a local artist on how he had to leave Dayton to find folks who thought it’s a cool place

But have a look and read the comments, and then think: Who’s right here?

No, wait … On second thought, don’t think that. Let’s for for the positive here — I know, I know, nobody on the Internet ever does that, but let’s just try for today, OK? — and assume that the most recent commenters and our artist friend Landon are correct.

The proposition, then is this: Dayton IS cool.

So, then, the question of the day: Why? What is the coolest thing about about our town? What do you like best? What would you tell somebody else about that you thought makes Dayton cool?

I’ll start: The Dayton Music Fest, jus last Saturday downtown and in Oregon. For 10 bucks, my friend and I saw a TON of great local music (Luxury Pushers … amazing they’re still around, and the rockin’est show I’ve seen in a long time). It was … drum roll … cool!

OK, your turn.
