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.

The coolest thing about Dayton? Jason Dryden’s mustache. It used to be Shon Walter’s dreds, but, well…you’ll see.

Good luck in that quest. My daughter just moved out of state, and I am right behind her. Couldn’t find a good reason to stay!

More weekly wine tastings than anywhere but Napa. Definely more than LA when I lived out there.

On it’s way to being the coolest is Garden Station, the new park and destination at the corner of Fourth and Wayne. From the straw bale shed to the fire pit (and the buritto jam on Thursday) to the murals being painted on the railroad overpass… it’s cool, and getting cooler.

Probably the Air Force Museum. Interesting, educational and FREE.

The “coolest thing about Dayton” … I 75 is a fast way out.
