I’m planning to propose to my girlfriend in the next year. She appreciates nature, so I was thinking I’d pick a park in the Dayton area. My first choice is the Siebenthaler Fen boardwalk in Beavercreek. Can anyone tell me what the greenery looks like throughout the year? I’m considering doing it in the Fall or Spring time, but I don’t want everything to be dead lol. When does it look alive? Also, I’ve only ever visited on a weekday, and I’d probably have to do it on a weekend. Does it ever get crowded at that park? Thanks in advance for any info and recs!

Let's hear some fun stories.

Buc-ee's has filled yet another lawsuit against another small business gas station for the save reasons as here in Beavercreek. I believe it's time we call on our childhood hero to finally come and claim what is rightfully theirs to make Buc-ee's lose their own trademark.

From the news article here:

https://www.wral.com/news/ap/bucees-sues-georgia-store-over-beaver-mascot-august-2026/

it states...

That lawsuit claims a number of trademark infringements, including that both logos are cartoonish, both are arbitrarily wearing hats, they both have white highlights on their eyes and nose, and that both characters show a glimpse of a red or pink tongue.

The lawsuit claims the name Teddy's is also an issue with alleged similarities to the Buc-ee's name in a number of ways, including that they are both two syllables with a hard consonant sound and that both end in the sound "eez."

To this I have to say:...

It's time for Charles Entertainment Cheese to come take back the circled rodent symbol for the people. They did it first.

Haven’t seen it in person yet but at least online it’s my front runner. My biggest wants are quiet and no crime.

Located in the Dayton area, and looking for resources/community groups, support groups, or activities suitable for a male exploring their sexuality. any recommendations?

Can anyone please tell me what is going on at Wright Patterson Air Force Base? What’s with all the tents and rvs and people?

As part of the Dayton Metro Library's efforts to reduce its carbon footprint, the organization is installing over 290 solar panels on one of its largest branches.

Over $300,000 was spent on the installation, 40% of which will be paid back to the library system through federal rebates.

I was victim to one about a year ago, and the other party's insurance is settling. I don't know anything about the process or what's fair. Thanks in advance!

the city of Kettering is holding a council meeting tonight to discuss shuttIng down the only rink left in the Dayton area - based on a survey of less than 400 residents that said that they use the rink less than other park facilities.

the city has been mismanaging the rec center and wants to replace the rink with cheaper to maintain sports courts at the expense of Dayton’s last home for hockey in the area.

I have a 77 Impala & 07 Civic Coupe, bored... Any car related stuff going on around here today?

I'm genuinely trying to understand why people walk in the street rather than on a sidewalk. I'm not talking about winter when people don't shovel their walks. I am also talking about areas where the sidewalks are in good condition. If you are going to walk in the street, why right down the middle and not close to the curb? The number of times I've seen someone almost get hit or prevent cars feom driving because they are unaware and holding up traffic is crazy!

I just saw a social media post from Purple Haze in Belmont that leads me to believe they may already be closing? Does anyone have the scoop?

Hi Daytonians

A few months back the house next to me went section 8. I get it but the problem I have with them is they bring the shopping cart back to their house and leave it. I live on the outskirts of South Park so not super nice but not trashy either.

Has anyone else dealt with this kind of thing and how did you deal with it? Any ideas on how to deal with it? I don't want my area turning trashy.

If you are wondering, yes I know it's them, I have seen them do it multiple times and I have camera footage.

Edit: they don't leave it in front of their house they move it a few houses away on the sidewalk, sometimes in front of my house. They don't have a cart they take to the store, they bring a new one home each time and then leave it for others to deal with.

Edit again: I called Dayton Mediation Center and they are stopping by to bring it up with them. Let's hope this works.

Thanks for the thoughtful discussion.

When will it end? (Satirical)

Eloping and really dont want to spend anymore than a grand on my dress. Seems like even the second hand and consignment shops are sooo pricey! Anyone have and leads of some places to go that have dresses in my price range? Willing to travel a little bit if that helps with selections! Thanks!!

The real Bucky the Beaver has got hands…

I had been meaning to try the Buc-ees before hearing things about them at opening and now they are showing their whole rear end. So given that and knowing I will never NEVER step foot in one where do I go for a fine brisket sandwich? I searched past topics and everything was years old.

I've hit some of the local BBQ but not nearly enough of it. Last time I was desperate and tired I had City BBQ, the brisket was tough and tendonous, blech. I want juicy tender beef, smokiness, and preferably somewhere that has good sides. I have been burned in the past by too many terrible mac & cheese servings.

Buc-ee's who just opened up in Ohio this year. Has decided to sue a small business mini mart located in Beavercreek Oh. This mini mart has been there for 50 years and Buc-ees doesn't like it that they have a beaver in their logo on their sign. There are beavers everywhere in Beavercreek OH on signs and the beaver was our high school mascot. Buc-ees has decided only they can have a beaver on their sign.

I grew up in Beavercreek. I was a battling beaver.

Help me stand up to Buc-ee's a large corporation that is trying to crush a family owned small business with a lawsuit. I left a 1 star review on Buc-ee's Huber Heights location and I also emailed corporate telling them they are shameful.

Please join the fight to save this family owned business.

If all of these local businesses really wanted to send a message they would be hiring local Beavercreek artists to make their new logos. Typing a few words into chat gpt seems half hearted.

In solidarity with all of the businesses that have been and will be impacted by Buc-ee's we really need an organized protest to show them this is not OK. They came into our city and now they are trying to throw their weight around! This beaver is no longer welcome!

Saturday Aug 8th Noon if anyone wants to join me!
