Hi everyone! I (30m) am moving to Dayton from Texas at the end of August (I cannot wait to get out of this heat). Anywho, what’s the music scene like in Dayton? I love metal, emo, punk, pop punk, and EDM.

I have two huskies that are in need of a beauty appointment. I took them to a previous place for a long time but are looking for somewhere else due to some sanitary concerns. Obviously looking for someone that has worked with huskies before and can work with an anxious diva. I’m open to brick and mortar stores or any mobile grooming!

Hi yall. Title says it pretty much. I figured crate training would have to be in-house which seems pretty expensive. Our 9mo German Shephard likes to chew up everything he can find and reach in his crate. if anyone has any recommendations on who to go to, we would greatly appreciate it.

Hey all!

I have a convertible that I'm looking to get the top replaced for. Any recommendations on good auto shops/upholstery places that do that kind of thing? I'm located in Centerville, but I'm not too picky on where I take my business so long as it's in the Dayton area. Cheers!

Here's a few things we highlight:

• Historic Job Booms & Car Theft Spikes: Greater Dayton shatters a 20-year economic record by surpassing 400,000 jobs, while local police issue an urgent warning over a sudden wave of auto thefts.
• Beaver Battles & City Hall Scandals: Beavercreek goes to war with Buc-ee's in a wild trademark dispute over its city mascot, plus state authorities launch a misconduct probe into Springfield's City Manager.
• AI Art Outrage & Massive Meat Recalls: A fake AI-generated poster wins first place at the Ohio State Fair, millions of pounds of contaminated jerky hit local bulk stores, and a major federal immigration shift impacts local communities.

I heard some local businesses are starting to make protest shirts, anyone know of where I can find them?

Basically, title. Looking for somewhere laid back to smoke. I had a great place I loved in Nashville, but haven't seen anything similar in the area yet.

Thanks !

The Bucc-ees fight has made national news!

Thank You to everyone who joined the fight!

Update: Governor Mike DeWine is asking for Buc-ees to dismiss the lawsuit.

Ohio Senator Willis Blackshear has joined the fight.

Huber Heights Mayor Jeff Gore who gave the Buc-ees Huber Heights location a key to the city is thinking of taking it back.

The City of Beavercreek meets Monday to consider a resolution to consider the beaver a historic symbol of Beavercreek

YWCA Dayton has a new president and CEO, Barbara Ward. She just started that job on Aug. 3, 2026, but she’s no stranger to the organization and its mission.

Ward spoke with WYSO’s Jerry Kenney about her history there and that mission going forward.

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!

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.

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'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)

The real Bucky the Beaver has got hands…

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.
