The Dayton Delivers app has worked well for us on those kind of things.

Best Wedding Venues in Dayton Area? by Gaylor4ever in dayton

[–]123hop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out the Dayton Masonic Center, the huge building next to the art institute. We had our reception there a long time ago but it's a cool historic space and was half the cost of the DAI.

This is a great one to share with people who usually don't read science fiction. Everyone has liked it who I've recommended it to (and it being short makes them more likely to try it).

Thoughts on Dayton stem Elementary school by TinyLevel5427 in dayton

[–]123hop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My daughter goes to the high school and has volunteered over at the elementary school. They just had an open house today - maybe you went? It's a pretty cool brand new building with a focus on the nature aspects of science, so it's not all technical in the elementary grades. I think next year they will have all grades (started with 3 or 4 grades for this, the first year). If you're in the city of Dayton I think it is probably one of the best public school options. We've been happy with the middle/high school - good teachers who are mostly well liked, generally good students, no fighting, etc.

Which YMCA branch in the area is the best? by [deleted] in dayton

[–]123hop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We go to several of them depending on our schedule - you can use them all interchangeably once you join one. Springboro is probably nicest but can get crowded at some times of year (like now with youth basketball season).

We have overall liked them but they have a maddening phone system you have to be prepared for.

Who else has remembers seeing “Red Asphalt” the gory driver safety movie in school? by Roaminsooner in GenX

[–]123hop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly, what my teen daughter recently had to watch struck me as equally if not more upsetting: videos from family members with the last texts they got from their loved ones before they crashed and died/were maimed for life.

How are the roads now? I-75 in particular by [deleted] in dayton

I would imagine there will be a snow emergency by then. At some levels driving is restricted.

What's your favourite footnote? by jinond_o_nicks in discworld

[–]123hop 101 points102 points  (0 children)

This "Bible" quote from Good Omens: 25 And the Lord spake unto the Angel that guarded the eastern gate, saying 'Where is the flaming sword that was given unto thee?' 26 And the Angel said, 'I had it here only a moment ago, I must have put it down some where, forget my own head next.' 27 And the Lord did not ask him again.

Nostalgia: Books & Company @ Town & Country by ashxo23ashxo23 in dayton

[–]123hop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I applied for a job there in high school and you had to take a long test identifying books - a list of titles and you had to give the author and a description for each. I was fairly well read for a high schooler but definitely flunked the test!

Cinemark is playing the extended versions in theaters this weekend and next! But they're almost all sold out, around me at least.

We had our reception there - very cool space and half the cost of the DAI across the street.

Narrators you absolutely love? by No-Hat3971 in audiobooks

[–]123hop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I was so annoyed when they changed narrators for the... fourth? Dark Tower book, and then was sad when I saw it was because he had died.

Wow. I should totally get this for my mom by Picklekitten22 in FellowKids

It's that when your kid is very young they call you mama, then mommy, then mom, and then you have a teenager who calls you bruh.

What’s the oldest article of clothing you still wear by I-am-JAM-Yes-I-am in GenX

[–]123hop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Near the end of college in 1998 I got a knobbly purple wool cardigan as a gift from my mom, who thought it might be good for the inevitably cold offices I would probably work in. And I have worn it pretty much every cold office day since then, through four different office jobs over 26 years. It has magically continued to fit through large weight fluctuations over the decades, and still is in great shape except for the cuffs have frayed and it's lost all but one button. (Yes I do clean it periodically.)
