[@marksmusicplace3627]

This is my Hometown. I lived on Salem Ave in apartment number 4 at 1039 Salem Ave from 1976 until 1985, Then we move to Five Oaks Ave for 6 months, then we moved on to 134 Rockwood Ave until I went to Central State University in Wilberforce OH in 1988. I then left and joined the US Army in 1989. I was just in Dayton a few months ago to visit my mom.

[@marksmusicplace3627]

@none of your damn business I'm not sure about the floor wars. I was only there for one semester in 1988. I left in December and soon after, I joined the Army. The Short Time I was there, Guys use to do panty raids in the Girl's Dorm. Which made no sense to me.

@@michaelphillips2629 like most HBCUs. Funding was hard to get from private citizens or state funding because the state would only fund states by their tier rating. Pell Grants, GI Bills, and Minimum State funding was all they could get so they could not afford to separate by ACT or SAT scores.

[@jasonstaton4075]

First off, thank you for your service Sir!! I am a fellow Veteran as well. I joined the Air Force in June 1993 exactly a week after graduating from High School. I grew up in Dayton as well, in the mid 70's, 80's and then we moved to Kettering the last 2 years of High School after I had an altercation with a gentleman at Belmont High School with a firearm. I grew up on the East Side of Dayton, off Linden ave, by Xenia Ave and then moved off of Wyoming Ave for about 7 years before the move to Kettering. Bussing wasn't a popular decision by alot of parents no matter what race you were when I was a child. As you know, alot of parents didn't like the fact of having schools in their neighborhood but having to send their children on a 30-45 minute (sometimes) bus ride to school (one way) everyday. But my parents thought it was best thing to ever happen to our city (and cities everywhere). Dayton had been segregated for many years before I was born (1974). Dayton was basically split by the river. Or if you were close to the University of Dayton, the city was split by crossing the Stewart street bridge, again, crossing the river. I don't know how all this came to be but Dayton as a whole was a beautiful city. Some of the most beautiful homes, the grandest in size and just all around beauty, where on the West Side of Dayton. But back to bussing. I enjoyed going to the old Wogaman school, then MacFarlane (now just an empty lot) for 7th and 8th grade. I made so many friends that grew up and lived on the West Side that I STILL am friends with to this day. I am almost certain that I would have never met these people and friends had I never been a white kid bussed to the West Side of Dayton. I was around and old enough to witness the crack epidemic of the 80's. As someone who didn't have family members or know anyone personally who did crack at all, it was easy to see that crack was destroying the black community. I'm not saying that no white people did it, it just seemed like just on the way to and from school in the mid to late 80's, there were alot more black people in the street/corners/curbs, etc "strung out than I saw on the East Side, and I lived in some of the "worst" areas in the East. Knowing what I know now, I truly believe that crack was somehow "put" in the black community to destroy people of color. Now unfortunately, it has come full circle. At least the past 10-15 years I've witnessed the East Side of Dayton getting more and more destroyed as far as urban decay. More vacant houses, EVERYWHERE. Junkies all over the place. But it's a totally different situation than the 1980's. This time it's White people addicted to Heroin, and Fentanyl. Or people thinking that they are getting heroin but it's actually fentanyl and dying. Or they actually want fentanyl. Another thing thats different than the crack epidemic in the Black communities, I truly believe that the government DID NOT put this Heroin and Fentanyl in the White community. I believe it just manifested because it was a cheap high and people just didn't want to believe just how powerful the addiction was. So now the city of Dayton is seeing it's 2nd huge drug epidemic in the 47 years since I've been in Dayton (minus the 8 years in the Air Force seeing the world). I still have mad love for this city that I was born in. I have family here, and I have 8 family members buried in Woodland Cemetery by the University of Dayton. 3 of those within 7 months of each other, and 5 within 5 and a half years. The sad part is 1 of those people is my baby brother, who died at the age of 24, from a heroin overdose. He was with 2 other "friends" at the time and instead of calling 9-1-1, they stole as much as they could fit into their car and then just left him there. My Dad found him the next morning when he drove by my grandpa's house (who just died 5 months before so my brother was staying at his house until it got sold) and the garage door which leads right into the house was wide open. This literally broke my Dad's heart. My Dad retired the year before (he took an early retirement from the government after working there for 32 years). Since my Dad was retired, and my Mom and him had been divorced for a few years at that point, all my Dad did was get up and cry all day and then go back to sleep. My Dad was a Marine who received a purple heart for getting wounded in combat in Vietnam. Once healed he went back to the front lines. I never saw my Dad cry in all my life until my little brother died. My Dad fell into a deep, dark depression. After doing this and constantly saying he just wanted to die so that he could hug my brother again, my Dad's health turned for the worse. 3 years after my youngest brother died at the age of 24, my Dad passed away at the age of 60. 60 fuckin years old. I don't know but to me 60 is too young, hell, 24 is wayyyy too young. I have had a fiance cheat on me when I was in Saudi Arabia, and a wife cheat on me after 10 years. I've had (like alot of people) to bury half of my immediate family in a 5-6 year span. Sorry, so very sorry for the novel that I replied to you. The moral of my reply is this to anyone that might read this; I have had enough bad stuff happen to me while I have lives in the City of Dayton to want to put this city in my rearview mirror. The City of Dayton is falling apart, literally. On the East Side, West Side, North Side, and the South Side (even though I've never heard someone say that they are from the South Side of Dayton). But if you really take the time to look, there is some beautiful homes in Dayton. It doesn't matter where you go because they are everywhere, Eastside Westside, etc. Most importantly, there are some beautiful and very nice people in our city, ALL OVER, I truly mean that, Dayton used to be like North and South Korea, you all know what I'm talking about if you are over the age 30. If you were a certain color, you would stay on this side or that side, except for school. Fuckin Bullshit. I don't know when but like the Berlin wall that shit got tore down. Move freely, we have a constitutional right to do so. Anyway, I'm just glad that it has gotten somewhat better than it was when I was growing up, alot more work needs to be done in our "Gem" city. But as long as it's forward progress instead of moving backwards I guess we will take it. Much love and respect to all!!

[@denisejackson4205]

Dayton born 1963, Dayton used to be a Industrial city, Where jobs were plenty, NCR, Frigidaire, General Motors, Mead. And so so many more to name. People moved here from other states to find good solid employment. When you got a job at one of these places you were pretty comfortable with money back then. My dad retired 40 yrs at GM when it was still GM. I miss all the good ole days never will forget. Dayton at one time was a booming place both, job wise an entertainment wise, Many stars came from Dayton an singing groups. To many to name. Tears come to my eyes when I drive down some of the places that used to be great areas, now nothing but torn down buildings or buildings that are worn out an never taken away. One that recently hit hard was Good Samaritan Hospital. So Sad.

@@tonythexgoat5518 - I check the crime stats regularly, and my area is very safe. I have some great neighbors, and they know how to keep their kids out of trouble. There's more than enough to keep me busy. I grew up in much fancier neighborhoods because my parents had survived the depression and they got college degrees and worked hard to have nice things. But I don't need all that, a simpler life is better for some of us. I'm not really bored; what lots of younger folk think of as "boring" is just an opportunity for me to play with my dogs, read a book or do some gardening. Life is sweet. I love Dayton, Ohio.

My friends used to make that trip up 75 daily. I'd get begged for rides up there a lot. This was 2002-2006. I still remember 35W exit then Abbey Ave and use a payphone there. Gettysburg, 3rd, Shell stations lol. Sometimes we'd go up the back way up RT4 and stop at Napoleons, a little store or something

[@mattk720]

Nice garden in the projects @ 5:21. Also, nice to see that their neighbors have not destroyed it.

I was near Dayton only because the USAF sent me to WPAFB (Ohio). My first impression was wow, rust belt, jobs gone, factories closed. Seems like that in the industrial & inner city areas. I left after my tour was up.

[@marksmusicplace3627]

LOL. I am from Dayton and it did not look this 30 to 40 years ago. It was thriving until the Job loss and crack and crime epidemic of the late 80s early 90s. When Inland GM plant closed, that was a wrap.

[@jedimindtrix2142]

Dayton is...well...Dayton lol. I live in Centerville a little down 675 from WPAFB. We have a great music scene around here but as far as "city life" goes not much other than UD and Brown street and the Oregon District. I don't hate it here by any means but I would certainly leave if my situation allowed me to.

[@tgoldsmith16]

so, what's your point?

Bad behavior comes from believing their less than.

Da Bass, everybody knows that. Try the View, Five Oaks, RP, Hilltop, the east side is ghetto and dirty as hell, or over there on Hoover. Drive down Gettysburg or better yet, go to the Krogers on Siebenthaler 😂😂😂

Trolley Busses in Dayton, you can See the Overhead Wires.

[@ryanbarker5217]

@Brian Meyer lol, dayton and education are two words that don't belong in the same sentence. you could drop several state of the art schools there and it won't change the mentality or culture of poor people, and they'd just accuse you of gentrification and call you racist on the west side.

[@bradsully6620]

North main and Siebenthaler was my old stomping grounds. I think there was a shell right there?? I mean I didnt live there, but I copped right around there back in my dumbass days. Thank god I have over 5 almost 6 years clean. I live in Cincinnati now and the drug scene is actually worse here. Even in the middle of this pandemic this drug scene is still flourishing. I mean I see it absolutely every day. Also I used to frequent all those side streets off Edwin c and off Cincinnati. Also places off of 35, like liscum. And when I would get off the Edwin c exit sometimes I would end up on germantown and go to those apartments off there that are all like newly painted and they're all painted really bright colors. And sometimes I would go places off Salem around Salem and siebenthaler. But yeah I don't think I saw any of my places on this video. But I grew up In the brookville/clayton area so I wasnt too far but I definitely wasnt in the hood, it was really country.

I moved outta Dayton in 2018 while the Heroine problem was still bad.I moved to San Diego, only difference is over n Daygo here it's a meth problem so you find ppl walkn around like zombies buggn out. In Dayton it was ppl sitting or laying down unconscious. And I remember the police would just roll by like they was tired of checkn if ppl were alive an shit. I remember a fucked up education system growing up too.It was nothn for somebody to know someone who could draw and do tattoos better than they could read or write.
