I lived on Cambridge Ave during my Patterson Coop years, after graduating I moved to NYC to attend FIT and Juilliard. Dayton was wonderful when I was a kid and before they tore down so many schools, E J Brown, Colonel White, Patterson, Jefferson etc,,,Dayton and Salem Mall and Downtown was the place to be back then...I miss Flying Pizza still today.
My son is stuck in Dayton. He's from Montana. He told me what it's like there. Terrible. It's not just Dayton. It's all over the nation, mostly in the eastern part because of the economy, covid, and drug addiction. This country is is trouble. You need a ring doorbell!
And the thing is this is not limited to one side of town or one neighborhood. It is like this all over Dayton. North, South, East and West Dayton is just filled with abandoned property and trash scattered in the streets and alleys.
Back in the 80s, my parents were given a suspended 30 day jail sentence for not painting the trim on their house. That same house on Riverside Dr is abandoned. My mom sold it after my dad died in 1995. They were told that it was on a main thoroughfare and had to be kept pristine as visitors were more likely to see those homes. It was recently sold to the neighbors next door. Not sure if they'll tear it down and just use the land. It seems beyond repair. I cry whenever I see it. They were so proud as it was the first, and only, home they owned. We even had 3 weddings in there.

We have people over here in Walnut Hills that try to organize cleanups but it's always the same 4 or 5 people going around picking up trash on the street and alleys. It's a losing battle.
Lived in Dayton area for over 18 years. My son's mother graduated from Meadowdale. My son played for CJ. When i moved there to go to Central State, Dayton was the place to be. Salem Mall was still open. The clubs and bars used to jump. Always was hood, but respectable. Felt like home, is home. I've seen it change over the years though. And not for the best. But it's going on in alot of urban areas around the country.
i feel for you & your frustration. the trash problem in dayton is severe. dayton city leaders seem to be more focused on downtown. the $ 90 million spent on the arcade would have gone a long way towards trash removal & enforcement along with demolition of the over 10,000 derilect houses. the problems are not only west dayton, but the entire city & it's getting worse. if the city leaders would take a real interest in cleaning up dayton i'm sure many of the residents would follow suit & work to clean up their neighborhoods. if the heat was turned up on nan wahley via the media-the dayton daily news & the 5 t.v. stations. perhaps the downtown area wouldn't be as important as the rest of the city. take pride in the entire city, nan, not just downtown.

If Chicago swapped crime and murders with Dayton, Dayton would be completely devastated while Chicago would be at least 75 percent safer than it is now.
It is a mess often in alley ways. There are many hoarders in Dayton all over besides mess. Be careful besides crime...it is an issue with some dangerous out there too.
I am currently looking into moving, looked at a house on rockford Avenue. But idk if it's even remotely safe for me and my family. It's a shame. I live in an apartment currently and I pick up after myself. And OTHERS. I do yard work and make things look nice because WHY NOT? I want my place of residence to look as nice as possible. But other people just trash the place. I dont care if I rent I go above and beyond.
I grew up in Dayton, lived on Maplewood Avenue which is between North Main Street and Riverside drive. Same over there, abandoned houses everywhere. Sad to see what's happening to my hometown.
Max Coning you are the first person to say the magic “words” let’s clean Dayton if you are serious plz subscribe like and share and let’s get together and figure out how to recruit enough ppl to tackle the missions. Dayton has Beautiful history from inventors and innovators. I myself have invested countless dollars and hours in achievements patent and trademarks so I’m ready to fight for a new Dayton.
The Westside of Dayton is terrible like you have some good people that keep up with their property but then you have other people that move in and wanna make it into a Landfield. There’s not a lot of jobs on the west side of Dayton there is not a lot of grocery stores good grocery stores on a side of West Dayton . It’s a lot of fast food places a lot of family dollars a lot of dollar trees a lot of Dollar General‘s but not actual good quality food anywhere in Westside Dayton.
Its good home cooked food on the westside of Dayton "Leland corner store and more" aka "For the Hood by the Hood" Also have"Hood Dash" add five to any order an they deliver in The Westwood area call cliff to get Menu 😉
All these abandoned house and nobody doing nothing about it and yet we got so many homeless people. This is maddening! You will see the same on the east side but I don’t think it’s as many as you see on the west side. There’s actually some very beautiful or would be beautiful homes on the west if people would take care of them. Main Street back in the early 90’s was actually decent back then. Sad to see how people just let things go.
OMG!! I grew up in Dayton, Ohio. My parents were the 1st black homeowners on her block. Homeowners took pride in their property, a lot of renters don't. We lived on Kammer Ave, West side.People keep asking when I'm moving back, never!!
It’s sad to see everybody leave I got, a lot of property in the Westwood area and I’m not giving up. I’m preparing myself for a fight that’s Why I made the video in the first places I need people to share this video it’s important to our legacy as black folk to honor what our grandparents & parents work hard to have ,and pass down to their children.
It crazy living my whole life on the west coast I just don’t understand abandoned houses. Where do these people go . Out here no one can afford a house let alone abandon one. I have one more kid to finish raising. She is a sophomore in high school. I’m in the laborer s union. So I can sigh up at any local hall in the country. Maybe I’ll just get me some abandoned homes. I can’t afford one here rent goes up every time I sign a new lease. I figure it’s worth a try worse comes to worse I can always abandon it. No way would I ever just abandon a home. Sorry I just don’t understand. Makes no sense to me to just leave your house. But like I said I’ve only visited Ohio. I found it to be a nice place. Looks full of opportunity. Like the next frontier.
It’s thousands here they Used to have a program called lot links you can look it up. The program sold foreclosure , and abandon homes for pennies on the dollar somehow the program was dismantled last year but yet we still we have an abandoned house and store problem I was trying to get everybody I knew involved some people jump on it a lot people didn’t you might want to check and see if they reinstate this program.
Thanks I will things just keep getting more expensive out here. Plus there are a lot of cash rich people that outbid us normal working stiffs by paying cash up front instead of financing. And to top it off they pay over asking price. And also drugs are a citation-able offense not a felony or even a misdemeanor. So druggies and homeless flock here. And a lot of cities ( like Portland and Oakland) actually defunded the police. So you can steal strip and load a car on to a trailer in broad daylight. On a busy street here in Portland, and not get arrested. The west coast is sinking time to flee.
Omg, I cannot believe it, I'm from Dayton ohio, come every year, I was born and raised at love chapel COGIC Church, that's at 12:06 Oak Ridge drive, is like when the street ends, you write to your right is the church, you can see it across the street from more for less or save a lot of whatever it was, I've been living here 15 years cuz I had to get away from dayton, but I grew up on gettysburg, First and the blueberry project, then we were we moved to the projects, which we called the whole, it was across the street from Timber creek, on Cornell, I love this though man keep it up, if we could bring somebody, to invest in our city, and really make it beautiful, Dayton can bounce back, and I am trying so so so so so so so so so so very hard, to pitch a reality show, about addicts, and the way the black community looks, and they say that that we have more black on crime than anywhere, well look at where the f*** you put us, you put us in a place to where nobody else is even going to come to, you they built the project for black people, because when people started move into the north, had a Mississippi and alabama, and all of that, Chicago Ohio but at the time, it was the three biggest cities chicago, detroit, and new york, and they like will f*** if they going to come up here and leave them out of numbers, we got to have somewhere to put them, like we don't want them living next door for us, so if our kids didn't see m************ out there selling crack on the corner all day long, look at our damn neighborhood, we can't even get our kids to cut our grasses and s*** like that, take out lawn mowers out, and and make them some money, so when they see cats making hundred of dollars by the day, and all they have to do, is to find a friend that does the same thing, and kick it with them and they house all day long, and wait for the phone to rain, then go stand up here on the block, and just take time that's what they do, so dating to me is like a ghost town, there's just nothing there whatsoever, or I can Boston you know we got the subway, even when I fly home I don't get a ride to the airport, I just take the train, and then we got another one for like I think it's like $15 you can take it to New York City nobody here drives whatsoever, because it's traffic all day long, they take the train to work, and usually parking near a train station, and then try a phone, they usually use the cars on the weekend all day when they're all, but there is no like well they got Kings Island and Cedar point, but how often do we really get to see that s*** and go there, like it's just ridic
So sorry you have to deal with all the trash. My family and I will be moving to Dayton soon. Trying to decide where exactly to live. It's sad ppl don't take pride in the place they live. I find trash in my yard too, almost daily and I live in Washington state. There are trash cans at the park just a few houses down and still I see trash everywhere. I don't understand. Obviously the problem there is more than just trash and hopefully someday something can be done about it. It is nice you do what you can. Don't stop.
I live on hoover between olive rd n union rd its trotwood area and the ditches are over flowing with litter , i get out an pick up alot of debris when the weather is decent ..and can u believe ive had folks yell at me that im a trash digger and or throw bottles ,lit cigars, cans of pop ...u name it ...people be so rachett anymore , theres just no hope for the struggle.... Im actually looking for a place in westwood area to rent while i do work to this house ... I had been gone a couple years and missed it alot but im really ready for the next chapter in my life ...and tired of these outrageous city taxes ....and the cops that are crooked af.butvanyways ... Might u u have any rentals in westwood currently ?? Long as its not trotwood ..lol...
Not at moment been looking for other properties but it’s so bad in these area I not sure if I want to buy any more ppl make me sick 🤮🤒😷 I can’t believe how folks live but say they want more they can’t take care of what they got already I’m thinking of moving to Vandalia It’s so nice and clean my slogan is classy never trashy
Lol, Cincinnati is NOT like Dayton. Old neighborhoods in Cincy get redeveloped. That doesn’t happen in Dayton. I lived in inner city Cincinnati for 15 years. I *tried* to buy in older Dayton and found the situation much too tenuous. My first home in Cincy doubled in value in 6 years. It has doubled since. Try finding much in Dayton where that has happened.
Two years later and it's not gotten much better. The amount of trash I see in the allies and sidewalks in my neighborhood (Walnut Hills) is infuriating. I've literally seen cars stop, roll down their windows and just dump their McDonald's trash on the road and then take off. It makes my f'n blood boil. Props to guys like this that at least try to clean some of this shit up.
Her cat is prolly chasing the rats that are living in the trash ! It’s appalling . Your property looks beautiful. Hang in there and thanks for sharing .
i feel ya man its geting that way all over ohio i was born and raised in cincinnati ohio and its like that in this city to pricehill sadamvill state ave qwean city if the state would remodel these house,s and rent them out for like 300.00 or 400.00 dollars amonth get pepole in them again i have been on the side of town were you live back in the 90,s and it was all right i thought then but i was stranded in the down town area had too stay at home less shelter antill my pepole came and got me from lima ohio so i hope your video get to the governer and the mayors of all place over there and they see what problem this has become so god bless you and i hope you can change this for the better brother robert lay
Why don't you take them, to the DV area, Grand Avenue( my mom moved us from North Lake hills, when I was 10 years old, to Grand, well between Grand and vernon, and Grand and Everett, but really it was Grand and vernon, this white house would have fenced in yard) , and S3uperior, and lexington, Oxford, Riverview, but particularly grand, and show them all of those basically mentioned, that look like haunted houses, that are just sitting there, literally just sitting, and I don't even know if you remember, on Cambridge in DV, was the I think it was the 1000 lighthouse, or the million lighthouse, where it is Caucasian very nice man, will literally put that many lights on the house he owns, and probably was renting, and have Santa Claus and a all type of candy, hot cocoa and just all type of look activities it was like a walkthrough you couldn't come back through the front door, and it was free, to everybody long as they were with children they were small, and it hasn't been done again, since I want to say maybe 94, and and 94 I was 12, I believe, because I was born in 83, and I'm 38 now, wow I didn't even realize that other place those numbers, but it looks just like one of those spooky haunted mansions, they will make the best houses in the world, from The Little Athletes we got from dayton, and like a lawyers and things like that, and one of them would just be too mother f****** stupid, if they made a haunted house out of it, for halloween, like that would be the best s*** ever, I'm out to fighting a good fight dog.
Former Dayton city commissioner Jeff Mims was just sworn in as Mayor of Dayton last Monday, January 3 ... Mayor JEFF MIMS time to roll up the sleeves ... you might also ask where was he and what were his priorities as a city commissioner to let it get and stay like this in the area he represented? I bet you all didn't vote for this kind of performance. In fact, get Gov. Mike DeWine in there.
It's sad We need more affordable housing for everyone and section 8 landlords as well People with felonies still needs places to live.. So Where are the lanlords that care? Huh??
Why the hell the price of those Brando’s go up so high here lately? Shit if I could find one on the deal I’d move over there!! Shit I’d do a whole remodel
I really dont get why people don't take more pride in where they live. It's really not that hard. If everyone did their part it would be so much better. But the problem is ALOT of people are on drugs and that shit takes control of people to where they really dont even care about anything but that.
Yooooooo I am hollering I live here but in Kettering lol I gotta show my mom this definitely ain’t a place to retire or raise ya kids I’m getting out of here & I can’t wait ready for my new beginning
Now you know damn well Kettering and the west side of Dayton are day and night. Apples and oranges. Oakwood and BeaverCreek in recent years #1 on the best cities in Ohio list.
Also so dont think i don’t know and am a complete outsider. I lived near 2nd and James near for over 10 years not far from where community center and All that is.

Wow oh my goodness, my cousin now see, accidentally overdosed I think she was 28 at the time, because I had just been in Boston for a year, but she lived on Loring and Oak Ridge she was buying the house, I think it might be another house, and she was buying the second one, because I believe she did it, but the house caught one fired, and she burnt her whole house was white from the apartment to the white leather furniture to her I never knew they so leather Versace beds, her Crystal Lailuque Crystal dinette set, and they put her in this apartment out by the Dayton mall, for like a year and a half, and she removed in, got her insurance money, and bought it all again,
Lawn Buster LLC is my lawn service landscape and Da’Vine wear is my contracting and art design Department I run two different unique companies and I work for a lot of older clients who love their yards and homes and can’t do the work themselves anymore because they either up in age or they have Tight schedules.

It aint Dayton it aint Detroit it aint Deleware... it's Everywhere!!!
I live in Dayton Ohio on the east side, and let me tell you it's just as bad as it is in the west side e
Abandon houses and trash, people don't care
What I think for our homeless people they should give these abandoned houses to them. Especially the homeless people that are getting checks and that are all homeless
Especially if the housing are abandon For 10 years or more I agree
No, its not. Not even close. But the East side is no picnic.
So I understand your hearts in the right place but just giving abandoned houses to homeless ppl to aquat in is a great recipe if you want the house's to get even shittier and probably burn down in the winter.
What the coty of dayton needs to do is make it as easy as possible to buy, fix up, and own property (this includes everything from tax breaks to not allowing worthless HOA's have their way). In short less shitty leftist democrat policies and more logical freedom-minded libertarian ordinances.
May God bless you continuously because it definitely takes strength to continue doing what your doing.
I grew up in Dayton and got out. Dayton is a sad rotten shell of what it was. The people that care are gone. The only thing to do is get out. You can't fix it.

If Chicago swapped crime and murders with Dayton, Dayton would be completely devastated while Chicago would be at least 75 percent safer than it is now.
Good case if I say so myself smaller area equals higher crime
It is a mess often in alley ways. There are many hoarders in Dayton all over besides mess. Be careful besides crime...it is an issue with some dangerous out there too.
I am currently looking into moving, looked at a house on rockford Avenue. But idk if it's even remotely safe for me and my family. It's a shame. I live in an apartment currently and I pick up after myself. And OTHERS. I do yard work and make things look nice because WHY NOT? I want my place of residence to look as nice as possible. But other people just trash the place. I dont care if I rent I go above and beyond.
I grew up in Dayton, lived on Maplewood Avenue which is between North Main Street and Riverside drive. Same over there, abandoned houses everywhere. Sad to see what's happening to my hometown.
Let’s clean Dayton! Everyone deserves a clean city!
Max Coning you are the first person to say the magic “words” let’s clean Dayton if you are serious plz subscribe like and share and let’s get together and figure out how to recruit enough ppl to tackle the missions. Dayton has Beautiful history from inventors and innovators. I myself have invested countless dollars and hours in achievements patent and trademarks so I’m ready to fight for a new Dayton.
Keep it up Mario. Imma finish college in Idaho and I'll be back to help
Thanks for sharing
The Westside of Dayton is terrible like you have some good people that keep up with their property but then you have other people that move in and wanna make it into a Landfield. There’s not a lot of jobs on the west side of Dayton there is not a lot of grocery stores good grocery stores on a side of West Dayton . It’s a lot of fast food places a lot of family dollars a lot of dollar trees a lot of Dollar General‘s but not actual good quality food anywhere in Westside Dayton.
Its good home cooked food on the westside of Dayton "Leland corner store and more" aka "For the Hood by the Hood" Also have"Hood Dash" add five to any order an they deliver in The Westwood area call cliff to get Menu 😉
All these abandoned house and nobody doing nothing about it and yet we got so many homeless people. This is maddening! You will see the same on the east side but I don’t think it’s as many as you see on the west side. There’s actually some very beautiful or would be beautiful homes on the west if people would take care of them. Main Street back in the early 90’s was actually decent back then. Sad to see how people just let things go.
P.S. Thank you for what you do! It’s good to see someone that actually cares and takes pride in not just their home but their community & city.
OMG!! I grew up in Dayton, Ohio. My parents were the 1st black homeowners on her block. Homeowners took pride in their property, a lot of renters don't. We lived on Kammer Ave, West side.People keep asking when I'm moving back, never!!
It’s sad to see everybody leave I got, a lot of property in the Westwood area and I’m not giving up. I’m preparing myself for a fight that’s Why I made the video in the first places I need people to share this video it’s important to our legacy as black folk to honor what our grandparents & parents work hard to have ,and pass down to their children.
Renters are a problem....they dont own it, so they dont care.
But Vandalia is still rich as ever
Of course Vandalia is still rich is predominantly white and where white folk go money do too.
It crazy living my whole life on the west coast I just don’t understand abandoned houses. Where do these people go . Out here no one can afford a house let alone abandon one. I have one more kid to finish raising. She is a sophomore in high school. I’m in the laborer s union. So I can sigh up at any local hall in the country. Maybe I’ll just get me some abandoned homes. I can’t afford one here rent goes up every time I sign a new lease. I figure it’s worth a try worse comes to worse I can always abandon it. No way would I ever just abandon a home. Sorry I just don’t understand. Makes no sense to me to just leave your house. But like I said I’ve only visited Ohio. I found it to be a nice place. Looks full of opportunity. Like the next frontier.
It’s thousands here they Used to have a program called lot links you can look it up. The program sold foreclosure , and abandon homes for pennies on the dollar somehow the program was dismantled last year but yet we still we have an abandoned house and store problem I was trying to get everybody I knew involved some people jump on it a lot people didn’t you might want to check and see if they reinstate this program.
Thanks I will things just keep getting more expensive out here. Plus there are a lot of cash rich people that outbid us normal working stiffs by paying cash up front instead of financing. And to top it off they pay over asking price.
And also drugs are a citation-able offense not a felony or even a misdemeanor. So druggies and homeless flock here. And a lot of cities ( like Portland and Oakland) actually defunded the police. So you can steal strip and load a car on to a trailer in broad daylight. On a busy street here in Portland, and not get arrested. The west coast is sinking time to flee.
I got out of Dayton 27 yrs ago, and it was the same way then!
I wish I could say the same, but I’m a native here and have family here so it’s worth the fight .
We gotta find away to stand together.
@@davinewear3549 I totally understand. my mom and brother are still there.older and retired now, but what do the younger genration do to survive
I’ve been gone since 1986, born and raised, but you couldn’t pay me to return.
@@gymeni that makes two of us!
Omg, I cannot believe it, I'm from Dayton ohio, come every year, I was born and raised at love chapel COGIC Church, that's at 12:06 Oak Ridge drive, is like when the street ends, you write to your right is the church, you can see it across the street from more for less or save a lot of whatever it was, I've been living here 15 years cuz I had to get away from dayton, but I grew up on gettysburg, First and the blueberry project, then we were we moved to the projects, which we called the whole, it was across the street from Timber creek, on Cornell, I love this though man keep it up, if we could bring somebody, to invest in our city, and really make it beautiful, Dayton can bounce back, and I am trying so so so so so so so so so so very hard, to pitch a reality show, about addicts, and the way the black community looks, and they say that that we have more black on crime than anywhere, well look at where the f*** you put us, you put us in a place to where nobody else is even going to come to, you they built the project for black people, because when people started move into the north, had a Mississippi and alabama, and all of that, Chicago Ohio but at the time, it was the three biggest cities chicago, detroit, and new york, and they like will f*** if they going to come up here and leave them out of numbers, we got to have somewhere to put them, like we don't want them living next door for us, so if our kids didn't see m************ out there selling crack on the corner all day long, look at our damn neighborhood, we can't even get our kids to cut our grasses and s*** like that, take out lawn mowers out, and and make them some money, so when they see cats making hundred of dollars by the day, and all they have to do, is to find a friend that does the same thing, and kick it with them and they house all day long, and wait for the phone to rain, then go stand up here on the block, and just take time that's what they do, so dating to me is like a ghost town, there's just nothing there whatsoever, or I can Boston you know we got the subway, even when I fly home I don't get a ride to the airport, I just take the train, and then we got another one for like I think it's like $15 you can take it to New York City nobody here drives whatsoever, because it's traffic all day long, they take the train to work, and usually parking near a train station, and then try a phone, they usually use the cars on the weekend all day when they're all, but there is no like well they got Kings Island and Cedar point, but how often do we really get to see that s*** and go there, like it's just ridic
So sorry you have to deal with all the trash. My family and I will be moving to Dayton soon. Trying to decide where exactly to live. It's sad ppl don't take pride in the place they live. I find trash in my yard too, almost daily and I live in Washington state. There are trash cans at the park just a few houses down and still I see trash everywhere. I don't understand. Obviously the problem there is more than just trash and hopefully someday something can be done about it. It is nice you do what you can. Don't stop.
I live on hoover between olive rd n union rd its trotwood area and the ditches are over flowing with litter , i get out an pick up alot of debris when the weather is decent ..and can u believe ive had folks yell at me that im a trash digger and or throw bottles ,lit cigars, cans of pop ...u name it ...people be so rachett anymore , theres just no hope for the struggle.... Im actually looking for a place in westwood area to rent while i do work to this house ... I had been gone a couple years and missed it alot but im really ready for the next chapter in my life ...and tired of these outrageous city taxes ....and the cops that are crooked af.butvanyways ... Might u u have any rentals in westwood currently ?? Long as its not trotwood ..lol...
Not at moment been looking for other properties but it’s so bad in these area I not sure if I want to buy any more ppl make me sick 🤮🤒😷 I can’t believe how folks live but say they want more they can’t take care of what they got already I’m thinking of moving to Vandalia It’s so nice and clean my slogan is classy never trashy
Most of Ohio (Youngstown, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo) is just like Dayton. Passed through Dayton a few weeks back it is sad.
Lol, Cincinnati is NOT like Dayton. Old neighborhoods in Cincy get redeveloped. That doesn’t happen in Dayton. I lived in inner city Cincinnati for 15 years. I *tried* to buy in older Dayton and found the situation much too tenuous.
My first home in Cincy doubled in value in 6 years. It has doubled since. Try finding much in Dayton where that has happened.
Which end of Dayton is this west? grew up on the east side.
Well all the refugees from Afghanistan, Mexico and Haiti need a place to live.
Right now is not a good idea too much going on in the Country
Why isnt Dayton seeing the billions of investment that Cleveland is seeing
Two years later and it's not gotten much better. The amount of trash I see in the allies and sidewalks in my neighborhood (Walnut Hills) is infuriating. I've literally seen cars stop, roll down their windows and just dump their McDonald's trash on the road and then take off. It makes my f'n blood boil. Props to guys like this that at least try to clean some of this shit up.
This is why truckers call Dayton the junk yard. Trashed forever. Remember to tell all are politicians thanks.
I would like to connect with you to clean our community, how can I contact you
Her cat is prolly chasing the rats that are living in the trash ! It’s appalling . Your property looks beautiful. Hang in there and thanks for sharing .
Born and raised on the east side Xenia avenue!! Left in 2006 my family wants me to move back and there's nothing to move back to 😭
I'm from Cincy id have to say Dayton is dirty. Personal experiences
Where are all of the NYers moving to that are coming here?
i feel ya man its geting that way all over ohio i was born and raised in cincinnati ohio and its like that in this city to pricehill sadamvill state ave qwean city if the state would remodel these house,s and rent them out for like 300.00 or 400.00 dollars amonth get pepole in them again i have been on the side of town were you live back in the 90,s and it was all right i thought then but i was stranded in the down town area had too stay at home less shelter antill my pepole came and got me from lima ohio so i hope your video get to the governer and the mayors of all place over there and they see what problem this has become so god bless you and i hope you can change this for the better brother robert lay
So wat can we do as Daytonia
Subscribe and share would help a lot and maybe a strong message will wake ppl up
Why don't you take them, to the DV area, Grand Avenue( my mom moved us from North Lake hills, when I was 10 years old, to Grand, well between Grand and vernon, and Grand and Everett, but really it was Grand and vernon, this white house would have fenced in yard) , and S3uperior, and lexington, Oxford, Riverview, but particularly grand, and show them all of those basically mentioned, that look like haunted houses, that are just sitting there, literally just sitting, and I don't even know if you remember, on Cambridge in DV, was the I think it was the 1000 lighthouse, or the million lighthouse, where it is Caucasian very nice man, will literally put that many lights on the house he owns, and probably was renting, and have Santa Claus and a all type of candy, hot cocoa and just all type of look activities it was like a walkthrough you couldn't come back through the front door, and it was free, to everybody long as they were with children they were small, and it hasn't been done again, since I want to say maybe 94, and and 94 I was 12, I believe, because I was born in 83, and I'm 38 now, wow I didn't even realize that other place those numbers, but it looks just like one of those spooky haunted mansions, they will make the best houses in the world, from The Little Athletes we got from dayton, and like a lawyers and things like that, and one of them would just be too mother f****** stupid, if they made a haunted house out of it, for halloween, like that would be the best s*** ever, I'm out to fighting a good fight dog.
Former Dayton city commissioner Jeff Mims was just sworn in as Mayor of Dayton last Monday, January 3 ... Mayor JEFF MIMS time to roll up the sleeves ... you might also ask where was he and what were his priorities as a city commissioner to let it get and stay like this in the area he represented? I bet you all didn't vote for this kind of performance. In fact, get Gov. Mike DeWine in there.
It's sad We need more affordable housing for everyone and section 8 landlords as well People with felonies still needs places to live.. So Where are the lanlords that care? Huh??
Salute Bro !!! OHIO Clv
Why the hell the price of those Brando’s go up so high here lately? Shit if I could find one on the deal I’d move over there!! Shit I’d do a whole remodel
How did the concrete driveway mario
Who abadoned those houses? I can't blame people for leaving Dayton. There's nothing left there but drugs and crime!
I really dont get why people don't take more pride in where they live. It's really not that hard. If everyone did their part it would be so much better. But the problem is ALOT of people are on drugs and that shit takes control of people to where they really dont even care about anything but that.
Constant poverty with no way out dosent help ones state of mind.
Hey, what is the e-mail for this video?
Yooooooo I am hollering I live here but in Kettering lol I gotta show my mom this definitely ain’t a place to retire or raise ya kids I’m getting out of here & I can’t wait ready for my new beginning
i feel ya, best thing I ever did was leave there 27 yrs ago
Not all of Dayton is bad but certainly certain areas are worse then others. I feel like Dayton will make a come back Eventually.
Now you know damn well Kettering and the west side of Dayton are day and night. Apples and oranges. Oakwood and BeaverCreek in recent years #1 on the best cities in Ohio list.
@@VMoore-fl1gy lmmfao
@@VMoore-fl1gy you are so right! literally like night and day. Beavercreek and Oakwood very nice areas.
The home Ave skatepark is dope as hell though at least lol
I grew up on Oakridge and although it's been a tough neighborhood for a long time most of those abandoned homes where occupied when I was younger
@@OhioPlayas yeah. Dayton is definitely still hurting but I think it's slowly getting better. Still have a hell of a lot to go through.
I grew up on home ave ❤️
I live in Dayton also, I wake up to trash in my yard every day.
Also so dont think i don’t know and am a complete outsider. I lived near 2nd and James near for over 10 years not far from where community center and All that is.

The east side isn't any better, trash everywhere and abandoned house everywhere.
Brother man, I feel ya. Parts of the Natti just as bad. I deliver for a living and people done lost their minds. NO respect! Like you say, do something with your life. Help people and your community. Amen? Yep.
Grew up on Laura ave over by Parkwood and Fairview nothings gonna change till they let the Police crack down on drugs

I c ppl throwing trash walking down street out car windows every day there. And I don’t c ppl n other communities doing all the time as I do around there. But well wishes my man.
Wow oh my goodness, my cousin now see, accidentally overdosed I think she was 28 at the time, because I had just been in Boston for a year, but she lived on Loring and Oak Ridge she was buying the house, I think it might be another house, and she was buying the second one, because I believe she did it, but the house caught one fired, and she burnt her whole house was white from the apartment to the white leather furniture to her I never knew they so leather Versace beds, her Crystal Lailuque Crystal dinette set, and they put her in this apartment out by the Dayton mall, for like a year and a half, and she removed in, got her insurance money, and bought it all again,
I may want to hire you sometime

I know that's the government involved in trash, violence, infrastructure unrepair, etc. They do the same shit up here in Detroit. How folks know every nok & cranny in the hoods, ghetto, & country of Detroit? They know areas I didn't even known or ben 2. It's only the bad neighborhoods they do it in but more than one time they would hit up a good lookin middle class neighborhood 🤬. Like mine down the street from my house a year or 2 ago 🤬.
