Downtown business to offer more parking

Here’s good news for folks who frequent THE NEON in downtown Dayton.

Not only will there be a new place to eat before and after the movie when Sabai: Asian Cuisine & Sushi Bar opens in the former Chin’s location, (any day now) but Neon patrons will now be able to park at the former Greyhound parking lot directly across the street from the theater.

The new lot is visible from the front windows of the movie theater. Look for the newly-painted posts.

What do you think?

Boonshoft otters, eaglets named by Germantown and Dayton residents

By Amelia Robinson | Thursday, June 23, 2011, 09:03 AM

The Boonshoft Museum of Discovery has revealed the name of a pair of eaglets in the Mad River Well Field and a trio of otters who have taken up residence in its zoo.

Drum roll, please…

The juvenile eagles have been named Spirit” and “Pride” as suggested by Dayton resident Lana Nicely.

“In my opinion, there is nothing more symbolic of America’s spirit and pride than the American Bald Eagle,” Nicely’s entry, one of several, said.

Nicely has followed the eaglets progress through the 2011 nesting season via the Boonshoft’s live feed called EagleCam. It is still viewable on its website, BoonshoftMuseum.org.

The playful otter brothers, new additions to the museum, have been named “Glider Guy,” “Diver Dan,” and “Splasher Sam” based on a suggestion from Brenda Robinette Hill of Germantown

The names were selected because they “incorporated both the animals’ affinity for water and playful natures,’ the Boonshoft said.
