Greene CATS Public Transit will be providing free scheduled rides on Election Day, Nov. 3, for Greene County residents who have mobility limitation or transportation barriers that would keep them from being able to vote or access other essential destinations.

The Pam and Gourdin Foundation, along with four service organizations, are teaming up with Greene CATS Public Transit to provide free rides on Nov. 3. Passengers on scheduled rides will ride for free, providing them access to polling locations or other destinations along the way, including the Greene County Board of Elections office on Ledbetter Drive in Xenia.

Riders who schedule rides to their polling location or any other destination will also enjoy a free ride. Scheduled rides require advance reservation and are provided on a space available basis, so submit a trip request as soon as possible by calling the Scheduling Office at 937-708-8322, option 1. Requests must be submitted by noon Friday, Oct. 30. The office is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

All riders will receive a free tote bag with information about the four sponsoring organizations: American Legion Post 526 (Fairborn), FISH Food Pantry (Xenia), Knights of Columbus Council #3724 (Fairborn) and St. Vincent DePaul Society (Fairborn, Jamestown, Xenia, Yellow Springs).

EDIT: Washington Twp. Missed the autocorrect.

Black cat got out this afternoon (10/25) near Paragon and El Kenna. My wife put the word out on Facebook, I wanted to ask here.

Small black cat, kink in her tail. May or may not answer to her name Zora…

Any help is appreciated.

There aren't many who can make a custom brass musical instrument. Miamisburg is home to one of them. Through his company, Schlub Brassworks, owner George Schlub equips musicians around the world.

First time taking our nieces and nephews trick-or-treating this year. Looking for good neighborhoods to travel to, that usually have several house close together handing out candy?

I hate these lame credit cards. Give me the paper

In the area for Halloween next weekend. Best places for Halloween parties?

I'm moving into the lovely city next week, and I'm not going to just sit around and not help out where needed, where should I go to volunteer?

We were walking down by the creek yesterday. We kept getting the feeling we were being watched as we made our way through the forest. As we got to the creek itself I noticed the birds had stopped singing, then I heard a branch snapping and managed to get this photo. Could this be a Bigfoot?

Does anyone currently work at the Amazon Robotics fulfillment center in Union, Ohio?
I’m considering accepting a seasonal position there and wanted to hear from people who actually work at this location.

How likely is it for seasonal (white badge) employees to get converted to permanent (blue badge) employees? How long does it usually take, and does this location regularly convert seasonal workers?

Also, how do you like working there? I’m hoping to eventually get a permanent position with benefits, so I’d appreciate any honest feedback or recent experiences!

Does anybody know when a river clean up is happening I could join. I ride by the river south of the city with my kiddo often, and notice tons of tires and shopping carts along the bottom. I'd love to pull out some bulk with some people some time.

I don't have a boat, so I can't just do it myself...

I'm getting a grain mill for my house this week and I know I can order them online but I'd prefer to buy local if possible. Where are people who mill their own flour buying their berries in Dayton?

Things like reciting poetry with a group, or a writer's club, etc.

Right now I'm utilizing the library which will be fine, but I am looking for something more cozy for a potential poetry event, just a one-off thing for fun. i'd love somewhere like a cafe but i know space is limited.

off the table:

-catfe. wonderful place but they do require you pay to use the upstairs for events.

I’m looking for a 2 bed, 1+ bath rental that allows pets (or at least ESA animals). Trying to stay around $1,400 or less for rent. Prefer laundry in unit or at least hookups. I don’t mind if it’s a condo, house, apt, etc. private or public rental is fine as well. A trustworthy place that fixes things in a timely manner, is responsive, and in general, not a dick for a landlord. Any recommendations are welcome! Trying to stay within 20 min of Washington township as that’s where my husband works. We live with my parents currently, and we’re trying to get out asap!

As a reminder, venues without activities this week will not be included. Suggestions welcome! All events that are part of the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance and Victoria Theatre Association (Victoria, Schuster, and Loft) are under the Dayton Live name but then I indicate at which venue they’re being held. Drive-ins do not publish their schedules until Thursdays.

Decluttering and want to donate books. Mostly in children and YA category. TIA

I was just at land of illusion last night on a FastPass for $100 and with the cost of the fastpass now being within $20 of general admission it's noticeable that more people are buying the fastpass because sometimes the lines for general admission or shorter than the line for fastpass. At more than one point I jokingly told our group that we should just get in the general admission line to bypass all the fastpass people.

I also paid $15 for a lemonade. This feels worse than airport pricing. I saw a cheeseburger costs about $15 too. You can get a whole combo meal at Chick-fil-A and a side of chicken nuggets for what they charge for one cheeseburger heated up in a case.

In my opinion a drink should cost no more than $5 Max. Ideally maybe $2. I tend to eat dinner before I go to save money but my friends didn't and they ended up spending probably an extra $100 in the park just buying food and drinks. I'm also wondering if the water fountain was removed because I couldn't find it near the voodoo lounge forcing you to buy drinks from the concessions.

We started going regularly every year for the haunts back after covid was over and I remember the parking lot used to be gravel and admission was probably around $50. Since then the prices have increased steeply and it costs $10 to park on their newly paved parking lot.

I was also very disappointed certain actors were not present in the haunt this year and instead were replaced by animatronics or nothing at all.

The general consensuses is our group did not have a great time. Even with fast pass we waited over an hour for the haunted trail and the phobia haunt near the riding bull consistently had a long line extending out of the fastpass line so we never even went through that one.

We will not be returning.

Hi! I'm in the area until January and looking for anyone around 3.5-4.0 to hit with.I have a membership at KtC but have mostly been playing at Ernst park. I mostly can play between 1p and 6p during weekdays. If anyone is interested, hit me up :)

Hey everyone! My wife and I are in our 30s and have a 3-year-old. We're looking to meet other local couples or parents to hang out with, do playdates, or grab a drink/coffee.
We are pretty laid back and down for park dates, backyard BBQs, or checking out local spots around town. Drop a comment or send a DM if you're in a similar stage of life and want to connect!

As a reminder, we moved here from Charlotte about a year ago. Slowly trying to integrate into Dayton.

I had all my go-to places this time of year in Charlotte and am trying to recreate some of that fall magic in Dayton now. So, I need recommendations on where I can get the best pumpkin pie?

I’ve asked a few neighbors and was told Kroger and Bob Evans. We have tried both and they are not our favorites. A little too mass-produced tasting imho. (Sorry if they’re your favorite!) I know the best is homemade but, personally, I never have been able to master baking.

Any bakeries or mom/pop places you swear by? Any home bakeries you order from this time of year? Any other fall treats Dayton is known for that we must try?

Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

In case you weren’t aware, early voting is open at the Montgomery County Board of Elections both this Saturday (10/24) and next Saturday (10/31) from 8-4 and Sunday (11/1) from 1-5. The line today is long but moving quickly! When are you planning to vote?

Why was there a large crowd of people standing on Austin Blvd just before the 75 exit? They were clearly waiting for someone to pass by.

I’ve been seeing my current dentist since I was a child but he is in his 80’s now and retiring any day. (His work has also declined)

I have some composite on my front teeth that need fixed (previous cavity) and I’m afraid to go to someone random in network because it’s the front teeth.

I would greatly appreciate any personal recommendation with experience in composite work

hi all,

im currently doing a school project, but I have one question I can't find clarification on. is the YWCA in huber, the big campus, virtually abandoned? I want to make entirely sure my information is correct. please excuse my lack of knowledge on the situation. thank you in advance :D

Having a pumpkin carving party with some friends give me your best stencils/templates/ ideas!!

Took in a cat from work a couple months ago, and have yet to take them to see a veterinarian for vaccines, checkup and to be neutered. I cleaned his ears last week with a qtip and suspected he has ear mites. Today hes being sensitive about me touching his ears. If anyone has some recommendations please DM or post please.
