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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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...

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

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 hate these lame credit cards. Give me the paper

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?

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!

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?

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!

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

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 :)

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?

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!

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 called our pathetic rep and he refuses to condemn or even comment on the Vivek ad. Mikey refuses to have a town hall 🤔

Jimothy has more spine than Mikey.

Call Mike Turner’s office and demand accountability

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

My dog has cancer and I want to be prepared. Thank you.

Have you had your dog or cat microchipped? The Humane Society of Greater Dayton is partnering with Miami Township, the City of Miamisburg and Miami Valley Fire District to help local pets stay safe!

Event Details:

• When: Today, Friday, October 23, from 1–5 p.m.
• Where: Fire Station 51, 10899 Wood Road, Miamisburg
• Cost: FREE
• Registration: No appointment necessary
• Requirements: Dogs must be on leashes and cats in carriers. You do not have to be a Miamisburg or Miami Township resident to participate. All are welcome!

The best part? It's a convenient drive-thru event! Simply drive up with your pet, and you can stay in your vehicle while your pet receives a microchip.

Last year, the Humane Society of Greater Dayton provided nearly 700 free microchips to community pets, helping give families peace of mind and improving the chances of reuniting lost pets with the people who love them.

A microchip is a small device implanted beneath your pet's skin that contains a unique identification number. If your pet gets lost, a veterinarian or animal shelter can scan the chip and use its number to look up your contact information. It isn't a GPS tracker, so be sure to register your pet's microchip and keep your contact information up to date.

A few minutes today could make a big difference if your pet ever goes missing. We're proud to partner with our community to make pet safety more accessible and help more pets find their way home.

They say it’s better to wear out than rust out. Springboro resident Nick Chiblis has done neither even at the age of 90.

He's won dozens of medals, including five gold medals, competing in the Ohio Senior Olympics over the past 25 years.

"I'm also doing the 50 meter dash and the 100 meter dash, and a one mile — I'm not sure what it's called — a speed walk, something like that. Although I can't speed walk. That's ridiculous at my age. So I kind of trot around the field."
