For the last part of our adventure in our state’s capital, my husband and I had planned on visiting the Columbus Museum of Art for the Rothko exhibit. As amazing as the exhibit was, I was also just very taken with the place in general.
CMA is very modern and I [...]
I was excited to find out that I was featured in this year’s city calendar for Vandalia. My photo that I entered into the contest is featured on a two page spread of other contestants’ photos, including all of the winners of the contest. Sure, I was [...]
I feel sorry for voters in non-swing states because it has to be a little less exciting. Living in Ohio really makes you feel special come Election Day since the candidates have had to spend so much time and money campaigning here and the pundits can’t stop talking about you. I for one love the [...]
Last weekend I went to The Winds Cafe & Bakery in Yellow Springs with my husband and my friend Megan. We had been hearing good things about this squash and pumpkin lasagna and felt the need to try it as soon as possible and since The Winds Cafe has a seasonal [...]
During Urban Nights, our photos were on display in the PNC building for the Downtown in Focus photography contest. You may remember us planning the photo shoot and then carrying it out. We [...]

You know how I feel about the Pop Up Shops in Dayton – but ARIN puts me over the moon with their gorgeous jewelry. Last Saturday, I decided to check them out ARIN and really didn’t know exactly what I would find. Of course, I’ve heard [...]
There is nothing that says “we are homeowners in Ohio” quite like a cookout. My husband has been crazy for a grill since the weather turned a few weeks ago. Saturday, on the way home from an appointment, I felt him turning the car towards North Dixie Hardware unexpectedly. Once there we found [...]
I’m super psyched that I found this simple screen printed Ohio map on raw canvas. I already have a print of Ohio with a heart over the Dayton area and I think if I buy this and a few other pictures of Ohio, I might have a full-blown Ohio wall collage in my [...]
Welcome!
I love Dayton, I've lived here for all of my 26 years and don't plan on settling anywhere else. I started this blog as a way to showcase the best of Dayton (as seen through my perspective) and also to share some of the things that occupy space in my mind, namely beauty, home decor, quotes, and various aspects of my life.

Happy Birthday to Girl About Town!
I started writing this blog a year ago today when I posted my experience with an ice cream social/Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra performance. A year later, I’m still writing about my experiences living in the greatest city in the world, Dayton, Ohio!
I went from 0 [...]
