Why Is the Shell on N Fairfield Rd Always So Empty??

Is there any particular reason why the Shell located at the intersection of North Fairfield Road and Dayton Xenia Road always seems to be super empty, even during peak traffic?

If anyone knows anything, please let me know. Is the gas actually water? Lol

New Goth Night

Starting a new night that I hope to eventually turn into a monthly event featuring live bands fitting under the goth and dark alt umbrella. Ghost Painted Sky is a post punk band coming all the way from Massachusetts, and Summore is an electro pop duo from Columbus opening up the show at 9:30. There will be a vinyl DJ set afterwards! Come dance with us.

Place to rehome our cat with behavioral issues?

My fiance and I have a long hair domestic cat. He has some behavioral issues with marking on doors and pooping on the floor. He has been to the vet and thoroughly examine, he has no medical issues and it is 100% behavioral. We are pretty sure this stems from our other cat who has recently put on meds is getting (what the long hair thinks is) "extra treats". Since our other cat is now weaker, our long hair is now stealing his food and bullying our other cat. He needs to be in a single cat home.

Is there a place we can rehome our long hair?

So which one of you weirdos was scoping out the County Administration Building/Juvenile Courts with a Drone about 15 minutes ago?

Heard this rather irritating buzzing, looked up and some oddball had a cheapo-drone out just hovering.

When We Were Young Tickets

I have 2 GA tickets to WWWY I can’t use. The mailed wristbands. So much easier to hand them off face to face. It’s probably a long shot, but if anyone is interested let me know!

Deep clean - move

Hello! My husband and I are moving to a new apartment in the greater Dayton area. We are hoping to have someone come do a deep clean before we move everything in just so we can make sure that we’re getting an apartment that’s 100% clean and ready for us (we don’t want any previous tenants’ messes 🙃).

We’d love recommendations for companies that do this and do this well. Small, local businesses with reviews are preferred!

Bread similar to bread from Belmont bakery?

Anyone know of a bakery that makes bread similar to what Belmont Bakery made? My uncle used to get that bread whenever he hosted a holiday/party at his house until they closed. I would like to get something similar to it for his funeral, if possible. Thanks

Lights at skateparks

We have such sick skate parks and infrastructure but you can't use them when it gets dark in the winters. who would be able to make the decision to get some lights added to our skateparks? The only alternative is Mike's bike park downtown but that adds up very quickly
