Dayton home prices rise 2nd-fastest in U.S."Home prices in the Dayton metro area were among the fast-growing in the nation in the past four months, second only to the Phoenix area, according to a new report released today.

I know they are just estimates, but the new estimates have the Dayton metro area growing by over 3,000 people, and Montgomery county also grew. Something is happening in Dayton.
Dayton may have just started its end run back to good grace and prominence, but so much needs to happen (especially in its CBD). I suspect that just about every urban-lover in Ohio wishes this city well. At this particular time what else can be said that isn't already well known? Personally, I'm elated over the looming reality of "Cin-Day" (sorry to the naysayers, but the merger is occurring)--however, Dayton's "internal problems" are formidable...to say the least. Enough said.
Dayton Cyclery, 506 Wayne Ave., has launched a bike messenger service and a restaurant delivery service in downtown Dayton and surrounding neighborhoods
DAYTON — The City of Dayton Office of Economic Development has contracted Atlas Advertising, LLC out of Denver, Colo. for $45,000, to create an economic development website that promotes the city to businesses. The award-winning company beat out 15 other bids, including five local firms, to create the site that will feature state-of-the-art search and database tools to show businesses what Dayton has to offer.
The nearly bankrupt U.S. Postal Service announced on Thursday it will close as many as 140 mail processing centers across the country between now and February 2013, including the facility at 1111 E. Fifth St. in Dayton.The Dayton Processing and Distribution Facility, which employs 432 workers, will close sometime in early 2013, and local operations will be transferred to Columbus.

Dayton doesn't rate its own central post office now? It doesn't make since to me to move the mail processing so far away. Just cut Saturday delivery services, that would save some money.
DAYTON, Ohio — As cities like this one try to reinvent themselves after losing large swaths of their manufacturing sectors, they are discovering that one of the most critical ingredients for a successful transformation — college graduates — is in perilously short supply.Just 24 percent of the adult residents of metropolitan Dayton have four-year degrees, well below the average of 32 percent for American metro areas, and about half the rate of Washington, the country’s most educated metro area, according to a Brookings Institution analysis. Like many Rust Belt cities, it is a captive of its rich manufacturing past, when well-paying jobs were plentiful and landing one without a college degree was easy.Educational attainment lagged as a result, even as it became more critical to success in the national economy. “We were so wealthy for so long that we got complacent,” said Jane L. Dockery, associate director of the Center for Urban and Public Affairs at Wright State University here. “We saw the writing on the wall, but we didn’t act.”
