Let's return back to Main Street in Dayton, Ohio. The tour last only 10 minutes and through stop lights and pot holes:There comes boarded up houses, vacant buildings, prostitutes, red light cameras, construction and drifters. Ah, this is my hometown. In previous videos you may have seen three homes, Rite Aid, and Interstate 75 through its construction phase. Well about five months down the road.....No disrespect to my town, but if there were things of interest here plus, tree lined roads and sense of hometown feel, then maybe some of this stuff that occurs currently can disappear.Still, instead I will direct this message not only to our mayor, but the congressmen who represent our area, the senators who represent our state, the governor, and President Bush. Here's a look at a community hit hard by the loss of jobs, foreclosure, crime and poverty. Think about that when you say the economy is doing well.If you are interested in the Tours Of Poor Dayton, see them here or on my other profile at http://youtube.com/LILVOKAThanks for viewing and post your comments at the bottom.FAQ- The reason why I call this a Tour of Poor Dayton is because of the area's declining population, jobs, boarded homes, business closings and economic turmoil in Montgomery, Miami and Greene Counties. And most likely Ohio in general. I have a reason for the title. If you have concerns, send me a message.So that will put to rest any questions of why I titled the videos!
