Thoughts on Urban Nights? (Cincinnati, Dayton: move to, place, town)

[nickolaseposter]

You're gonna laugh:
I was volunteering on a trolley during the Fall Urban Nights and a woman from Cincinnati who had actually never even visited Dayton made the comment that she "didn't know what the Cincinnati folks were talking about when they said the city of Dayton was done and dead." Although I don't think Dayton is dead...I think she had the idea that downtown Dayton was that packed every weekend. I smiled and said that this was only because of the festival. She told me it reminded her of Chicago! I said the plan is that "Dayton WILL be like this every night in about ten years if the trend continues." She said if so, she would move to downtown Dayton in a heartbeat. Obviously, Urban Nights has done wonders for downtown Dayton and really inspires people to get involved with the Greater Downtown Plan and the Downtown Dayton Partnership. This thread is basically for the purpose of making Urban Nights even better, and hopefully a discussion place where we can plan to make every night and "Urban Night."
