Doesn't get much more west side than that, my dear Peasant.

See that squiggly yellow line there and below that the blue stuff curving around? The blue stuff is the the Great Miami River in it's half-mile or so jaunteast-west above the downtown area (the original Dayton township), and since the river there goes east-west, with maps pointing north anything above that is north. Ditto with the highway, although that is more northeast-southwest. The street is still northish.

Apparently extensive bike riding doesn't mean someone knows anything about map directions.

Postscript: Never mind. I just thought of the perfect answer to the repeated "on the west side" nonsense: anyone who cares to check city districts will find there is a Northeast Priority board and a Northwest Priority board. Now, folks, if you put northeast and northwest together, what you have in the middle is "north."

And we are back to the same lame argument you as our self-assumed resident Dayton/historic expert loves to make. And that argument.....drum roll please....there is no east or west Dayton.

Carry on. It's not my intention to argue something as silly as the moon is made of green cheese.

Hi all--

Does every thread, regardless of its original intent, have to degenerate into an unrelated argument?

It would seem so.

You outdid yourself on this one and proved my point by mistake.

Dayton Priority Boards:

West Side
F.R.O.C (Fair River Oaks Council)
NorthWest
SouthWest
InnerWest

East Side/End
NorthEast
SouthEast

Then where is the north priority board?

Wrong:

The seventh priority board is/was downtown. There's no "East Side/End." The north-south river in the map is the Stillwater, not the Great Miami.

And, I have NEVER said there is no east or west Dayton. The fact that there is a north doesn't alter that a bit.

As has happened before, the poster needs new acquaintances.

And just to drive the point home. If there is no such thing as an East End in Dayton, then why is there an East End Community Services organization on Xenia Ave? (You do know where Xenia Ave. is, right?)

East End Community Services | "Building a Prosperous, Healthy and Caring Community"


Oh....and here WHIOTV is in error in their reporting a shooting on Dayton's West Side. On Central Ave, which is near Forest Ave. And they are both on the West Side.
