The Dayton Arcade / Downtown Dayton
When I first moved here several decades back, one of the first places I visited was the old Arcade building downtown. I remember thinking, even as a child, that it was an amazing place to shop and look around. It was one of the first experiences I had that gave me a sense of early 20th century nostalgia.
A few years later, the Arcade closed, left to rot. There have been several small attempts to revitalize the building, but nothing has been successful. Why do you feel Dayton can't get people downtown? Why can't they inspire enough interest to bring the Arcade back?
Other cities, even close by, have successful niche marketplaces existing downtown. Look at the North Market in Columbus. What is Dayton doing wrong in its efforts to revitalize the downtown?
