    It is really cool they opened the Dayton Arcade for the holidays. The glass ceiling atrium is a beautiful. The Tank is a really cool little entertainment venue. The market looks like a popular place too. Thanks for sharing the festivities with us!

      The market is really popping in the summer. First time I've been there this time of year.

    What a beautiful building, that rotunda was just amazing. It's nice to see that they're trying to keep something like that preserved, it would be so cool to see them try and find a year-round purpose for it. I loved the Tank, reminded me almost like an old time jazz club or coffee house. Nice little treasure you have there in Dayton!!!

      In its heyday it was the focal point of the city. Filled with shops and restaurants. The move of people's attention to the suburbs and malls in the 70s-90s put it under. There have been many failed attempts to restore and revitalize it over the years. The current plans are the most promising yet. I actually have a great grandfather that owned and operated a shoe store that was on this block (not in the Arcade and rotunda itself but on the city block that the complex is located).

    What an amazing building, that rotunda looks really cool! It shows how much craftsmanship went into a place like that. And the Tank would be really fun to see a small concert there too. Dayton looks like a really cool place. I need to visit the city, hopefully next year as I expand my horizons🤞

    Hey Tolle, Cool trip....I haven't been in the Arcade in decades. If anyone ever leaves the window open in the art gallery, the "Whole Belly" is going to be full of bird nests ;>} There was a time when there were a lot of people around the Arcade talking to themselves.

    Beautiful building and we enjoyed the tour. The rotonda is stunning and you would think they would hole more events there than just the one. We enjoyed seeing some of the other places such as the art gallery and concert venue. I think these areas are open more often? Also like the market tour. Thanks for bringing us along.

      The place is still a work in progress. An Italian restaurant just opened a few months ago and there are plans for a lot more.

      It was a pretty popular place up until about the mid 80s. Kind of fell into disrepair and was vacant for years and years. There have been several attempt to restore it but this is the best progress they've had.

    That is a fun event, is the Arcade open for other stuff throughout the rest of the year? Who cares if people look at you talk,you should see them look at me, lets just say, most Santa beards aren't as good as mine 😂😂 Picture that one 😉

    • @TheTolleRoad
      @TheTolleRoad  9 місяців тому +1

      lol... giving old Santa a run for his money huh? Right now it is very limited in when it is opened. It is a 9 building complex so parts of it are open and other parts are still in the remodeling phase. The University of Dayton has opened an area called "The Hub" and an Italian Restaurant has recently opened. I expect more development there over the next few years.

    Look at you all dressed up in a button down. I thought you only wore Hawaiian shirts. Really pretty area there. I bet it gets hot there for the summer.
    Wonder if they also have small play productions there at the Tank? I stay away from the art stuff cause I’m afraid Rosalie will break something. UA-cam 💰 is not enough.
