30 years in Dayton.....
Jun. 21st, 2019 11:29 pm30 years ago this month, I left my parents' home in Buffalo, NY and moved to Dayton, OH to start a new job.
On Thursday, June 22, I flew out from Buffalo to Dayton via Detroit, to attend an in-person interview the following day. My itinerary said I had a hotel room at the "Holiday Inn Fairborn". But none of the shuttles said that on their vehicles, and I didn't know that it was also known as the "Holiday Inn I-675". I ended up taking a taxi to the hotel. At the interview, I was offered the job, and was advised to start as soon as possible. So after flying back home, I tied up some loose ends, packed some boxes, and on Tuesday, June 26, drove down to Dayton. In the first month, I lived in hotel rooms as I searched for an apartment. I found a 1-bedroom unit in Kettering.
In the past 30 years, there have been a lot of changes. Many businesses, restaurants, and shopping centers have come and gone. ( Here's a list of places I remember from 1989 that no longer exist. )
