Historic, yet contemporary. Classic, yet hip. We’ve heard about this coming for some time now but today at 3:00 is the official ground breaking at the corner of 4th of Gay. Developer Jeff Edwards’ 9 block neighborhood covering mostly surface parking lots between fourth and sixth and between Long and Gay streets.
Early on it seemed favorable to compare the project to Chicago’s Lincoln Park or parts of New York, Philadelphia and other big cities. Everyone seems to forget the area East of the Deaf School Park which is currently Downtown’s only real residential area, i.e. with single family homes. They have a relatively strong neighborhood group too along with the Kelton House and the Davis Discovery Center.
The Goal of this project is to make it look and feel as though it’s always been there. I love their site (cool intro, and walking tour) and the aesthetic they have going on there and I love the project and anticipate it’ll be a fun one to watch as it builds out and up.

This is sublimely cool. Dayton could use this- well, most Ohio cities could use this, I suppose. Joe, I do hope you went and took some pix.
