Let's take a trip down Main Street in Dayton, Ohio. The tour last only 10 minutes and through stop lights and pot holes:

There comes boarded up houses, vacant buildings, prostitutes, red light cameras, construction and drifters. Ah, this is my hometown.

No disrespect to my town, but if there were things of interest here plus, tree lined roads and sense of hometown feel, then maybe some of this stuff that occurs currently can disappear.

Still, instead I will direct this message not only to our mayor, but the congressmen who represent our area, the senators who represent our state, the governor, and President Bush. Here's a look at a community hit hard by the loss of jobs, foreclosure, crime and poverty. Think about that when you say the economy is doing well.

Still if the 2008 Presidential candidates come through Ohio, why don't they make Dayton, Ohio their first stop!

Thanks for viewing and post comments at the bottom.
