Rike's Santa Sleigh and Reindeer. I've seen a good number of outdoor commercial Christmas displays over the years, but I don't think that I've seen any that can equal the one Rike's displayed at the corner of its building around Second and Main. Pictures of it can be found elsewhere on this site. It featured a snow-covered housetop placed atop ...

My stick like arms and long limb legs, were put into ballet classes partially to fill up my time, partially to follow in my big sister's footsteps and partially to achieve some ...

Downtown where Rike's once stood (they imploded it) they have erected the beautiful "Schuster" performing arts center/highrise apartment building.

To most Daytonians it is simply “The Old Soldiers’ Home” and that’s all. Chaplain George L. Cutton has been writing a history of the Center and ...
The buildings, about 3,500,000 feet of lumber, and $1,614.93 became available to the Central Branch. The transfer of the Ohio Soldier’s Home to the Board of Governors of National Asylums took place with appropriate ceremonies on March 26, 1867. The first veterans arrived here from Camp Chase early in September 1867.
There were several in the Dayton area. Too bad, you just can't get good roast beef like that anymore. At the Airway Shopping Center, there was also a JC Penney's store until like 10-15 years ago. A myriad of places have come and gone, and it's probably only it's location that keeps the entire plaza from sinking.
