Front Street was on First Street (weirdly enough) near the corner of First and Main where there is now an Enterprise Rental Car place. It later became one of the Seattle East locations.<BR/><BR/>The Daily Grind was on Brown Street near UD, close to the old Jesse Phillips Center that's getting prepped for teardown soon. At one point after the coffeehouse closed, the property reverted back to ownership by UD and was used for office space, but the whole building has since been demolished for more student housing.<BR/><BR/>In Front Street's heyday, it was more of an artists' collective gallery space, though they did have some live music from time to time. Daily Grind, though, had a dedicated stage, albeit a small one, and was more about music.<BR/><BR/>Somebody ought to do a history of defunct Dayton indie coffeehouses. Another good one was EFX on Brown, which is now half a nail salon and half a tax prep service. They had a cigar lounge section and were the first to offer internet accessibility services (via a bank of computers in-house, though, no wi-fi... this was around '98, if memory serves).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-89915583104619698622008-01-30T17:54:00.000-05:002008-01-30T17:54:00.000-05:00Yeah, I've been reading those City Paper articles....Yeah, I've been reading those City Paper articles. They are by Meltones, who hosts the Bhudda Den blog, linked over in the blogroll. <BR/><BR/>I was around during those years but that whole scene was well below my radar at the time. I think I recall Daily Grind..wasnt it also called Front Street or was that another one?<BR/><BR/>Another thing I recall from that era was Criminal Records. It was a little record shop in a cinderblock factory building near Tals Corner, sold house and techno music and such. I dont think it was in buisiness but a year.<BR/><BR/>But yeah, there is a continuing underground in Dayton. I'd like to know what was up here in the late 60s and 70s. I know they had an underground newspaper..The RazzBerry Street Sheet..back then.<BR/><BR/>#####<BR/><BR/><BR/>To forevreglow, I plan on going to that show at Cornerstone, so y'all might see some snaps of the band either here or at UO.Jeffereyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294969786619943530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-62149415201898320212008-01-30T11:28:00.000-05:002008-01-30T11:28:00.000-05:00Very cool post, Jeff.

At first I thought that white house was his. He lives in a similar nondescript East Dayton house.Foreverglowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501132044674022107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-57213568658468989832008-01-30T09:16:00.000-05:002008-01-30T09:16:00.000-05:00Issues of the Dayton City Paper a couple of times ...Issues of the Dayton City Paper a couple of times in December and January had long, well-researched articles on the golden age of the Dayton music scene, approximately 1989 to 1999. Places like the defunct Newspace and stores like the torn-down Trader Vic's were absolutely where it was at. Open mic at the also now-torn-down Daily Grind coffeehouse were far cooler than Canal Street. It's fabulous to see a new generation taking up the torch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
