This would place the restaurant about 50 feet south of the current monument location. Would you have any suggestions on how to find such a photo?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-89471280554502960632008-08-26T07:54:00.000-04:002008-08-26T07:54:00.000-04:00You must know more about Dayton than God.

As far as 20th century US train stations go, it was quite humdrum. Dayton was on the Amtrak service grid for five or so years. I don't remember when it was demolished, only that it is no longer where I picture it as having once stood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-83302473453528093852008-08-25T14:05:00.000-04:002008-08-25T14:05:00.000-04:00You can still see the original Pvt Fair statue at ...You can still see the original Pvt Fair statue at the entrance of the VA Hospital.<BR/><BR/>A little history trivia: it had rained the night before the unveiling of the original monument, causing the shroud to plaster itself on the column. When the time came to unveil Pvt Fair, the undraping never happened. It took a flag pole climber to straddle the monument to the top(with the approving roar of the crowd) to make the official dedication happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-9786999580355612562008-08-24T21:49:00.000-04:002008-08-24T21:49:00.000-04:00It will be interesting to see if CareSource employ...It will be interesting to see if CareSource employees utilize the island to cross Main Street, or if they will cross at the corner. Also, the previous Pvt. Fair monument site is to be the future home of the four monuments on the current Edwin C. Moses bridge, which is to be replaced.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
