NOMADLAND Opens & MINARI Holds at The Neon

February 16, 2021 By Jonathan McNeal

We had a very good weekend at THE NEON. Audiences loved MINARI, and seeing the Spike Lee films on the big screen was a treat. MINARI is going to hold for a second week, but Thursday will be your last chance to catch two of the Spike Lee classics. On Thursday night (we just got permission to add a Thursday screening), we will open another Best Picture contender – NOMADLAND – starring the incredible and much-loved Frances McDormand (this will be the 11th film we’ve played with McDormand since I’ve been with THE NEON).

In our Virtual Cinema, we have 2 new films. RUTH: JUSTICE GINSBURG IN HER OWN WORDS is the new, powerful doc about Ruth Bader Ginsburg (not to be confused with RBG from a couple years ago), and Spike Lee was executive producer on SON OF THE SOUTH – a film that’s based on a true story about a young man turning away from his family’s roots in the KKK.
NEW IN-PERSON ENGAGEMENT:
Synopsis for NOMADLAND: Winner of numerous awards, we’re excited to bring the gorgeous film NOMADLAND to the big screen! “Following the economic collapse of a company town in rural Nevada, Fern (Frances McDormand) packs her van and sets off on the road exploring a life outside of conventional society as a modern-day nomad. The third feature film from director Chloé Zhao, NOMADLAND features real nomads Linda May, Swankie and Bob Wells as Fern’s mentors and comrades in her exploration through the vast landscape of the American West.”(Searchlight) Click the image below to watch the film’s trailer.
NEW IN OUR VIRTUAL CINEMA:
Synopsis for RUTH: JUSTICE GINSBURG IN HER OWN WORDS: Available starting Feb. 19! “How does a person with three strikes against her rise to the highest court in the land, the U.S. Supreme Court? The film tells the improbable story of how Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who couldn’t get a job despite graduating first in her law school class in a tie and making Law Review at Harvard and Columbia Law Schools, became an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. It also reveals both the public and private sides of a resilient, resourceful woman who has survived the hostility of the profoundly male universe of government and law to become a revered Justice and icon for gender equality and women’s rights.” (Virgil Films) This film can be viewed on your computer or mobile device. You can also watch via your TV (when you download the Kino Now app on Apple TV, Roku, or Amazon TV/Stick). Additional instructions can be found on the film’s landing page…just click the picture below to watch the trailer and reserve access to the film for $12.
Synopsis for SON OF THE SOUTH: Available starting Feb. 19! From executive producer Spike Lee. “A grandson of a Klansman comes of age during the early 60’s in the deep south and eventually joins the Civil Rights Movement. Based on Bob Zellner’s autobiography THE WRONG SIDE OF MURDER CREEK.” (Vertical Entertainment) This film is available to watch on your computer or mobile device as well as via your smart TV via Chromecast. Click the image below to watch the trailer and reserve 48 hour access to the film for $7.
CONTINUING IN OUR VIRTUAL CINEMA:
Synopsis for TWO OF US: This is France’s official submission for this year’s Best International Feature.”Two retired women, Nina and Madeleine, have been secretly in love for decades. Everybody, including Madeleine’s family, thinks they are simply neighbors, sharing the top floor of their building. They come and go between their two apartments, enjoying the affection and pleasures of daily life together, until an unforeseen event turns their relationship upside down and leads Madeleine’s daughter to gradually unravel the truth about them.” VIRTUAL BONUS!! Stick around after the film – we’re VERY excited to present an exclusive discussion between writer/director Filippo Meneghetti, star Barbara Sukowa, and international film icon Isabelle Huppert! This film can be viewed on your computer or mobile device or via your TV with Apple TV or Roku. Additional instructions can be found on Eventive’s HELP PAGE. Click the image below to gain 72 hour access to the film for $12.
Synopsis for A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX: Direct from last week’s Sundance Film Festival!! “What if we are living in a simulation, and the world as we know it is not real? To tackle this mind-bending idea, acclaimed filmmaker Rodney Ascher (ROOM 237, THE NIGHTMARE) uses a noted speech from Philip K. Dick to dive down the rabbit hole of science, philosophy, and conspiracy theory. Leaving no stone unturned in exploring the unprovable, the film uses contemporary cultural touchstones like THE MATRIX, interviews with real people shrouded in digital avatars, and a wide array of voices, expert and amateur alike. If simulation theory is not science fiction but fact, and life is a video game being played by some unknowable entity, then who are we, really? A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX attempts to find out.” VIRTUAL BONUS!! Stick around after the film for an exclusive discussion between director Rodney Ascher and critic Joshua Rothkopf, digging deep into simulation theory, filmmaking, and everything in between. This film can be viewed on your computer or mobile device or via your TV with Apple TV or Roku. Additional instructions can be found on Eventive’s HELP PAGE. Click the image below to watch the trailer and gain 72 hour access to the film for $12.
To read more about all the films that are still available in our Virtual Cinema, please visit our WEBSITE. Several critically acclaimed films (including some Oscar short-listed films) and audience favorites are still available! Here’s a LINK with a video I made about how Virtual Cinema works.
Would you like to know what titles we have planned for our virtual cinema? (Click any title to watch that film’s trailer.) On Feb. 26, we’ll open both FALLING (Viggo Morensen’s directorial debut) and LEONA (a story of forbidden love in a Mexican Jewish community). On March 5, we’ll bring a film that I know many design folks will adore – GUSTAV STICKLEY: AMERICAN CRAFTSMAN. And after many delays, we’ll also finally be able to open THE PEOPLE VS. AGENT ORANGE. On March 12, we’ll have THE DAYS OF BANGOLD SUMMER, (a sweet and funny British coming-of-age story) and on March 26, we’ll have SUPER FRENCHIE for all the outdoor sports enthusiasts. More titles are on the way…stay tuned!

Dragons/Reds Confirm Player Development Agreement

February 15, 2021 By Dayton Most Metro

The Dayton Dragons and Cincinnati Reds today jointly executed a new Major League Baseball Player Development License agreement, cementing their player development relationship for the next 10 years.  Additionally, the Reds and Dragons announced the Dragons coaching staff for the 2021 season.

On December 9, 2020, the Reds formally invited the Dragons to operate as a Minor League franchise within the Cincinnati Reds organization as part of the new alignment constructed by Major League Baseball.  The Dragons will now operate as the Reds Class A-Advanced (“High A”) club.  The Dayton franchise previously played as the Class A (“Low A”) affiliate in its first 20 years of operations.

“The Dayton Dragons organization is thrilled to continue to partner with the Cincinnati Reds,” noted Dragons team president, Robert Murphy. “We are very proud of what has been a great relationship with Reds ownership and their Baseball Operations staff.  More than 100 Dragons players have played in the Major Leagues including Reds generational favorites like Joey Votto, Adam Dunn, Jay Bruce, Todd Frazier, and Johnny Cueto, and many of today’s Reds players like Jesse Winker, Nick Senzel, Amir Garrett, and Tucker Barnhart.  The opportunity to move up to the High A level will be an exciting change for our fans.”

“We couldn’t be happier to have the opportunity to continue our relationship with Dayton,” said Reds Vice President, General Manager Nick Krall. “It is well known within the game that the Dragons’ front office provides some of the best experiences in baseball for not only our players, but for visiting players and their Southwest Ohio fan base. For more than 20 years, they have been an important part in the development of Reds Major Leaguers, both on the field and in our communities.”

“We are excited to unveil this new model, which not only provides a pipeline to the Majors, but continues the Minor Leagues’ tradition of entertaining millions of families in hundreds of communities,” said MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred Jr.  “In modernizing our Minor League system, we prioritized the qualities that make the Minor Leagues such an integral part of our game while strengthening how we develop professional athletes on and off the field.

Vandalism & Destruction Closes Chicken Head’s

February 14, 2021 By Lisa Grigsby

Store front of The Chicken Spot

In the early hours of Valentines Day 2021, Chicken Head’s, restaurant which is more than symbolically located in the “heart” of the NorthWest Shopping center, suffered damage  (vandalism) to critical equipment forcing the immediately closure of the restaurant.

Owner Anthony Head shared this post on facebook:

“While our streak of making every payroll will remain intact, we will not be able to resume operations open until we replace it and ultimately relocate.

What started out as a “love letter” to our city has become, in just two short years, a destination fried chicken spot in Northwest Dayton.  As one of the few black owned restaurants in the area, we  were just beginning to hit our stride.  Our community collaborations were treating our legion of local fans to creative takes on classics as well as supporting many other small business vendors.  We continued to win fans as recently as last night (2/13/21) while others have sung our praises and given us fuel to keep firing up the peanut oiled filled pressure cooker everyday.

After besting every challenge presented to our operation during these pandemic times, we fell victim to the “only ship that won’t sail.”  While all legal remedies will be pursued, our community goes without what has become a gem in the resurgent west side of Dayton and our employees without work (for the time being).

While our story has been temporarily “paused” we are reaching out to those who have supported us in the past to reopen better, get working folks back to work, and continue to build the next great chicken spot.   The unique flavor profile and experience of our crispy, juicy chicken  relied most on a pressure fryer that retails new for 12,842.50 :(.  We will more than likely be relocating and purchasing new cooling and cooking equipment and had been in talks to start a food truck (sooner than later 🙂

Regardless of the outcome of this campaign, we are so very grateful to have served Dayton some of the “best damned chicken” and plan on doing more in the very near future!”

How to Find Girl Scout Cookies Near You!

February 13, 2021 By Dayton Most Metro

Miami Valley Girl Scouts will begin selling cookies at booths in their neighborhoods this weekend. With the safety of girls and families the highest priority, you’ll see many precautions like masks, sanitizer, and contactless credit card payment options, as well as new formats like drive-through booths!

The pandemic has limited the number of places Girl Scouts can be in public this year, so Girl Scouts of Western Ohio is making it easy for the public to find and share the joy of Girl Scout Cookies.

Visit gswo.org/findcookies to find a cookie booth near you, or to select a local troop to deliver cookies to your door. If you want to share the joy, there also are options for shipping or donating cookies.

Beginning Friday, February 19, you can even order Girl Scout Cookies for pickup or delivery on Grubhub.com or the Grubhub app! This option will be available for customers within a limited range of the council’s Dayton service center, during select hours.

Girl Scouts will sell cookies only through Sunday, March 14, so don’t delay in picking out your favorite treats!

When you buy Girl Scout Cookies, you support Girl Scouts and you power amazing experiences and life-changing opportunities for girls year-round—from awesome trips to community projects to outdoor adventures. You can read many of their plans on the council’s online Cookie Connection map.

Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls learn to think like entrepreneurs and learn to take the lead as they gain five essential skills throughout the program: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. In fact, many Girl Scout alums who are business leaders frequently credit the Girl Scout Cookie Program for giving them a head start in the corporate world!

February 11, 2021 By Lisa Grigsby

Laissez les Bon Temps Rouler!
Covid-19 shut down Mardi Gras parades & celebrations in New Orleans – but the city didn’t want to give up the traditional celebration, so the city created Yardi Gras & House Floats!

You’re encouraged to drive by the house at 1326 Ruskin Rd in Dayton and enjoy the view and and find a little bit of New Orleans culture for Mardi Gras.

Grist Grand Opening This Friday

February 10, 2021 By Lisa Grigsby

Opening this Friday, at the corner of 5th and Ludlow, Grist Provisions will bring back hand-made pasta, breads and specialty provisions to Dayton.

Casey Van Voorhis and her husband Patrick originally opened at the District Provisions space on Wayne Ave, but they were outgrowing their space, their lease was ending and then Covid-19 happened.  During the pandemic they had a chance to really evaluate what they wanted in their new space and Casey shared with us that her dream was to be on a corner with great big windows where people could watch their pasta and bread creation.  And it just so happened that the ideal space was available.

Photo courtesy Natalie Vella Skilliter.

So after many month of remodeling the former Third Perk location, building a kitchen with a three door oven for baking breads, and lots of prep space, Grist will open it’s doors to the public this Friday, February 12th with a ribbon cutting at 10am.  Filling the display cases will be up to 15 types of pasta, including papparedelle, tagliatelle, raviolli and tajarin, 7 different sauces and freshly baked breads like focaccia, ciabatta, baguettes and sour dough loaves.

You’ll be able to dine in for a sandwich, salad or dessert or pick up a grab and go meal – pasta, sauce and bread for two for about $25. You can even order online for easy pick up.  You’ll find a wall filled with specialty treats, like their  house pickled veggies, amazing condiments and more.  There’s even a wine nook in the new space (liquor license is pending- the state is backlogged and predicts it may take a couple of months to be issued) that will be perfect for food and wine pairings.

They’ll be hosting their  third Cooking Together collaboration with The Ronald McDonald House Chairities of  Dayton on March 20th , where they  guide you through cooking a three course meal. They provide a majority of the ingredients and the recipe packet for you to follow along. .

Also on the future agenda- cooking classes.  Casey explains that providing education and knowledge about cooking is a part of their mission.  Casey and Patrick met years ago at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. They started dating just before their 8 month externships where they flew to opposite ends of the country, Patrick at the Greenbrier in West Virginia, Casey at Bouchon in Yountville, California. They were fortunate to move up the ranks at Michelin starred restaurants like Quince and Acquerello as well as at Jane Bakery. Several years later they had the opportunity to be co-executive chefs together at Spoonbar restaurant in Healdsburg, California, focusing on hand-made pasta and refined but relatable cuisine.

Deciding where to go next, they explored Asheville, NC and other cities, checking  websites to see what was available.  Casey said when they saw how much Dayton had to offer, compared the affordability and the support for the entrepreneurs, it just made sense to make Dayton home.  Growing up in Greenville and being near family was another important factor.  Her mom was working the counter, they are using eggs from the family farm and Casey’s sister helped with the new shop, even painting the mural on the wall.

So they’re back, with the intent to provide provisions for the down to earth home cooks and to give them the tools they need; to be a grist for the mill.

Dayton’s First Donut Fest

February 10, 2021 By Lisa Grigsby

Planned2Give, a local event planning business that hosts fundraising events for nonprofits in the Miami Valley, has really struggled, as the pandemic has truly shut down most of their events. But they’ve decided to launch a new event, that can be successfully executed during the pandemic.
Dayton Donut Festival on Tour! is a self-guided tour of the Miami Valley’s  locally owned donut shops, which kicks off this Friday, Feb 12th and runs through Sunday, Feb 21st.   Purchase a coupon booklet for just $25 and you’ll get a coupon that can be redeemed for 3 donuts at each of the 10 stops on the tour, during each shops regular hours (a couple are even open 24 hous), which are noted in the booklet.  According to P2G co-founder Jeff Jackson, “it feels good to create an event that will draw traffic to these small independent shops at a time when business is slower due to the pandemic.”
Participating donut shops include:
  • Ashley’s Pastry Shop – Oakwood
  • Bear Creek Donuts – Miamisburg
  • Bill’s Donut Shop – Centerville
  • Donut Haus – Springboro
  • Donut Palace – Huber Heights & Trotwood
  • Duck Donuts – Dayton
  • Evans Bakery –  Old North Dayton
  • Jim’s Donut Shop – Vandalia
  • Neighborhood Nest- Fairborn
  • Stan The Donut Man- Kettering
Ticket sales benefit Miami Valley Meals, who serve those who are affected by food insecurity, by providing bulk nutritious chef-prepared meals to organizations that feed the hungry. In March of 2020 Miami Valley Meals began work to support a project addressing pandemic needs. Co-founded by Chef Matt DeAngulo, Bill Evans and Amanda DeLotelle, the mission was to employ pandemic furloughed culinary professionals to quickly and efficiently bulk prepare frozen meals from recovered food for distribution through organizations that feed the hungry.  By “serving those who serve the hungry,” we hope to support efforts of existing operations through food, freeing up their resources to focus on their missions and outreach.  This community organization is making such a huge difference in our community, currently serving over 5000 meals each week.
