Springboro Community Theater Show Runs Through Sunday

By

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.

Grand Opening for Urbana Brewing Co

By

Under the leadership of three long-time Urbana residents, Jason Kile, Neal Pence, and Jamon Sellman, Urbana Brewing Co. hopes to build up a burgeoning nightlife in the small town, and ultimately attract beer lovers from across the Miami Valley.

Pence shows off his recently installed brewing system.

“I started with a two-gallon Mr. Beer kit, bought at a local drugstore,” Pence, the head brewer said, when describing his transition from hobbyist brewer to business partner. “Quickly I expanded there to five gallons system and most recently I was brewing on what’s known as a half-barrel system.”

At Urbana Brewing Co. his output will expand tenfold, but Pence said the basics remain the same. “You start with hot water, you mix in grain, you take the liquid off, you add in your flavors and hops and then you let the yeast do their magic,” he said. “Mankind has been doing it for as far back in history as we can really see.”

When the brewery gets up and running, Pence wants that process to be on full display, with his brewing system featured prominently on the main floor, along with a family-friendly set of games, while those looking for a quieter atmosphere can head upstairs to the furnished rooftop.

At the center of the experience though, Pence wants to make sure his beer shines.

“The bar ends up being your focal point for any good brewery,” he said.

An engineer, Pence said he came to Urbana about 20 years ago for his first job in his field, decades later, he’s proud to call the city his home.

“I’ve always been a small-town person at heart and I just love what Urbana has to offer,” he said.

The above was originally posted by Michelle Alfini of Spectrum News.

It’s grand opening weekend for the brewery, starting at noon Friday, Nov 18th.

Urbana Brewing Co will be operating under a self service model. You’ll order your beer and food at the bar, your beer will be poured then, you’ll be notified when your food is ready.

Crowlers and growlers will not be available during grand opening weekend, but look for them in the near future.

Ekoostik Hookah with special guests Subterranean

By

Two beloved, long-running Ohio psychedelic rock bands, Ekoostik Hookah and Subterranean, are back at The Brightside on Friday, November 18th. This much anticipated concert has become an annual tradition that local music fans look forward to.

This year, in particular, is special because the drummer for Subterranean recently underwent a life saving organ transplant. This is Rob’s first show back to the stage! Ekoostik Hookah’s lead guitarist has also had some recent health issues. The great news is that both bands are healthy – and can’t wait to get back to the stage doing what they love. It’s particularly special that they are performing here in Dayton for this comeback show.

“The Brightside is one of our favorite venues to play, and being able to bring Ekoostik Hookah in really makes for a special evening,” Subterranean’s guitarist Chris Coalt shared with us. “This is the 3rd annual year for this show and we plan on keeping the tradition going.”

To add to the fun, local food truck Phat & Rich will be on site selling food during the show.

Werksgiving rocks the Wednesday before Thanksgiving!

By

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is known as one of the biggest bar nights of the year. This year, The Brightside is hosting the biggest party of them all with the annual Werksgiving concert event, featuring The Werks! If you’re not familiar, they are a nationally touring rock band that formed in Dayton, and this is their yearly big hometown concert.

This year they are joined by Dizgo, an up-and-coming band from Bloomington, Indiana.  Both bands will take the Ballroom stage at The Brightside located at 905 E 3rd St in downtown Dayton on Wednesday, November 23rd. 

For those who get hungry during the show, the beloved food truck Phat & Rich will be on site serving up their famous Tex-Mex inspired dishes.

Doors open at 7:30pm. All ages are welcome. Pre-sale tickets are $20 – and available here: https://werkoutpresents.ticketspice.com/werksgiving2022. At door, the cost is $25.

About The Werks

From the hungry young quartet that emerged out of Dayton, OH in 2005 to the mature, road-tested group they are now, The Werks are returning to their roots to reconnect with their identity. With over a decade’s worth of The Werk Out Festivals to their name, five studio albums, and a passport stamped with sets at Electric Forest, Summer Camp, The Peach, High Sierra, The Hang Out, and more, The Werks are bringing their musical wisdom and experience into a new chapter.

The four-piece jam-funk meets livetronica act was proud to welcome back original bassist Chuckie Love to the band in 2021, joining fellow founders Rob Chafin (drums/vocals) and Chris Houser (guitar/vocals) who play alongside Dan Shaw (keyboards). With Love back in the group, The Werks have tapped into the communal spark that birthed the band almost two decades ago, emerging with a renewed sense of purpose. Simply put, they are more of The Werks than ever before.

As they transition into this next chapter, The Werks are reaffirming their focus on live performances. With this rededication to the road, the band will come armed with a new studio album, their first since 2017’s Magic. Fans can look forward to the long-awaited full-length Sonder LP, the arrival of which signifies yet another artistic awakening for The Werks. With their 20th anniversary on the horizon, The Werks’ commitment to one another, to their fans, and to their craft strengthens with each passing note.

About Dizgo

Dizgo is a three-piece electro-psychedelic-funk-rock band from Bloomington, IN. Since their formation in 2016, the band has built a strong following, packing rooms and building a name for themselves in the jam circuit. Known for their electrifying performances, the band reels in their audience with a unique blend of funky, electronic rock-shredding guitar, synth-driven grooves, and ethereal vocals.

$500,000 in improvements for Triangle Park

By

The City of Dayton announces the newest investment of Dayton Recovery Plan funds following the Nov. 16 City Commission approval of a $500,000-plus contract for improvements at historic Triangle Park.

A $577,118 contract for installation of new infrastructure and amenities as well as demolition of obsolete facilities at the 61.5-acre park was awarded to Double Jay Construction, LLC. The Triangle Park upgrades consist of:

  • Installation of two new park shelters;
  • Removal of nine obsolete shelters and one restroom building;
  • Installation of new modular restrooms;
  • Installation of fitness equipment, picnic tables and pathways.

The project is scheduled for completion in July of 2023. The City of Dayton Department of Public Works will oversee the contract, which has a minority business enterprise participation rate of 25.19 percent.

The planned enhancements continue the ongoing improvement of Triangle Park in north Dayton, one of the largest City of Dayton-owned parks. In 2015, the historic Howell Field baseball facility was rededicated following renovations supported by the Cincinnati Reds (Howell Field has been home to many of Dayton’s finest college, high school and amateur baseball for more than 55 years). In July of 2022, an all-new, four-acre dog park was opened for use at Triangle Park. The park was also the site of the first-ever NFL game, played by the Dayton Triangles and the Columbus Panhandles in 1920.

About the Dayton Recovery Plan

The Dayton Recovery Plan is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to address the infrastructure, economic and equity issues that exist in the city by using a data-driven approach to analyze socio-economic, health, and demographic data to make informed funding decisions. These investments directly impact minority communities disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and long-standing economic and social inequities in Dayton. The Dayton Recovery Plan is our city’s innovative plan to utilize our $138 million share of the American Rescue Plan Act funds, the largest grant in Dayton’s history. The Triangle Park project is another piece of the Dayton Recovery Plan’s $55 million Improving Our Neighborhoods component. For a plan overview, go to daytonohio.gov/drp.

“Stepping into The Pine Club is like stepping back in time,” says Pine Club General Manager Karen Watson. “We’re definitely not in the habit of changing things up that much over here, but 75 years is a big accomplishment and we thought it would be fun to offer up something special like this Golden Menu to our loyal guests.”

Popeyes New Blackened Chicken Sandwich

By

Popeyes has introduced a  new breading-free Blackened Chicken Sandwich.
Popeyes Launches New Blackened Chicken Sandwich Nationwide

The Blackened Chicken Sandwich features a juicy antibiotic-free, whole chicken breast marinated for 12 hours, cooked up to seal in the bold Cajun and Creole seasoning and then served fresh atop a warm, toasted buttery brioche bun with house classic or spicy mayo and crunchy barrel-cured pickles.

The new Popeyes Blackened Chicken Sandwich will run $4.99. Popeyes Rewards members will receive 200 bonus points – good for free regular fries on their next order – when ordering the sandwich on the Popeyes App or on Popeyes.com.

The Popeyes Culinary Team spent four years perfecting its version of the classic Blackening cooking technique, which originated in Louisiana and is used to better seal in seasoning and spices to flavor the meat, which then develops a subtle browned or blackened crust.

Popeyes is so confident its Blackened Chicken Sandwich can’t be surpassed by potential copycats, it launched a new campaign today sharing ingredients in the sandwich while inviting competitors and fans alike to make a version of their own and “Copy This.”

The Wienermobile Is Coming To Town

By

Launched in  1936, the world-famous WIENERMOBILE was created to  lift the country’s spirits during the great depression. It quickly became a national Icon, visiting cities all over the country.

In 1963 they debuted their jingle,”My bologna has a first name, it’s ‘O-S-C-A-R’ My bologna has a second name, It’s M-A-Y-E-R. Oh, I love to eat it every day,And if you ask me why I’ll say, Cause’ Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A!!!!”  (Admit it- you just sang that in your head).

It went on to become one of the longest-running TV commercials in the country.

 

On November 18 and 19, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile will make two stops in Montgomery County as part of its journey across the U.S.

While the Wienermobile is in town, guests can get a photo with the 27-foot-long hotdog-shaped vehicle, as well as a free ‘Wiener Whistle’.

You’ll find the iconic vehicle at  two local Walmarts :

  • Friday, Nov 18
    3360 Pentagon Blvd
    Beavercreek, Ohio 45431
    8:45 a.m. – 2 p.m.
  • Saturday, Nov 19
    7680 Brandt Pike
    Huber Heights, Ohio 45424
    8:45 a.m. – 12 p.m.

These stops are only a few in the hot dog shaped car’s trip across the us. According to a release, the Wienermobile visits a new state every week. You can even request the Wienermobile to make a special appearance, but you need to ask way in advance, up to 12 months.

You can also buy Wienermobile merchandise or if you’re really a big fan, why not apply for a job as a Hotdogger, the Wienermobile Spokesperson.
