Dayton Ohio

From 105 years ago, give or take a few months.


That's here, so blocks from the river.


That building is still there. 


Even have the same style street lights.

  1. My hometown, Hamilton, was also devastated by this flood. My aunt used to show me where the flood waters marked the wall in their houses (up to the second floor), and the house was over a mile from the river.

    You can find tons of pics on Google about the 1913 flood. The low level damns that were built because of the flood are falling in to disrepair. Dayton is removing one of it's damns so that the river looks more "natural". Some day the towns down river could pay a heavy price for this.

I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
