Hey - we ain't got no jobs, and our neighborhoods are up to their eyeballs in arson and foreclosures, but we *do* have half-nekkid women jousting about in vats of lukewarm vegetables!
And for that, my fellow Daytonians, our lives are all the richer.
Dayton . . . City of Gems . . .
I love you so . . .
more than you will ever know!

SPECIAL NOTE TO GUIDED BY VOICES FANS: The Flamingo Show Club is located just one block north of the Dixie drive-in theater, featured in the excellent GBV documentary "Watch Me Jumpstart," and also pictured briefly in the equally excellent video for the song "The Official Ironmen Rally Song":

Both the club and the drive-in are within walking, or crawling, distance of Titus avenue, the location of the legendary "Monument Club," and the former home of Robert "Vampire on Titus" Pollard.
