Montgomery County ArriveSafe Offers Free Rides for Thanksgiving Weekend

November 25, 2025 By Dayton937

The ArriveSafe program will be available from 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 26, to 6 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 30. Anyone can click here to get a free $20 Uber ride home.

.

Montgomery County Prosecuting Attorney Mat Heck, Jr. stressed the importance of the program and encouraged people not to drink and drive.

“If alcohol is going to be included with your meal, all I ask is that you drink responsibly. Do not drink and drive. Over one-third of traffic deaths in Ohio involve alcohol-impaired drivers,” said Heck. “The good news is that the number of alcohol-related traffic crashes has dropped for three years in a row. I’m going to ask the public to continue that tradition.”

Heck said it’s easier than ever not to drink and drive by using the free ride program.

“In 2007, we started a program and have given over 23,000 free cab rides home, keeping our streets safe. But more importantly, keeping our citizens safe and alive so they can enjoy the holidays and their families and loved ones,” said Heck.

He said in 2024 alone, the county gave 2,000 rides home. Heck said the free program doesn’t cost taxpayers anything. “It’s not costing the public one cent, that’s the other great thing about it. We pay for this with the support of Budweiser, Heidelberg Distributing and money that we seized from drug dealers,” said Heck. “It’s a win-win for everybody.”

Wayne and Clover Coffee to keep the ‘Light’ on for Dayton!

November 24, 2025 By Dayton937

Press. Wholly Grounds. MidDay. Dayton has some amazing coffee shops. Among them has been the beloved ‘Ghostlight’ in South Park Historic District. Facing challenges, the owner faced a tough decision: how to move on. With that, 2 of Ghostlight’s biggest fans, Tim Farquhar and Joshua Stucky heard the news and immediately reacted! ‘No way are we letting this place go. It is a Dayton Landmark. We have to find a way to keep the ‘light’ on.’  Within less than 2 weeks, a deal was struck to save the iconic shop. ‘We are thrilled…and a bit overwhelmed!’ says Farquhar.

‘It happened so fast, we are definitely playing catch-up to all things. We are looking for bakers, retail opportunities, graphic artists and events for the space. All the while, we are keeping the world’s best coffee shop team intact and operating as best we can! People have been so incredibly supportive of this!’ Says Stucky. ‘We have found a fantastic partner in ContempoRoast Coffee & Roastery. We had a cupping class with them, and it was an instant connection. They understand our desire to make ‘coffee integrity’ the number one factor in partnering! They are simply amazing people!’

Ghostlight is well-known for its diverse customer base, and the new owners love it! ‘Oh my goodness. In our first week, it was so cool to meet so many people from so many walks of life. They are definitely a family here…it’s apparent!’ The new owners are taking over the entire first floor of the building in hopes of creating more space for small meetings, acoustic music, events, and more. ‘The potential here is limitless,’ says Farquhar.

So what’s with the new name ‘Wayne and Clover’ you ask? ‘Funny story. I was having coffee with my husband the day we found out we were getting this opportunity. I went through every name I could. I remember learning in business ‘if you can incorporate your address, it’s a good idea.’ I sat up and said, ‘Wait….Wayne and Clover! WAYNE and CLOVER! Think about it…they are people! Wayne and Clover are people, and they have a coffee shop! AND that’s the corner where we are located! SHAZAM! It immediately stuck. Wayne and Clover Coffee Shop. (The shop is located at 1201 Wayne Avenue.) And from there, the story grew to include the street behind us, which is Theobald…you guessed it, THEIR DOG! I think he is likely to be the mascot for all things Wayne and Clover!’

Part of the community piece will be inviting local artists to give ideas for the look of W & C’s logo and artwork that follows the story of the neighborhood and the future!

The building is also important to South Park. It has become a gathering spot for the area. ‘We want to respect the fact that this is more than a coffee shop. For South Park, it is a home away from home. We will do our level best to keep the ‘Light’ in the store so it’s familiar and fun!’ The coffee shop is supporting Miami Valley Meals this holiday season. 

Wayne and Clover Coffee Shop is located at 1201 Wayne Ave. Dayton, OH 45410.
Hours: M-Th 7-2 | Fri 7-4 | Sat + Sun 8-4

Jubie’s Creamery Makes the Best Flavor in North America

November 22, 2025 By Dayton937

Jubie’s Creamery took their ice cream to Palm Beach, FL earilier this month to compete against some of the best ice cream shops in the country at the Annual Ice Cream Association Conecon.

As all  1000 ice cream attendees voted
Jubies’s attendees at the convention Jubie’s Hot Honeycomb sweeped with Best of the Midwest and Best Flavor overall!  This is the highest award given at Conecon. This means they literally have the BEST FLAVOR IN NORTH AMERICA!  They didn’t do it on their own, so they want to thank Tasty Bacon Food Truck and Winans Chocolate  for offering incredible, local products featured in Hot Honeycomb.

At the same Convention, they also submitted their Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry ice creams for the chance to become a Grand Master Ice Cream Maker
Over the last 3 years, they’ve been working towards this award and submitting our Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry flavors as a part of the Ice Cream Clinic program.
Each year, we ship these 3 classic flavors to Cornell University to get science tested according to FDA standards to ensure food safe manufacturing practices on the molecular level. These flavors are then tasted by the University’s renowned Dairy Extension Team and scored according to ice cream industry standards such as flavor, texture, structure, color, melting point, etc.
At the beginning of every convention, they learn about how their flavors tested and scored. Depending on the score, you can earn a white, red, or blue ribbon of excellence. Any company that receives 3 blue ribbons in a 5 year time span is rewarded for their excellence and consistency in their products and overall manufacturing practices.

This year was their 3rd year of winning the coveted blue ribbon (with 4 total blue ribbons under their belt) meaning they are now officially Grand Master Ice Cream Makers along with 8 other well-deserving shops in North America! Who knew all the reasons you love Jubie’s so much was backed by all this science?!

This compelling, symbolic art exhibit will be held at the Downtown Dayton Metro Library in their beautiful Atrium, from November 21-25, 2025.

The public ceremony will commence on November 22, 2025 at 2pm, and will include the reading of our proclamation from the City of Dayton by Neenah Ellis, a reading of the Poem “These Shoes” and a tribute played by cellist Tara Mar.
“25 Red Shoes” was originally launched in 2009 by international artist Elina Chauvet’s influential art installation “Zapatos Rojos”, to bring awareness and protest Domestic Violence after her own sister died in an act of violence inflicted by her husband. It has since become a global event, with installations in international cities worldwide.

Globally, 140 women and girls are killed by a family member or intimate partner every day. 17% of those murders take place in the United States. 29% of women in the US have reported a form of violence.

This event is free and open to all. Resources will be available on-site about supporting survivors of domestic violence.
