May 2, 2023 By Dayton937

The Dayton Region’s Walk of Fame is installed in the sidewalks along West Third Street between Shannon and Broadway Streets in the historic Wright-Dunbar Business District. Each year a new class of inductees are selected from community nominations to be added to The Walk. Here are the inductees for 2023

● Tom Archdeacon – A reporter, columnist, and sports writer whose name in the region is often synonymous with great reporting on local teams and athletes, Archdeacon’s career spans more than five decades. He began his

moments meaning and connect with readers.

Broady was an early Ohio pioneer who survived several pro-slavery attacks and stayed to rebuild the community. She went on to help found the First Wesleyan Church, was a charter member and trustee of the United Daughters of Zion, and was a conductor on Dayton’s Underground Railroad.

● Dave Chapelle – A well-known actor and comedian, Chapelle has had a majorimpact on the region. In addition to hosting the Gem City Shine in 2019, a benefit concert following the mass shooting in the Oregon District, Chapelle also created an entirely new concept for social-distanced entertainment, which was much-needed during the height of the COVID pandemic. Over the course of several years, he hosted “Chapelle and Friends” and “Chapelle Summer Camp”, bringing live performances of nationally-known comedians to his Yellow Springs venue.

● Marvin Olinsky – Retired CEO of Five Rivers MetroParks, Olinsky’s vision and

leadership helped Five Rivers become the park system that it is today. His dream of creating a unique facility and program for urban youth ultimately

The inductees will be recognized at the annual Dayton Region Walk of Fame
