Belle of Dayton’s First Bourbon Released

April 30, 2023 By Dayton937

Update: sold out in 6 minutes!

May 1st is the first day that Detrick Full Proof Single Barrel Bourbon will be available. Bottles go on sale ONLINE ONLY today for $97.95. Pickup will be at Belle of Dayton Distillery at 122 Van Buren Street
Dayton.

According to Mike LaSelle, co-owner of Belle of Dayton Distillery “Detrick Fine Whiskies Single Barrel Bourbon reflects the patience, hard-work, and craftsmanship which are hallmarks of the Belle of Dayton Distillery and a true testament to the forward-thinking innovation our company has practiced since distilling our first artisanal spirits nearly 10 years ago.The decision to mature our spirits in 53 gallon barrels and hold back from releasing our bourbon to offer consumers a six year old single barrel nearly a decade after distilling is a true commitment to our craft.”

Here’s info on the new bourbon:

Detrick Full Proof Single Barrel Bourbon

Distilled from Corn, Oats, Rye, Wheat, & Malted Barle

Pre-prohibition, Detrick Distilling Co. sold double copper-distilled whiskey in Dayton under Registered Distillery No. 60, 10th Ward. Their founder, Frank Detrick’s motto: “While we live, let’s live.” Inspired by the ambition of this long-ago spirit, the LaSelle Brothers ventured to create a bourbon whiskey—genuine and unique.

Drawing naturally filtered water from the area’s Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer, they distilled a rare 5-grain mash bill of corn, oats, rye, wheat, and malted barley. The intricate flavor and full-bodied texture was preserved by slow pot distillation and then aged in a hand-toasted, 53-gallon white oak cask. Each bottle drawn from a single barrel, Detrick Straight Bourbon Whiskey offers an elegant sipping experience. Nearly a decade in the making and relieving a century of anticipation, Belle of Dayton Distillery proudly brings back Detrick Fine Whiskies, the first Bourbon made in Dayton since Prohibition.

McGuffey Lane – LIVE!

April 30, 2023 By Dayton937

McGuffey Lane, a country rock band from the Athens and Columbus areas, played throughout the late 70s and 80s at many local bars and festivals in Ohio. The group scored several minor hits on the country charts and toured with several nationally known bands. Their album, Aqua Dream, featured the single “Start It All Over”, which spent three weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 97 in February 1982. Combined sales of McGuffey Lane’s four albums on Atlantic Records total nearly 300,000 units and record sales continue to increase. The release of the Greatest Hits CD featuring the hit single “Long Time Lovin’ You” earned the band a six-week stint as number one on the charts and a much-deserved regional gold record. Over the years McGuffey Lane has worked with such artists as The Allman Brothers Band, The Judds, The Atlanta Rhythm Section, Exile, Marshall Tucker Band, and most recently with Charlie Daniels and Pure Prairie League. They were grateful to open for Merle Haggard on his final tour.

McGuffey Lane continues to compose new favorites adding original songs to their already beloved list of tunes such as “People Like You”, “Stagecoach”, “Green Country Mountains”, “Music Man”, “Ain’t No One To Love You Like I Do”, and much more. Molly Pauken, When Randy Huff, and Kevin Reed joined original members, John Schwab, Terry Efaw and Steve Reis during the 90s, a whole new generation was added to their loyal list of fans. Their polished harmonies and innovative talent continue to wow their audiences. From their high energy music to beautiful ballads, this band has something for everyone and all, who are fortunate enough to see their show, walk away with feeling truly entertained.

Dayton Arcade Secures $41 Million To Fund Next Step

April 28, 2023 By Dayton937

Dayton Arcade’s giant is one step closer to being fully awoken once more.

The development team behind the historic Dayton Arcade has secured the necessary funding for the $41M renovation of the North Arcade’s Third Street Arcade and Gibbons Annex, the final two buildings in the Arcade’s nine-building complex.

The Arcade’s Third Street and Gibbons Annex Buildings were built in 1902 as part of the original Arcade development. The historic Third Street Building façade, designed by Frank Mills Andrews in the Flemish guildhall style, is one of the most recognizable buildings in the city of Dayton. Retail was shuttered in 1990 with the rest of the development.

Long seen as the last piece of the Dayton Arcade puzzle, completion of this second phase will allow the Arcade to serve as the retail hub and pedestrian connector in the center of downtown Dayton once again. The upper floors will be home to a 94-room Hilton Garden Inn with a lobby entrance from Third Street.

Danny Nagar of Century Hotel Group says “It has been a privilege to partner with Mira Development Company, Model Group, and Cross Street Partners in the redevelopment of the NorthArcade. By adding hotel rooms to the Arcade complex, we hope to invite locals and tourists to experience the strong food and entertainment scene that continues to grow here. This felt like a great opportunity to preserve and revitalize an iconic area and remove some of the roadblocks that have previously reduced travel to Downtown Dayton. We’re honored to be involved in this project and look forward to the impact that this will have on the local community and the guests that we’re eager to host.”

The first floor of the Third Street Building will house the Arcade’s retail marketplace, with 7,500 sf of small business retail space. Under the North Arcade’s iconic skylight will be small spaces for around 15 local and unique retail opportunities.

“We are very excited about this phase of the project, but it would not have happened without the unwavering commitment of the hotel team of Century Hotel Group and Mira Development,” says Dave Williams, Vice President of Development for Cross Street Partners.

“These projects don’t happen without strong leadership and support and that has continued from both the City, County, CityWide Development, and the Port Authority. The State and Federal Historic and New Market tax credits along with the Ohio Department of Development grant programs were critical sources in completing the North Arcade’s capital stack. It is a great finish to an amazing project and will be catalytic for the Main Street corridor, as well as providing much needed support for the Convention Center.”

The Arcade is a vital component for the reactivation of Courthouse Square and the revitalization of downtown Dayton’s central business district. Construction on the North Arcade has already commenced with anticipated completion of late Q2/Q3 2024.

Blues-Based Hard Rockers Tesla Coming To Fraze

April 28, 2023 By Dayton937

Fraze Pavilion has just announced that TESLA with special guest Steelheart will be performing on Tues, August 1st at 8pm.

That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise. That’s just how they are built. TESLA may have been born in the mid 80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. The same roots that produced bands like The Allman Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Aerosmith.

The ground started shaking in Sacramento, CA, in 1984; gold country that would soon be producing some platinum. They started out as City Kidd, until a suggested name change to TESLA, honoring the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla who pioneered all things electrical. Their 1986 platinum debut album, Mechanical Resonance, included Top 40 hits “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi.” 1989’s double-platinum The Great Radio Controversy included hits “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “Love Song.” Suddenly, TESLA, who had been touring with bands such as Def Leppard and David Lee Roth, earned headlining status. In 1990, TESLA helped reshape the face of modern rock music by stripping down to the Five Man Acoustical Jam, an informal collection of their biggest hits peppered with rock and roll classics by the Beatles, Stones, and others. This album produced their biggest hit single to date, a cover of Five Man Electrical Band’s “Signs.” Other 90s albums from Tesla include platinum selling Psychotic Supper and Bust a Nut. The band continues to record and release material including 9 new albums since 2000 and recently debuted their new single, “Time To Rock!”

SteelHeart’s self titled debut album SteelHeart was released in 1990, bringing them almost immediate commercial success, with critics comparing their forceful hard rock sound to Led Zeppelin’s. Since then, Miljenko and band-mates have showcased their broad influences and the raw strength of his vocals; their sound drawing comparisons to hard rock and pop metal greats like Ratt and Whitesnake.

Chipotle To Give Away 2000 Burrito Care Packages

April 27, 2023 By Dayton937

Chipotle announced today it will recognize the healthcare community by awarding 2,000 healthcare workers with ‘Burrito Care Packages’ featuring 50 entrée codes for their team, equivalent to over $1 million in free food. Over the past several years, the brand has given away more than $4 million in free Chipotle to medical professionals.

Starting today, healthcare workers can sign up for a chance to win a ‘Burrito Care Package’ to feed a group of 50 at chipotle.com/healthcare-heroes.*

Submissions will close on the final day of Nurses Week, Friday, May 12. Chipotle will begin to reach out to the winners directly by May 19.

“Given the demands placed on the healthcare community every day, we know finding time to bond, celebrate, or even eat as a team can be challenging,” said Chris Brandt, Chief Marketing Officer. “The Burrito Care Packages offer a convenient opportunity for healthcare units to come together and share a delicious meal on us.”

Round Up for Healthcare Heroes
To support its 2023 campaign, Chipotle is featuring the American Nurses Foundation in its real change platform on the Chipotle app and Chipotle.com. The American Nurses Foundation is the charitable and philanthropic arm of the American Nurses Association (ANA), with the mission to transform the nation’s health through the power of nursing. The Foundation supports research, education, and scholarships, which improve health, wellness, and patient care.

Through the end of Nurses Week, guests can round-up their change to the next highest dollar amount on the app or website to help provide support for nurses across the U.S.
