A New Option For Authentic Mexican Food

July 10, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

The Mexican restaurant located inside La Poblanita Mexican Market opened quietly a couple of months ago. With a menu chocked full of authentic Mexican dishes with the  specialty of the house being Tacos Al Pastor De Trompo, and Ceviche Tostadas. The menu is vast and starts with 5 appetizer selections, burritos, volcanes tacos, tortas, seafood, a section from the grill,  kids selections,  desserts and a full bar. It’s very reasonably priced with most entrees from $12 – 16 and portions that were quite large.  I ended up taking home half my burrito it was so big and filling.

Friday through Sunday they also offer a Caldo de Camaron, Menudo, Caldo de Res, Tamales and Pozole.

Sharing a few food pictures:

Culver’s Now Open in West Carrollton

July 7, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

Culver’s, a Wisconsin based chain, is known for cooking your food only after you order it. Whether it’s a burger, chicken sandwich, or fish dinner, it’s prepared fresh, not sitting under a heat lamp. Famous for its ButterBurgers, which are made with fresh, never frozen Midwest beef, seared to order and served on a lightly buttered, toasted bun.

Culver’s offers rich, creamy frozen custard made fresh in each restaurant throughout the day. It’s denser and smoother than ice cream, with flavors that rotate daily and include, caramel turtle, dark chocolate decadence, salted double caramel pecan, mint cookie and so many more.. You can get this frozen treat in a cone, waffle cone or dish.

Beside burger and custard, you’ll find hand-battered North Atlantic cod, crispy chicken and pot roast sandwiches, corn dogs, fried shrimp, hearty soups, salads, and sides and Wisconsin cheese curds—a fan favorite! There a variety of sides to compliment your meal, including fries, onion rings, pretzel bites, chilli, broccoli, coleslaw, loaded chili fries as well as mashed potatoes and gravy.

Today’s opening of the Culver’s in West Carrollton is the third location for the chain, joining the  Dayton location on Miller Lane, and the Troy eatery, on West Main Street.

“This is more than a restaurant opening — it’s a moment that marks real progress in the River District and what’s to come,” said West Carrollton Mayor Rick Barnhart. “We are excited to welcome Culver’s and celebrate this important milestone with the community. It’s a proud day for West Carrollton and a sign of the great momentum building throughout our city.”

The West Carrollton Culver’s is owned by Jim DiVerde and Chuck Martin, partners in the Illinois-based MD Restaurant Group. Claudio Zeledón Guzman is the owner/operator. Culver’s is known for its ButterBurgers and fresh frozen custard. This restaurant is the first business to open in theRiver District development, a $75 million project that includes retail, dining, entertainment, a hotel, and public recreation spaces.

The Root Beer Stande Celebrates 17th Anniversary

July 6, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

Emily Collins, the proprietor of The Root Beer Stande on Woodman, is celebrating her 17th anniversary of owning the business this Friday, July 11th.   In sharing her story about acquiring the business she she told us she graduated from Stivers School for the Arts, left Dayton to attend Ohio University, where she received a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree.  Upon graduation she returned to Dayton and struggled to find a job where she could use her degree. So she taught part time and worked in the food industry, as she had through high school and college.  Her dad, who ran Klosterman Bakery  came home one day told her the stand was for sale. Always wanting to own her own business, Emily decided she’d buy the place. So she went to the bank and says they looked at her like she was a crazy 24 year old, but suggested she put a business plan together.

Hank’s Burger

It took her almost a year working with the SBA and in 2008 she actually bought the business from Alex Fabrick. What she didn’t realize is that the business was in bad shape.  So she started making repairs as she could and marketing the Stande to attract new business.  She upgraded the menu, expanding from just hot doge fries and onion rings. She added Hank’s Hearty Burgers Made with Love, Hand-pattied 1/4 pound Angus burger including her favorite, the mushroom swiss burger.

She told us they currently sell about 800 hotdogs a week, with the Foot Long being their #1 seller, followed closely by The Dirty D- a Bacon wrapped, deep fried dog, smothered with chili, mustard, onions and cheese. They also have a pizza menu and added the Sno Shack a couple of years ago.

As part of the 17th anniversary celebration they will have footlongs buy one; get one for $1.17. Hanks burgers and dogs are $7.17.  Hank’s burgers will be the deal of the day today. Your choice of a hand crafted burger, fries, and a drink for $12.99. We suggest a frosty mug of Rootbeer.
They are cash only. They will be open 11-8ish or when the lot clears out.

 Emily invites everyone to come celebrate on July 11th, noting “we wouldn’t have made it this long without you!” She also credits her employees for helping her business succeed.  She says she still has many of the same ones she hired 17 years that were in their teens then and now are mother’s working part time.

Ben & Jerry’s 3 New Limited-Edition Flavors

July 5, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

Ben & Jerry's logo in front of a yellow burst with a halftone overlay on a black and white image of a wall of Ben & Jerry's ice cream pintsBen & Jerry’s kicked off National Ice Cream Month by introducing three brand-new ice cream flavors.

The new additions include a marshmallow-packed flavor with cookie pieces and fudge shavings, and two indulgent non-dairy options. The Vermont-based ice cream brand behind so many cult-favorite flavors, such as Cherry Garcia and Chunky Monkey, is constantly churning out bigger and bolder flavors that keep us coming back for more. And now, to kick off National Ice Cream Month, Ben & Jerry’s is releasing three new flavors—but you’ll only find them in its Scoop Shops.

A few weeks ago, Ben & Jerry’s dropped an all-new flavor, UltraViolet, featuring purple-hued vanilla ice cream, They describe this flavor as “vanilla ice cream, gooey marshmallow swirls, gluten-free chocolate cookies and fudge flakes.”

Now, it’s adding two more flavors to the shop-exclusive lineup: Non-Dairy Mochaccino Chip and Non-Dairy Strawberry Swirl.

The Mochaccino Chip has a non-dairy chocolate-coffee base swirled with caramel and studded with fudge flakes. It’s bold, creamy, and delivers a sweet hit of caffeine to help you beat the summer heat. Enjoy it in a cup, cone, or as a shake.

 

The Strawberry Swirl, on the other hand, is a celebration of summer’s favorite fruit. It features non-dairy strawberry ice cream with ribbons of strawberry swirl that can be taken up a notch in a Strawberry Swirl Sundae that gets drizzled with marshmallow sauce, strawberry cookie crumble, and whipped cream—all dairy-free.

Equine Facilitated Wellness Programs

June 16, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

Hoofprints mission is to transform lives through the unique relationship between horses and humans, fostering physical, emotional, and behavioral growth through equine assisted activities. Located in Miamisburg, offer programs for kids (8 years and up), teenagers, adults, couples, and families.

HoofPrints offers Equine Assisted Mental Wellness; this experiential learning goes beyond traditional ‘talk therapy.’  It gives support to traditional clinical counseling. Students will interact with the horses in their own environment around the farm. These non-riding activities allow true bonding between horses and humans. They understand that horses can unlock potential and give insight to ones self. Our Facilitators are Licensed Mental Health Professionals and hold several Equine Assisted Activities Certifications.

Thanks to a generous donor, they are lowering their program fees for the Summer of 2025! Rather than offering single scholarships, we decided to apply scholarship dollars to every family

Their Horsin’ Around program is for all kids ages 8+. The kids will be playing games with the horses and well, just Hangin’ Around with each other. It’s an excellent time to get them outside and get connected. It is also a perfect time to bring a friend who is curious about HoofPrints.

Horses Healing Humans will be facilitated by certified grief counselors from Life, Grief & Co. These grief specialists understand that each person uniquely experiences grief. We are offering two sessions: one for youth and one for adults. Regardless of where you are in your grief of a loved one, we hope that you will find some peace after sharing yourself with our horses.

Ashley’s Pastry Shop turns 43

June 12, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

40 Years in Business

Theresa and Greg Hammons

It really doesn’t seem possible that it’s been forty three years since they opened the doors of their bakery shop on Park Avenue in Oakwood.

Owner Theresa Hammons shares, “as some may know, a baker’s hours aren’t always the easiest, but we love what we do and we cherish being able to have a business that we love, and we are thankful to be able to take some time off each summer to spend uninterrupted time with those we love.”

We asked here what’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned over the years?

“I would be to surround yourself with a great team of employees, vendors, accountants, bankers, insurance agents- all the pieces of the pie that will make your business successful. Form a partnership with each of these individuals and consider them part of your TEAM. Also, engage in the community ,not only the community that your business is in but DAYTON as a whole. Dayton is truly a GEM city and see how you can make an impact in the lives of others.

We asked her what sweet treat she celebrates with?

“We will always have our sand tarts, but a slice of our  Fresh Strawberry Torte is a must have too!”

Finally we asked her to share advice  with entrepreneurs that want to open their own business:

Owning your own business and wearing the entrepreneur hat is a BIG one! A role that after 43 YEARS we still really LOVE. Work for others to develop your skill sets and learn from others, your way of thinking isn’t the ONLY way of thinking and by seeing how others operate you will be in a better position when you begin your own journey. Be prepared for adaptability and the unexpected . Keep in mind, we can not also control our situation but we can control how we handle and react to what we face.We are so fortunate that our passion has afforded us this great business. As one of our customers said… we are not a bakery but we bake memories layered in sugar, flour, sweetness and deliciousness  with  love and care for the ones that grace our doors. We are serving our 4th generation of customers and we are so PROUD of that honor we have been given. We have many customers that come in daily..we NEVER  take that for granted. Everyone has a choice and there are so many great choices in Dayton, we want to be sure they are happy with their experience and willing to share that with others.

Today through Saturday, when youvisit the store you can fill out a raffle ticket for a chance to win one of these prizes:
