Hard to believe it’s been 5 years since the Fire House at 936 Brown St, which was built 124 years ago when the fire engines were run by horse drawn carriages, was revamped into Jimmie’s Ladder 11. Dayton Fire Department memorabilia lines the walls of this beautiful dining area. Antique wood floors and walls throughout the building develops a warm, nostalgic feel. Time flies and Jimmie’s is inviting us all to celebrate with them all week long.

And Jimmie’s isn’t the only area business that debuted five years ago in November. Shane Anderson opened Ghostlight Coffee on Wayne Ave in South Park. This cozy gourmet coffee shop quickly became a pillar of the community, hosting art shows, poetry readings and so much more. They’ve added housebaked treats, bagels, holiday pies and supported many area events providing coffee to go. This coming Sunday they’ll colloborate with Jimmie’s for a very special celebration dinner.
