Old North Dayton

Recovery Plan To Create New Housing in Old North Dayton

May 9, 2024 By Dayton937

With support by the Dayton Recovery Plan, 16 new owner-occupied, single-family
homes are slated for a one-acre site known as The Point in Old North Dayton.
The market-rate, two-story homes are planned for the northeast corner of the
intersection of Keowee and Valley Streets (near the north end of the Tony Stein
Memorial Bridge). The homes will be in groups of four in four buildings facing Valley
Street and Keowee Street, with parking areas behind the buildings.

Initial renderings, final design to be approved. Perspectives: from Keowee Street

The City of Dayton is working in partnership with Cincinnati-based Civitas Development
Group to launch the project. Civitas is a minority-owned company with a record of
success in developing single and multi-unit properties. It specializes in urban infill
development and collaborative leveraging of private and public funding.

With City Commission approval on May 8, the Dayton Recovery Plan will invest $1.5
million in the $4 million project. The Dayton Recovery Plan funds will be used for
predevelopment and construction services needed to build the homes.

The development capitalizes on roadway and greenspace improvements in the
immediate vicinity and will create a new gateway to the Old North Dayton area. In
recent years, CityWide Development Corporation, in cooperation with the City Dayton,
led a process to identify and implement enhancements in The Point area.

The Dayton Recovery Plan is the City of Dayton’s framework for transformative
investment of $138 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds dedicated to
recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Dayton’s goal for the funding is to create
long-term transformational and sustainable impacts in focus areas, as well as special
initiatives with impact citywide. For more information, go to daytonohio.gov/drp.

Baker Benji’s Shop Officially Open in Old North Dayton!

May 20, 2023 By Dayton937

The legacy of Evans’ Bakery lives on! This morning Baker Benji’s celebrated the storefront’s grand opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The first 25 people in the door  received one free donut or one free cupcake a month for a year.
“This is a dream come true for me,” said Benjamin “Benji’s” Stuckey, owner of Benji’s Bakery. “Ten years of hard work all built up to this, and being able to continue this legacy is just the icing on the cake.”
For over 100 years, a bakery has occupied the corner of Troy Street and Warner Avenue and Baker Benji’s is elated to continue this Dayton tradition. Stuckey and his team hope to partner with other restaurants and coffee shops in the area to support fellow small businesses.
“The community has come out in full support,” said Stuckey. “[I’m] not sure who is more excited to have the doors at 700 Troy St open, my team and I, or the neighborhood.”
Benji would like to thank the First Floor Fund, a program funded by the City of Dayton’s Dayton Recovery Plan and administered by CityWide Development Corporation, for the opportunity to make the baker’s dream a reality.
Baker Benji’s is a full-service bakery operating in Old North Dayton. Providing the area with fresh donuts, pastries, cakes, cookies, and more. “Because every neighborhood deserves a good bakery!” Baker Benji’s is the official baker of The Ohio Renaissance Festival and can be found at Ashville Viking Festival (late April), Celtic Fest Ohio (mid-June), the Ohio Renaissance Festival (September thru October), and Yuletide Village (late November thru mid-December).

Contrary to Rumors, Local Deli Not Closing!

December 21, 2016 By Dayton Most Metro

charliesWe’ve been hearing rumors of Charlie’s Deli and Catering closing at the end of the year for a while now, but a quick phone call to owner Rod Vangas yesterday put an end to that.  Rod said he and his wife Becky had been talking about it, but instead they’ve just recently hired a manager, which will allow them to take on a lighter roll and allow Charlie’s to continue serving up great sandwiches six days a week.

Located at 429 Troy Street, this popular German influenced sandwich shop has been feeding the masses since 1964.  They are located in Old North Dayton for a reason.  Back in the early sixties, the area was not called Old North Dayton, but was nicknamed “Texas” or “Parma.”   Many German immigrants and families from Eastern Europe occupied the neighborhood.  Charlie’s Deli was created to match the demand for authentic German fare and imported items.

Started by Charlie Vangas, the deli is now owned by Charlie’s son Rod Vangas and his wife, charlies2Becky.  They still hold on to tradition here, and even have a photo of  Charlie with Channel 7 news legend Don Wayne.  But the old school atmosphere is only the beginning.  Charlies Deli and Catering prides itself on serving tasty sandwiches with freshly sliced lunch meats Monday thru Friday from 7:15 am – 6 pm.  They are  open Saturdays 9am – 3pm and closed on Sundays.  The menu has a wide variety of tastes and you could spend a lunch hour just reading the uniquely named sandwiches (click here to see what we are talking about).  The prices are a great value, with most sandwiches ranging from $4.50 – $6.75.  We love the great choices of breads and buns for your sandwich, and appreciate that they use Springfield’s own Woeber’s Mustard varieties on many sandwiches.
Whether your sub choice is a Reuben or a Cuban, you will be back for more.  Even the pulled pork is dynamite sandwich.  Want a goal for 2017?  If you eat all of the sandwiches on the menu, you get a free Charlie’s Deli T-shirt ! We also enjoy many of the side dishes at Charlie’s, like the cole slaw, potato salad, and those wonderful pickled eggs.

With winter in full swing, now is a good time to enjoy the specialty soups at Charlie’s.   Regulars flock to get Chicken  Spaetzel Soup or the Wisconsin Cheese Soup.  More traditional hot soups include country potato, vegetable beef, and ham and bean.  Don’t forget about their chili!  It is meaty, old fashioned and hits the spot.  Want something hot but a little more filling?  Try their famous cabbage rolls.  The family recipe is a hit with the locals and is sure to please your taste buds.

Food Adventure to Charlie’s Deli and Catering

January 3, 2013 By Dayton937 10 Comments

 Sometimes, you just have to “kick it old school.”  Being lifelong residents of Dayton, Food Adventures appreciates the history of the Gem City.  One of these spots is the oldest delicatessen in the Dayton area, Charlie’s Deli and Catering. 

Located at 429 Troy Street, this popular German influenced sandwich shop has been feeding the masses since 1964.  They are located in Old North Dayton for a reason.  Back in the early sixties, the area was not called Old North Dayton, but was nicknamed “Texas” or “Parma.”   Many German immigrants and families from Eastern Europe occupied the neighborhood.  Charlie’s Deli was created to match the demand for authentic German fare and imported items.

Started by Charlie Vangas, the deli is now owned by Charlie’s son Rod Vangas and his wife, Becky.  They still hold on to tradition here, and even have a photo of  Charlie with Channel 7 news legend Don Wayne.  But the old school atmosphere is only the beginning.  Charlies Deli and Catering prides itself on serving tasty sandwiches with freshly sliced lunch meats Monday thru Friday from 7:15 am – 6 pm.  They are  open Saturdays 9am – 3pm and closed on Sundays.  The menu has a wide variety of tastes and you could spend a lunch hour just reading the uniquely named sandwiches (click here to see what we are talking about).  The prices are a great value, with most sandwiches ranging from $4.50 – $6.75.  We love the great choices of breads and buns for your sandwich, and appreciate that they use Springfield’s own Woeber’s Mustard varieties on many sandwiches.
The first specialty sandwich served at Charlie’s was the “Black Forest Sandwich” and it still remains a popular choice today.   It is comprised of roast beef, super sharp cheese, bacon, tomato, mayo or Woeber’s horseradish mustard, served on your choice of German Rye, Kaiser Roll or Onion Bun.
We all agree on our favorite deli sandwich at Charlie’s.  It is called “The Mesquite,” and is mesquite smoked turkey breast, kojak cheese, lettuce and tomato.  The sandwich is finished with a hot pepper cherry relish that makes the sandwich.  Grab one of these for a spicy, tasty Food Adventure on a bun.  It is available in the small size, priced at $3.95 or go all out and pay $6.50 for the 8 inch sub.  We would also tell you to try the  “Yipee-ki-ay Sandwich”, inspired by Bruce Willis in the movie “Die Hard.”  This sandwich is Roast Beef with a slab of Swiss cheese.  The incredible mushroom sauce topping makes this a delicious and messy sub.

Whether your sub choice is a Reuben or a Cuban, you will be back for more.  Even the pulled pork is dynamite sandwich.  Want a goal for 2013?  If you eat all of the sandwiches on the menu, you get a free Charlie’s Deli T-shirt ! We also enjoy many of the side dishes at Charlie’s, like the cole slaw, potato salad, and those wonderful pickled eggs.
Another menu item worth trying is the “Chi-Dog.” This Chicago Style, Vienna all beef wiener is loaded sport peppers, garlic pickle wdges, chopped onions, tomato, sweet relish, yellow mustard and served on a poppy seed bun.
With winter in full swing, now is a good time to enjoy the specialty soups at Charlie’s.   Regulars flock to get Chicken  Spaetzel Soup or the Wisconsin Cheese Soup.  More traditional hot soups include country potato, vegetable beef, and ham and bean.  Don’t forget about their chili!  It is meaty, old fashioned and hits the spot.  Want something hot but a little more filling?  Try their famous cabbage rolls.  The family recipe is a hit with the locals and is sure to please your taste buds.

 

This place has a ton of character.   We suggest that you dine in the back room like we did, where there is a lot of scenery among the various  items on the shelves.  Charlie’s is a great place for a Food Adventure because the deli fare is fantastic and you can browse among the German imports and other items around the store.  Charlie’s is the biggest Dayton area importer of German goods.  They have a huge selection of German Import Beers.   They even have a deal where you can make your own variety 6-pack from over 100 kinds of beer.
Where else in Dayton can you eat a freshly sliced deli sandwich in the dining area, while browsing various imported vinyl records from Germany?  Charlie’s is a place where pick up some rare boxes of German cookies, breads, and jars of hard to find items,  all while eating a tuna salad pita.   Charlie’s Deli and Catering is our kind of place.  Dayton is lucky that the Vangas family imports so many unique foodstuffs and provides great eats.  Charlie’s is big on quality, personality, and taste but is also a big part of Dayton’s soul.
