Last week’s Where Am I? August 11, 2010 was the clock tower at Dayton Children’s Medical Center. The best nurses in Dayton work at Children’s, and parents can find a world of helpful information on their website.

Hint: It takes a village
Last week’s Where Am I? August 4, 2010 was Winston Heat Treating. You’ve seen the sign, 711 East 2nd Street- right across the street from the 2nd Street Public Market. What do they do? They heat things up for food processing, medical tooling, aerospace industries to name a few. Kinda cool, er, I mean, hot, right?
Where Am I – August 4, 2010
The answer to last week’s Where Am I? July 28, 2010 is Cairn’s Toys in Tipp City. An ever-changing cast of jaunty Playmobil figures are always outside greeting customers to the cobalt blue tiled building. Cairn’s has been there since 1983. I love that building- it’s such a cool and colorful addition to the historic downtown area.
Cairn’s is owned and operated by Melissa Cairns. Our unique store specializes in high quality toys and classic bears not found in common department stores. It is our vast selection, product knowledge, and personal service that attracts repeat customers who frequently travel more than 100 miles to come and visit our store.
This week’s hint: Industrial strength heat. Check out the pic below, and if you know where I am then add another hint for others down in the comments.

The answer to Where Am I– July 21, 2010: The Firefly Building, 123 Webster St. in Dayton. Definitely one of Dayton’s most cool buildings! From Rogero + Buckman Architects website:
It’s a building, it’s a brand, it’s the Firefly. Open office lofts in the front section, hip residential lofts in the rear, separated by an outside stairwell/balcony system sheathed in perforated metal screens that shimmer by day and glow by night. Look up to the roof to see the winged roof canopy, and shield your eyes from the day glow green color scheme and you start to see why it’s called the Firefly.

The answer to Where Am I – July 14, 2010: Eastwood MetroPark. The photo is of the lagoon.
The Lake held two functions: one was to provide water recreation for the community and also to help protect the city’s water supply by acting as a recharge basin for the aquifer.
It’s a beautiful park with some of the best recreational options in Dayton Ohio: Power boats, sailboats, kayaking, fishing, picnicing, and a popular bike trail. Mountain Days is held there every summer with some nationally known traditional, bluegrass, and country music acts. Check the calendar, here.
Highlights of Eastwood MetroPark include a 185-acre lake, Mad River, picnic shelters and a playground. The 3-mile loop trail offers hiking opportunities on mostly level terrain. Try fishing in Eastwood Lake or the Blue Lake or the Mad River. Bring the family and the boat out to Eastwood MetroPark for a fun-filled day on the water, or just enjoy a serene sojourn on the trails.

Where Am I – July 14, 2010
I get to see a lot of the city; Realtors can log hundreds of miles a week over the entire Dayton area. We also become good at seeing bits and pieces of buildings and paying close attention to details: An interesting light fixture, a beautiful door, an architectural detail that’s 25 feet above the ground. To us, these are clues to the value, potential appeal, and condition of a property, but on an emotional level, on a daily basis, looking for the little details around us means we get to be delighted and surprised when we take the time to pay attention.
It’s with this in mind that DaytonMostMetro.com is starting a new weekly column called “Where Am I?” The DMM contributors will grab a photo of something in the Dayton area: A sculpture, a sign, a gargoyle, or an interesting entryway, little gems around the Dayton area that you might miss if you aren’t paying attention or something lovely that you might take for granted if it’s become so much background.
We invite you to share your guess of the location in the comment space. Then on the following week we’ll give the answer and some information about previous “Where Am I”. Some might be easier than others, but mostly we hope it’s fun and it encourages us to see Dayton as a little more interesting. We also hope you might share your own thoughts, stories, and memories of the places we highlight, whether you are a long time resident, or have just moved into town. DaytonMostMetro.com works best the same way the Dayton Ohio area works best- as a community- each of us contributing and sharing what we know so don’t be shy.
Our first week’s “Where Am I” is this:
