Salem has issues, but the Phoenix project officers and the Peace Corridor people are working on that. The Main Street corridor is the main issue in that area. Don't believe me? Check in at the 5th Precinct on Salem.

MY DEAR FRIEND WHAT makes so sad with Dayton, is because we ownd 2 homes on
Salem Ave. they are in excellent condition, but Salem Ave. ISN'T.
In the best of circumstances Salem Avenue would be a hard sell; a high-traffic noisy highway into the city. Who would want to live on it? In fact I'm surprised there still are people living on it and the whole street isn't boarded-up yet.

I think you can see that once upon a time the trend was conversions away from houses. Those (now vacant and overgrown) doctors offices and the nursing home in the midsection, near the Dayton View library, and the commercial and office conversions south between, say, North Avenue and the river...where they were tearing down houses and converting the land to things like the United Way, the welfare office, the car dealer, and so forth...

But that pretty much has stopped and the retail/commercial/office aspect of Salem is mostly going vacant... and what IS torn down (both houses, apartments and other stuff) stays that way...as in vacant lots.

I could probably write a small essay on the evolution/devolution of Salem Avenue (the southern part) since I did some looking-in to the history of that area, but will spare y'all the pain. There is probably an interesting social history to be written of the Salem corridor, too, from what I've heard of the area.

But that is for another board, not this one.

Great point. Salem's the busiest street in the western corridor. I wouldn't want to live on it directly.

Amanda swears by it! Beautiful street with boarded up homes, hookers walking the "track" and shooting a plenty. How could you NOT love that?

Your constant personal attacks are really getting old. It's happening in thread after thread and post after post. Perhaps some fiber in your diet would help.

^Yeah, it doesn't even fall within TOS for this site. It's a blatant personal attack.

As I'm sure you know, weatherphotographer, I reported it. And yes, I'm sorry I did, but I don't understand why you have to do personal attacks. If you were just going to say "I think Salem Ave. is a cesspool filled with heroin addicts" or something to that effect, than sure, you're not doing a personal attack and we could pull up some facts and have a good debate. But your last post is just a personal attack...
