find 10 new things to do in my city by the end of the year

Check! I did this today with husband, and we had the nicest afternoon. Yellow Springs has such a hippie heart (home to a liberal arts college like my beloved Otterbein!), and I loved the unique, eclectic, all locally-owned shops. We lunched at a 107 year-old tavern, and I bought some apple butter at a local dairy farm, and then I found some beautiful little Tibetan prayer flags at a…you guessed it, Tibetan gift shop. It was a sunny, beautiful day, and walking around in Yellow Springs today, admiring the local theaters, floral and jewelry shops and eateries, reminded me that even a city I’m less than enthusiastic about living in has a few surprises in store. I just have to be willing to look around…

6. The Oregon District (don’t know much about it besides that it’s a bar and restaurant area).
7. Second Street Public Market

refers to Dayton as the “armpit of Ohio,” and I can’t say I disagree, it’s time to embrace the city I find myself a new resident of, and get out and explore. Some ideas:

1. The Dayton Art Institute
2. Dayton Dragons game
3. Air Force museum
4. Dorothy Lane market cooking class
5. Boonshoft Kids’ museum

Just a few to start with.
