Yes, it is a business, but it is a business that is built off of being social, not a production line. They have implemented a rule that you only get 1 minute between your games to get the games in on time. I get keeping the games on time, but you are losing money from alcohol sales. Then they quit letting games run over. We played the other night and we were coming up on the next hour. We were ahead 18-16 with 3 minutes left, and when they cut us off at 21-20 when we were 3 minutes over. We usually play to 23. If they can't give any grace for games that are almost done, then it is just another reason why it is starting to suck there. If the refs can't keep the games on time, then hire new refs, or actually hire real refs. Most refs are just there paying off their session fees and are on the phone most of the time anyway. They used to give you 2 requests per session. Like if you couldn't do the 10pm hour, you could request that. Now you get one request or so they say. They used to actually try and fulfill those requests. They don't even try now. The schedule for Tuesdays this session is exactly the same as last session. team for team, hour for hour. All the did was change the name of the schedule from winter 1 to winter 2. So any requests were not met, we play the exact same teams in the exact same order. Which means there are 2 teams that we don't get to play for a second session. To me, that is just pure laziness. I don't know if the other days are like that. I hear a lot of grumblings among the players now, rule changes that no one knows about, lights being shut off right at 11pm. No grace period to get off the court and gather your things. The first session, I get it, new management is learning, but the second session only seems to be getting worse. It definitely is not the place I used to tell people to come and play at. Now it is just the place I play at for now.

And if we can't find what we need at the location, we just go online to the Greene County system to reserve items, and within a few days they are available for pick up. When the kids were little, we would walk over and participate in toddler story time - they are always friendly and welcoming. The staff is helpful but no-nonsense, just like you would expect a librarian to be. The library is in a neat old stone building - every time I walk in the front door, I can feel the history of Bellbrook. Every spring, the Garden Club does a great job with the landscaping and flowers out front. We love our community library!

The thing I don't like is they rarely offer programs for older teens at the Miamisburg branch. I'd love to see a poll out for our Miamisburg community each season to see what works around school and sports. I also find that a lot of the cool library programs are ran at libraries in the north vs anywhere close to home. It seems like the library staff doesn't really want to host events for families in their area.

Group spaces include two quads with space for up to 4 people, two group rooms for up to 8 people, one conference room for up to 10 people and a community room for up to 45 people. They also have a quiet reading room with two 4-person tables and several reading chairs. My first time visiting I had trouble finding where to park, as there is not a lot attached to the building. The Miamisburg Board of Education building is directly north of the library and has some parking on its' south end, but I wasn't sure if library patrons were allowed to park there. I drove around the block and ended up parking in a street spot on 6th St. Once inside, I learned the lot used for the library is actually across 6th St, just northeast of the library. Although, signs for this would have been helpful. Overall though, another great DML branch!

Reservable spaces include a quad for up to 4 people, group room for up to 8 people, conference room for up to 10 people and large community room for up to 90 people. There's also a quiet reading area with two 4-person tables, two 2-person tables and some reading chairs. Most of these spaces are on the inner portion of the library, so they lack windows. Other than the reservable spaces, there's not a whole lot of other places to sit -- only two other larger tables, one of which is occupied by a community puzzle. Of note, it gets rather cold here so bring a jacket if you plan on staying a while!

This is a monument dedicated to Civil War Union soldiers. It was dedicated in 1884 and consists of…read morea large 73-foot high granite column and a 9 and a half foot bronze statue of a solider holding a rifle on top. The original statue was made of Italian marble, but had to be replaced due to deterioration. The sculpture was made in the likeness of Private George Washington Fair, a carpenter and bricklayer born in Dayton who served in the Union Army from 1861 to 1865. It's height is impressive and it is in relatively good shape, especially considering its age and that it was moved twice, once to and new location in 1948 to alleviate traffic and then back to its original location in 1991. There was a copper box containing documents of the time placed "within the granite bosom" of the monument during it 1884 dedication. They were removed in 1948 when the statue was moved. The documents included "copies of all daily and weekly newspapers of the day, the annual reports of the Board of Health and Police Department, a copy of the city directory for 1883 and a large color picture of the unveiling of the monument." I know, exciting stuff. The monument is located in the middle of the street, and has a little plaza with some seating connected to it. If you walk over there then just be careful. You have to cross a busy street. There is metered street parking available within a reasonable walking distance and there is a commercial parking garage located across the street. Definitely worth a look if you are in Dayton. I would probably couple it with a visit to the nearby Riverside Park to maximize your trip and make the most of your visit. FYI: A crowd of 100,000 people witnessed the dedication in 1883. Dayton's population was reported to be 40,000 at that time.
