Happy Thanksgiving!

The Dayton Observer would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

As you can see we have some new additions to The Dayton Observer. As you have probably noticed we've added some new festive colors, a search this blog box (brought to you by the wonderful folks at Google), and at the bottom of the page a news ticker. The news ticker uses topics from Google news and runs of suggested searches from the admins. So if you want any topics to come up in the news ticker please suggest them in the comments.

Also, I would like to introduce myself. My name is...... well you can call me Mr. Montag and I have volunteered to help D.O. run the blog and write new posts from time to time. If anyone has any questions or concerns you can reach me at dayton451@gmail.com.

Comments, part 2

I have noticed quite an uptick in comments these past few days on an array of topics. I want to remind everyone to be respectful as this medium is an opportunity to provide you a voice in local government.

These past two days, I have especially noticed comments directed at city services. I am not sure if these comments are any way related to the comments stating that this blog should be shut down or mere coincidence of timing.

I believe we can still have a civil discourse regarding the community. However, if you do not enjoy reading the blog, please do not read it. If you post, please be respectful in your position, and I would hope people with the opposite position would be just as respectful.

Also, I deleted the last posting to give the comments a new slate.
