Dayton's Historic Oregon District

Last weekend I wanted to just get off campus and do something fun and new. A friend had suggested that she heard of this place called the Oregon District that was about five minutes away from campus. We decided to give it a try, and I must say it was one of the most fun nights that I had had in a while. The city of Oregon is one of the most alive parts of Dayton and it includes historical buildings, antique shops, café’s, parades, a comedy club, Ohio’s largest Halloween party, picnics in the park, street vendors, musicians, and a unique Rock Climbing Gym - Urban Krag. I thought the area looked very trendy and upbeat. We decided to go to the Oregon Emporium to get a cup of coffee. The small coffee shop was very modern looking, and even had a wine bar inside of it. Some other restaurants included Jay's Seafood, Pacchia, Cafe Boulevard, and The Oregon Express. There are also various businesses and inns around the District. So, if your looking for a place to go to get off campus, try Dayton's Oregon District!
