Bonfire Safety

Ohio is full of beautiful summer nights that you can spend camping, at a festival, or just outside in your backyard. And what’s better than a bonfire when you are spending these beautiful Dayton nights in the beautiful outdoors.

History of gas prices

Life was simple in 1919. Long commutes to work were not common, two-car garages were unheard of, and rush hours didn’t exist. Not only that, but owning a car was about as strange as owning a jet pack today.

This is quite a jump from the early 1900s when owning even one car was a luxury.  Read the rest of this entry >>
