downtown fairborn

[old88]

i left fairborn in 1949. returned for 2 years in 1951-52. lived on dayton drive at that time (10 years 0ld). moved away again. i loved downtown as a kid plus the fairborn theatre, etc. my grandparents lived at 39 so maple ave for over 50 years. i returned to visit in 1967 and the decline of fairborn was obvious and painful. town officials when contacted seemed uninterested in decline of downtown fairborn. returned for the last time about 10 years ago... our house on dayton dr was rundown tv repair shop, 39 so maple was 2-3 family... only foys was still there with pictures of my grandparents under glass case of old photos. all my family is gone now but i would be afraid to return now anyway.... the "pretenders" popular song says it all !.

I think if you were to return to Fairborn you would be pleasantly suprised. Downtown has a number of new businesses and overall looks quite good. It isn't perfect and I think the city could still put a little more priority on it compare to the I675 area but things are good.

Hope you can visit some day soon.
