Good morning, Montgomery County. Big money is moving through our local real estate market as a Washington Township office building just sold for a cool $5.5 million. This transaction joins other notable deals in our region, including a $36 million shopping center sale, showing continued confidence in Dayton-area commercial properties. Meanwhile, entertainment options are expanding with Columbus-based Pins Mechanical opening its sixth Ohio location in the Water Street district, bringing its signature mix of bowling, arcade games, and craft cocktails to our community.
Long before viral tweets and Instagram memes, Dayton's own Erma Bombeck mastered the art of finding humor in everyday family life. This hometown literary legend transformed from newspaper copygirl to nationally syndicated columnist whose work appeared in over 900 newspapers. Her twelve books—nine becoming New York Times bestsellers—cemented her legacy as a cultural icon who, as Phil Donahue noted, provided an essential window into understanding American family life of her era.

✍️ Erma Bombeck turned everyday family life into national humor gold. The Dayton native began as a newspaper copygirl before her column "At Wit's End" grew to appear in over 900 newspapers nationwide. A 1949 University of Dayton graduate, Bombeck wrote twelve books, nine becoming New York Times bestsellers, while also appearing on "Good Morning America." Her legacy is commemorated with an Ohio historical marker outside St. Mary's Hall at her alma mater, where friend Phil Donahue eulogized that scholars centuries from now would need to read Erma to truly understand our time.
