What time is it? By Jim Bucher Don’t know about you, but this whole time change deal a week or so ago is still messing with me. I know, I know, you’re saying, “Oh come on, you just lost an hour of sleep is all.” Right, but when you think about it, instead of eating lunch […]
What’s cookin at the Dayton Home and Garden Show By Jim Bucher Any cooking show fans out there in Dayton City Paper land? If so we have a fun and tasty event coming up this weekend. First, have you heard of the television show Chopped on Food Network? In each episode, four chefs must take […]
Broadway-bound Buch By Jim Bucher I just departed from the Victoria Theatre Association’s 2016-17 season announcement feeling excited and pumped on the lineup. But before the schedule is shared here, I thought I’d tell a few tales about season announcements from the past. My association with the Victoria Theatre dates back to the early ’90s. […]
Memories of St. Patrick’s Day By Jim Bucher Years ago on St. Patrick’s Day here locally I’d be out on the town with a live TV camera in tow covering the festivities between 5 and 7a.m. on the Ch. 2 morning news show. I’ve sworn to write a book one day—the things that happened on and […]

The bread and milk mystery By Jim Bucher People still to this day come up to me and say, “Hey Buch, loved when you worked at Channel 2 out in the snow and cold covering the event live on TV.” Hours on end, I and other reporter types would file our reports every 10 minutes […]
And they’re off By Jim Bucher It’s official. The 2016 presidential race is in full swing. But wait—hasn’t it been underway since the day after President Obama’s second inauguration? Pretty much.

National Park Service celebrates 100 years By Jim Bucher When national parks are mentioned what comes to mind? The Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, or perhaps the Great Smokey Mountains? But what about Dayton’s very own national park? Yep, we do have one here—and it’s a dandy. But first, a little history lesson. The first national […]
A day at the races By Jim Bucher I’ve never been a huge gambler. Sure, I’ve battled a few one-armed bandits in my time, but I always seem to leave with less than what I had when I arrived. So when Ohio voters okayed Casinos, or ‘Racinos’ if you will, the concept intrigued me. So, after a […]
