A beautiful spring-like day complete
with cool breezes embraced McPherson Town residents Dave and Judy for their heartwarming wedding in our neighborhood park. Long time residents of McPherson Town, the couple decided it was only natural to say their vows surrounded by people they love in a place that they love.
Following the ceremony, the newly-weds and their guests enjoyed an evening of celebrating, music and dancing under a tent adjacent to the community garden. Congrats to the lovely couple from all the their McPherson Town family!

On a rainy Sat. in March, twelve teams competed in two divisions of hardcore McPherson Town euchre-playing. Nearly three hours later, the champion was determined. The winners, now possess the admiration of their neighbors as well as a jar of Frog Bubbles. The rest of us knew we were in trouble when the winning team came through the door in uniform. Everybody had a great time–players and hecklers alike.

In cooperation with the Miami Conservancy District, City of Dayton and Montgomery County (and as part of the ‘Rivers, Cycling & Active Lifestyle committee of the Greater Downtown Dayton Plan), Five Rivers MetroParks has just announced its proposal to remove the Monument Avenue low dam and install two grade-control whitewater/bypass “canoe” channels that will make the Great Miami River navigable through downtown and past Carillon Park.
If plans are realized, a river access point and parking may be added to McPherson Town as soon as 2013.
Before the project can proceed, agreements would be reached with the Miami Conservancy District and city of Dayton. Permits will have to be obtained from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Permitting will take at least a year.

About 20 McPherson Town residents enjoyed a selection of top shelf bourbons on a cold winter night in Jan. Four neighbors opened up their homes for the event, and offered a selection of complimentary nibbles to highlight the flavors of their bourbon offerings. Thanks to all who participated! There was talk of tequila or vodka tastings in the near future – so stay tuned!

Proposed sound wall rendering
View before sound wall construction
The Ohio Department of Transportation has recently finished erecting noise abatement walls along I-75 on the west and north borders of McPherson Town. These solid noise walls not only reduced the sound from passing traffic, they also look great and give the neighborhood a cozy feel.
The relief on the I-75 side has the greatest depth (3 inches). This is because the wall is viewed at higher speeds by vehicular traffic. The pedestrian side has a shallower relief (½ inch). This is because local and pedestrian traffic views the wall at slower speeds and there is the possibility of the wall being obscured by vegetation. This concept was reached by concensus between ODOT and Dayton city officials.
Final Sound Walls
The walls not only reduce noise by up to ten decibels — an audible halving of the noise — but help to block dirt from the road.
McPherson Town thanks ODOT and the City of Dayton for their cooperation in getting the walls in place!
