My three guitars have been neglected through my past two moves. I likely need to give them a good clean, condition the fretboards, and definitely restring them before I dive back into music.

Once upon a time i would’ve popped into Absolute Music to take care of that, but that’s no longer an option.

I know of a few music places around, but am interested to see if folks have any specific reccomendations and or spots to stay away from. I’d prefer locally owned and to stay away from Guitar Center or other chains if possible (not that I don’t think the folks there aren’t fully capable and knowledgeable, I’d just rather support small when I can).

Thanks!

Not much more to it - family history of non specific connective tissue anomaly, have had recent severe pain spikes and it’s time to see someone.

Been in talks with my regular doc and he isn’t particularly passionate about any one practice to refer me to, he has his usuals but indicated he also would be happy to work with whoever I pick. Since this is gonna be a lifelong thing, I’m choosing to be a bit more picky. I’m based in Xenia but am willing to drive about anywhere in the Dayton area if it means quality care.

Also would be happy to hear about recommended orthopedists for symptom management too.

Thanks y’all.

I recently moved from Huber to Xenia. When I lived in Montgomery County, it was really easy to find various leftist groups and communities that had Dayton chapters, mostly functioning out of a downtown Dayton HQ and serving that area. Which, is naturally to be expected. Now that I’m in Greene County - that’s much harder to find. Which again, isn’t surprising. I moved to a very red area. There’s a lot of conservative groups and communities here which is great for those who are seeking them out.

I continue to work within Dayton chapters and groups because sometimes you just have to make it work and it’s not like anything is horribly far, but it would be cool to be able to feel like I’m fostering more of a community closer to where I live at this point. Closest I’ve gotten is GC Democrats. I’m sure I could probably find some groups in Yellow Springs. But I figure, no harm in asking here too and covering my bases and seeing if anyone knows of any chapters or groups that are closer to home! Groups I’ve worked with in Dayton include Gem City Action, Dayton Chapter of DSA, Dayton Anti-Racist network.

Thank you in advance!
