Porch Wine at the River

By Lisa Kaye

Nestled along the Great Miami River, this grand apartment building has stood as silent witness to the ebb and flow of Dayton's history since 1910. Once a luxurious destination, the property was allowed to slip into decline. When the new owners, along with the newly anointed name of "East River Place," set out to restore its crumbling halls in 2005, they weren't just resuscitating a building, they were reigniting a community. "Porch Wine at the River" weaves together fictional stories inspired by some of its people. The book integrates tales from a few struggling souls of the past to some eccentric newcomers who arrived with hope, creativity, and an eye for revival. Each character paints a vivid picture of an evolving community of quirky, flawed, and endearing free spirits, who chose to pass through this lovely old structure. With charm, grit and a touch of nostalgia, the book is a love letter to those who make the place they live more than just an address--they make it a story to be shared. Pour a glass, allow yourself to be transported, as you step into the tales of East River Place. It's a place where every story is worth a sip. Cheers
