Young woman's body found 20 years ago By Martha IIardcastle For the Dayton Daily Newt Twenty years ago next month, the body of a pigtailed young woman was found on a rural Miami County road. Sheriffs deputies are reexamining the case using improved communication tools and technology hoping to identify the woman, if not her killer, too. On April 24, 1981, a man moving your flight in, bear in mind we are also the home of inventions without which you wouldn't have been able to recover from the airlin4 unservice and enjoy the games, namely the pop top and the ice cube tray. If you go out around town today, you'll notice some large tents in parking lots of libation-provisioning businesses. Please be advised that this is not a year-round local occurrence, nor are the green beer and fake brogues you'll find today.

The only indigenous population normally blotto by brunch is the student body of the University of Dayton, the members of which are on spring break and, Since they can't afford tickets to the NCAAs, have been forced to drown their sorrows in places like Cancun and St Thomas. Those of you who visit the tents won't have to worry about the rest jpf the day. Or remember it. The others may wish to catch some local attractions. Top tourist sites include the U.S.

Air Force Museum (supersonic), the Dayton Art Institute (supercul-tural), and the Valleycrest landfill (Superfund). Fortunately, since you're probably broke already from concession prices, they're all free. As for cuisine, we must confess to a lack of exotic native dishes other than those found under exotic native golden arches and similar primeval symbols. The primary local culinary creation is the "hot shot," a type of hot beef or turkey sandwich invented by some-pne who was down to dessert plates and had no room for the mashed potatoes and thus had to plop them on top. Good, though.

Those of you who find yourselves short of funds are forewarned that it is illegal to panhandle or perform cardiac surgery in the city of Dayton without a license. We also have a truth-in-begging provision, so any indigent Kansan who cries "Go Vols" to Tennessee fans to try to cadge a buck could be arrested. Those looking to take part in local sporting activities are also ut of luck. Our biggest sport, prange-barrel slaloming, is not quite in season, and our second-biggest robbing banks, is mostly limited to weekdays. As for shopping, souvenir seekers may wish to bargain for native arts and crafts at the quaint markets we locals call "malls." Or just take some of your used pop tops back to your family and explain their historical significance.
