There’s so much more to saying “good-bye” than just saying “good-bye.” For Charlie, the late-stage downsizing transition from the big house to a downtown apartment brought layers of good-byes: to the past, to material things drenched in memories, to spaces to store tools and play music and enjoy a hobby of picture framing, to good neighbors and great friends. But while this sounds like a sad story, Charlie explains why it’s not. Charlie Campbell is the creator of the weekly blog, It’s Great In Dayton, [ Ссылка ] where he informs his 7,000 “best friends” of what’s going on in the Dayton area. Since 1972, Charlie has been living in Oakwood with his family and working in downtown Dayton. His grandfather established Miami-Jacobs College and Charlie was the third generation to “…keep things going.” During those years, Charlie was tagged, “The Mayor of Webster Station.” In the year 2000 he retired, but he never took his eye off downtown Dayton. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
