Whether you’re from Dayton or out of town~ here are few things I would take into consideration while traveling
Parking
Free parking can be found on Wayne Ave, directly in front of the shop. The sign will say no longer than two hours but during the day you’d be fine. Free parking can also be found on Jackson St, 5th if opened that day.
Pay to park can be found in the lot across from the shop and the church parking lot a few doors down.
Eating/ Dining
Gray Garden is located in Daytons historic Oregon District, which offers many places to shop, eat and drink. Here are my recommendations for things close to the shop~ Please look at hours before hand!
Also plz no drinking or too much caffeine pre tattoo :)
