Dear Daytonian,
After a road trip, if you get a bill for an unpaid toll, perhaps you've encountered a "stealth" toll booth.
During a trip late last year to North Carolina, I saw toll signs but never saw a toll booth, so I thought I just misinterpreted what I saw and just forgot about it. A few months later I get a bill from NC Quick Pass for $1.12 and it took me awhile to figure out what it was for, as I knew I didn't run a toll booth. Since the location was included on the bill, I used Google Street View to go find the toll booth and after going back and forth several times I finally figured out it. I had never seen this type of toll "arch" before and I certainly hope they don't become popular. You can see it for yourself at the link below.
One more reason to love Dayton, Ohio.

The Dayton Metropolitan area totals around 800,000 residents and being that large brings along most of the amenities of the larger cities, but without most of the hassles they live with daily. Combined with Midwest sensibilities, life here is easy, but if you're a Daytonian that doesn't get around much, you might not know how weird things can get out there. If you live elsewhere, you might not realize how comfortable and affordable life in Dayton is. That's the purpose of this weekly blog.
