Recently, Dayton Metro Library officials soundly rejected a proposal that would have the main library move into the historic and insanely dilapidated Arcade complex downtown.

That hasn’t stopped supporters of the move from pushing and pulling with all of their might.

J. Todd Anderson, a nationally known storyboard artist who has worked with the Coen brothers, passionately took up the charge during his slide show presentation at yesterday’s Pecha Kucha Night in Dayton.

I missed all but the tail end of Anderson’s presentation, but did hear the locally-based filmmaker urge those in attendance to contact the library and request that it reconsider its decision (click to read the library’s letter to Arcade co-owner Gunther Berg and Dayton City Paper Publisher Paul Noah, a major proponent of the plan).

Stranger things have happened — for instance, a gigantic rubber duck recently invaded a Hong Kong harbor — but I am guessing cats will grow wings and take flight before the library moves into the Arcade.

Consider the word in the letter cited above from Dayton Metro’s Executive Director Tim Kambitsch and Margot Merz, the library board president: “We cannot afford to risk taxpayers’ money on a project that, at the end of the day, would not be in the best interest of our patrons today or into the future.”

In short, it ain’t gonna happen. (See RAW VIDEO of a recent tour of the Arcade.)

There is no reason to be offended. The main library isn’t the only thing that I am guessing is NOT going into the Arcade, which is partly located at the intersection of Fourth and Ludlow streets.

Here are 5 other things you won’t see move into the Arcade:

World’s most historic dance club

Bartenders, bouncers and waitresses could don period clothes while patrons gather around a gramophone record player listening to jazz jams by Jelly Roll Morton. No night would be complete without bubbles, but minds are too closed to let it happen.

Son of Beast’s new lair

King’s Island’s disaster of a roller coast never operated correctly in Mason, but it may like downtown Dayton. They could rebuild it in the Arcade, but they won’t. If nothing else, the wood could, but would never be stored in one or two of the Arcade’s five buildings.

The new Schuster Center

Benjamin & Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center may seem perfectly fine where it is, but why not mess up a good thing. By today’s standards, 10 years in the same place seems a mighty long time. Someone should, but won’t move it along with those palm trees to the Arcade.

Casino de Monte Carlo de Ohio

Dayton and the Arcade were left out in the cold when the locations of Ohio’s four casinos were being decided. The city is getting a racino, but racinos don’t bring in casino money. Only something big could land the city a casino at this point. Someone should open the world’s most luxurious casino in the heart of the Gem City. They won’t.

The Main branch of the Greene County library

The Dayton Metro Library doesn’t have the only library game in town. No sir! Surrounding counties and some cities also have library systems. Would it teach Dayton Metro Library officials a valuable lesson if one of those systems were to move its a main branch into the Arcade? The answer to that question is no.
