Nice to see Dayton here on SSP. While parts are a little rough around the edges, there is a lot to love about Dayton. The Air Force museum at Wright Patt is fantastic- even for someone like me who doesn't really care much about the topic. The Art Institute is also great for a city of Dayton's size, and I'd say its collection is better than museums in cities far larger (ahem, Columbus). The Oregon District is fantastic, and I really love driving and walking around Oakwood- a wealthy inner ring suburb with beautiful old estates and great parks. Plus, within Dayton's orbit you have some amazing hiking at Clifton Gorge State Park, the wonderful little hippy town of Yellow Springs (home of Dave Chapelle), and two HBCUs (Wilberforce and Central State). It's a pretty cool, slept on part of the country!
