As much as I hate to say it, there isn't vey much to Dayton. The atmosphere is isn't anything spectacular. If I had the choice to live here again I would most likely say yes because the cost of living in Dayton, Ohio is so low that I could live here and travel more often. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the greatest place on earth, I would give Dayton a 3.5 because I don't believe it has reached its full potential in a long time. I don't see a very promising future for Dayton as of right now.
