Dayton ( /ˈdeɪtn/) is the 6th largest city in the U.S. state of Ohio and is the county seat of Montgomery County. At the 2010 census, the population was 141,527; the Dayton metropolitan area had 841,502 residents, making it the fourth largest metropolitan area in Ohio and the 61st largest in the United States. The Dayton-Springfield-Greenville Combined Statistical Area had a population of 1,072,891 in 2010 and is the 43rd largest in the United States. Dayton is situated within the Miami Valley region of Ohio just north of the Cincinnati–Northern Kentucky metropolitan area.
Ohio's borders are within 500 miles (805 km) of roughly 60% of the country's population and manufacturing infrastructure making the Dayton area a logistical centroid for manufacturers, suppliers, and shippers. Dayton also plays host to significant research and development in fields like industrial, aeronautical, and astronautical engineering that have led to many technological innovations. Much of this innovation is due in part to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and its place within the community. With the decline of heavy manufacturing, Dayton's businesses have diversified into a service economy that includes insurance and legal sectors as well as healthcare and government sectors.
This seems to have become a trend. When did the day begin? And how come a single soul hasn't told me? It appears to have become a trend, wasting my weekends on the couch, while mountains move around me. But I digress, in weight of feigning interest, to do what's best: Grab my coat and leave the house. How long have you lived around the corner? A state of shock on your front lawn, but anxious enough to ask you: "Well, how long have you lived around the corner?" Thank goodness that I've made it out alive. This seems to have become a trend, with more casing than courtesy, and song titles scribbled poorly on some posterboard. It appears to have become a trend. A trailer sits in the driveway, while the brother (years younger) knows better. Thank goodness that we've made it out alive. I've been bored to death enough time today. I've been bored to death enough times to know that we are what we are. What we are is all the same. Not tired or uninspired; We could never live that way. Thank goodness that we've made it out alive.
