What do the Locals Say?
Dayton is such a welcoming community. I have lived in a lot of different cities in different states and pleasantly surprised with the friendliness here. I also find the scenery very beautiful from the open sky and spaces, sunsets, lakes, outdoor activities, and the close proximity to the Sierras. - Niche.com
