Dayton in Ohio is famous for its inventor residents such as Orville and Wilbur Wright (who invented the airplane), James Ritty (who invented the cash register) and Charles Kettering (who invented a self-starter for automobiles).
Apart from this, the city is fairly unremarkable, although there is a good selection of restaurants and hotels.,
