Dear Daytonian,
Even during the shortest daylight days in early December, we Daytonians commute to work as the skies brighten and get home as the sun fades, but that's not the case for many cities that do not enjoy being located at the western edge of their time zone. As shown below for some major U.S. cities, those unfortunate folks don't even leave work until it's totally dark. Yes, they have more light in the morning, but really, what good is that?

The Dayton Metropolitan area totals around 800,000 residents and being that large brings along most of the amenities of the larger cities, but without most of the hassles they live with daily. Combined with Midwest sensibilities, life here is easy, but if you're a Daytonian that doesn't get around much, you might not know how weird things can get out there. If you live elsewhere, you might not realize how comfortable and affordable life in Dayton is. That's the purpose of this weekly blog.
