USA Today seems to like “Dayton Patented”
Check this out.
Last week USA Today did a story on cities’ branding campaigns. The piece began with “Dayton Patented. Originals Wanted.” If you don’t know the genesis of the slogan, stay with the story. Cleveland also rated a mention.
If you believe in this sort of thing — not everyone does — Dayton came out looking pretty good; certainly better than if the writer had highlighted the Dayton Development Coalition’s boring, generic “Get Midwest” initiative.
Hopped Up Harry had this to say in the reader comments:
“I have to go to Dayton for business once in a while, and I had no idea so much came out of that small city.
“The Air Force Museum near Wright Patt is better than the Smithsonian if you are into that kind of stuff.
“Maybe it was because I did not expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised wih the restaurants, etc.”
