Welcome my friend to Dayton, Ohio! Where the hookers are cheap and the drug dealers vile. Where some prefer heroin and some prefer crack, but OD's don't discriminate from being white or black. The county morgue is so full, send the dead to a new place, especially when the heroin's been fentanyl laced.
You can't pass a corner without the homeless and their sign. Or the alcoholics wanting money for wine. Where a lot of good folks tend to just stay inside, so they don't get robbed or jacked for their ride. The stray bullets fly freely and don't have a name and flakka keeps many possessed and insane.
Now you can still find some culture and history too and it's probably not bad if you're just passing through. So welcome, my friend to Dayton, Ohio! A city in distress for it's addictive lifestyle.
