what is the pizza style like? something that interests me greatly are city specific foods and this sounds like something I'd want to try.
Dayton pizza is thin, crispy crust, a little on the salty side, cut in squares so before you know it your pizza is gone. Marion's, Cassano's, Ron's all fit that. If you're going to be in town awhile, you might also try LaRosa's, which is a long-time Cincinnati favorite with a location in Centerville. Dewey's, which is another Cincinnati chain and features gourmet pizza, has a location on Brown Street near UD.
Flying Pizza, a NY-style pizza, is also outstanding. It has locations in downtown Dayton, Beavercreek, Centerville and Mason.
Many cities in the 1-2 million person range lack identities. My hometown of Jacksonville has almost no identity to speak of. It just has a little bit of everything and attracts some of every group of people/companies.
Raleigh is know for eds, meds, and feds, but let's not kid ourselves that it has anything that resembles a cultural identity. There is not a specific heritage there, a specific food, a well known cultural landmark/institution with history, there is no history LoL. Just saying. Maybe in 50 years it can be the New New York with all of the New Yorkers relocating their in droves.
I see what you are saying. I thought we were just talking about a city being known for something. I would 100% agree with you.

Yeah, but provalone is really prevalent in Cincy and Columbus (Dayton too?), which is different.
If Charlotte cannot have an identity because it was a cowtown 50 years ago, can LA have an identity since it was a cowtown only 100 years ago? And what about Minneapolis? What is its identity?

Charlotte was not a cowtown 50 years ago. It didn't have as nearly a draw as it does now, and in some respects may have been more "urban." It also has an identity.

People who think Tampa has no culture or identity because its in Florida are ignorant. Ybor waste built in the 1980s as an entertainment district. It was built in the late 1800s by immigrants from mainly Cuba, Spain, and Italy. It became known as Cigar City because that is what the city was built on. Take a trip through South Tampa and see 100 year old buildings and brick streets with a mix of Spanish, Southern and Victorian style houses. Not to mention all of the new cultural center Downtown that tourists never see because they are to busy riding roller coaster at Busch Gardens.
^^^^Ehhh, stretching it. Jacksonville and Tampa *had* very well known identities from about 1875-1930. Miami has had an identity from about 1920 to the present and Orlando has had an identity from about 1972 to the present.
Here is an interesting article on Tampa's Ybor City and early Cuban and Italian history/cigar history (BTW Jacksonville killed Tampa's cigar history when the Swisher brothers built an automated factory in Jacksonville in 1925, which is still the world's largest cigar factory...both cities have long cigar histories and old Cuban populations).
I'd argue that St. Petersburg kind of has an identity as a place to die, LoL and maybe Clearwater has an identity as being weird and the headquarters of Scientology, though I doubt most people know that until they move there! Tampa has just a little bit of everything nowadays and isn't known dominantly for one thing. It has a relatively diverse economy and population, a hefty student population, a major theme park, Channelside, warm weather, Ybor, etc etc.
Both cities do have stuff they could capitalize on.
For instance, Jacksonville has soooo much history going back hundreds of years all up and down (not just St. Augustine). It does jack squat to do anything about it. We have a huge and long military/nautical history with battles, forts, military/navy bases (some of the largest in the country still in operation), once home to some of the largest shipyards, port, cruise port, Florida's only operating ferry, Florida's oldest yacht club (started by William Astor), etc etc, yet we don't do jack squat about it. We could have a large naval/marine museum and an old ship docked that people could tour right downtown, and we don't. We have a space for a small, local marine museum that does not attract lots of tourists. We could take title to Florida's cultural center with the Cummer, the Southeast's largest contemporary art museum MOCA Jax, Florida's only symphony hall and best symphony, Florida Theater, Southeast's best and largest library/library system, etc etc, and we don't. Food? There is actually kind of a local food identity here, too, and don't get me started on it. Nobody but locals and foodies know anything about it! Doubtful many visitors know about all of this because the advertising is just not there like it should be. As a result, where an identity could be, there is none. I think Tampa is in the same boat.
