Well, almost 5 months after the campaign hit the fan, the website finally launched- and Lori Turner didn’t get to overbill for Real Art’s services, like she had on everything else. The Dayton Development Coalition spent a million dollars- and this is what we have:
GetMidwest.com – Dayton Region [1]
The Dayton Region in Southwest Ohio is a diverse mixture of cultures, experience, people and places. We have something for everyone.
The site isn’t one I’d want to go to twice- but, then again, I prefer substance over sugar coating.
What do you think?

1 Million dollars? If I would have voted for the people that approved this, I would be following them around and screaming at them.

Nice photography on the site. I wonder who “donated” it all, because I know I was asked to donate my work to the DDC.

Pelting officials with rotten vegetables needs to come back into vogue.
