Fairborn
Fairborn is what happens when two towns, Fairfield and Osborn, marry for tax reasons and never quite finish merging. The dating pool reflects the arrangement. Wright State undergrads who treat Kettering as the big city, and Wright-Patt personnel who measure dates in TDY windows. Coffee at Foy's Half Acre, dinner along Broad Street, and an unspoken rule that anyone who says "the base" without specifying which gate is bluffing. The deal here is straightforward. You will date someone in uniform, someone studying engineering, or someone who left and came back. Pick your branch, pick your major, pick your story, and pick up the check.
