Man, I got a real jones to see this city, it's one of the few places I've never been that I have strong interest in going (along with Detroit). I have a strong hunch I'd like it, one of my friends from high school lives there and loves it! Says it's kinda like a northern version of Charlotte...

Aiight so come on nikka, tell us about it lol...
I'll just give the good and bad, randomly.

Well, you definitely need a car in Columbus, as everything is spread out and it is one of the biggest cities without light rail service.

Nightlife is ehh, but I'm 40, so if i ever moved back there, that wouldnt be important to me.

Obviously, it's crazy about the Buckeyes, as i am, but that aint all what Columbus is about.

One of the best Zoos in the country, very reasonable housing prices, Easton Town Center is most everybody favorite place to shop in Columbus(I prefer Polaris).

The city continues to grow. When i moved there, the city proper was around 650k. Now, it's damn near close to 900k.

Downtown is meh, but some of that has to do when the mall downtown closed over a decade and a half ago.

Columbus is odd. Depending on which side of the city your on it's different.

The free Jazz Rib Fest is...:banderas:

If I was going to invest in real estate, it would be in Columbus.

Bow Wow used to get girls at the Rib Fest:mjgrin:

Columbus, Ohio ranks as BEST city in the WORLD

Columbus, Ohio ranks as BEST city in the WORLD

Columbus, as you will read in the below list of awards, is by far the best city in the Country, and, in fact, the World. Unlike every other major city in the world, Columbus, Ohio, has not peaked.

Many cities have seen their heyday and fallen from grace and faltered in their recovery.

Columbus, however, has the best library in the country, the best zoo in the country, the best science center in America, and America’s largest University. This may have led it to being known as the one of the 7 Smartest Cities in the World and why we won the U.S. Department of Transportation $40 million Smart City Challenge. By an act of congress, Columbus became home to the only National Veteran’s Memorial and Museum in America. We have so much potential. We may not be as pretty as Paris or Venice or even New York, but Columbus has personality.
