Columbus

Pros: Quite a few attractions for a medium-size city. Easy to get around.
Cons: Some rough neighborhoods and urban decay, but I've seen a lot worse!

When I first visited Columbus I expected it to be a Rust Belt City down on its luck. Visualize Cleveland without a lakefront (eek!). However, I was surprised to find a place with many big-city attractions that was easy to explore and had lots to offer. ...

Pros: Lots to do
Cons: It's not a tropical island

Columbus, Ohio, well there is a place I know a whole lot about. Both from a resident's stand point and a frequent visitor. You see I lived in Columbus until I was 12 years old. Then my parents, my brother, my sister, and myself moved here to IL. My...

Pros: Variety of shops, food, & entertainment!
Cons: Amount of walking!

I visited my daughter Heather who lives in Columbus, Ohio during the holiday season. When she asked me which shopping centers and stores I wanted to visit, I was amazed at the long list of choices! Since I live in Beckley, West Virginia, we have very...

Pros: excellent shopping, entertainment, and restaurants
Cons: in the middle of nowhere, requires car/cab

Last week my employer sent me to Columbus, Ohio for a series of design meetings. They had me stay at the Residence Inn Easton (see my review of the hotel at http://quasar.epinions.com/content_14727876228). This gave me the chance to explore Easton. I...

Pros: Nice place to raise a family, interesting history
Cons: Not much to do after dark

Review Topic:  Overview

Westerville, my hometown, is a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. It is located a dozen or so miles northeast of downtown Columbus. Tonight, as a part of IrishMa4’s hometown write-off, I will share some things...

Pros: Affordable housing, safe, clean, restaurants galore
Cons: weather, housing appreciation, boring days

Columbus is my hometown and (yawn) it is a safe, clean, place to live. The city is the capital of Ohio and centered in the middle of the state in Franklin County (i.e. dead center in the rust belt of the nation). The census bureau population estimate ...

Pros: amazing displays and exhibits
Cons: too much to do in one day

This museum in Columbus is brand new. There are no exhibits from the old museum. It is much bigger and more exciting. It is a must see.

My daughter and I skipped work and school yesterday to go and we were not disappointed. This is the second...

Pros: Is and always be a home for me...
Cons: Construction traffic!!!!

Pros: The layout of the city around the "infamous 270" is very organized.
Cons: There is not enough cultural diversity.

I moved to Columbus, OH to teach high school biology. I trusted that I would have a stable career and future. I moved from Pittsburgh, PA. I thought this would be a similar environment to Pittsbugh, PA since it is the next largest metropolis west ...

Pros: It's all going to turn out great eventually, right?
Cons: They're trapping us like lab rats in little mazes that have no exits

It's becoming plain and simple to me: Columbus has hatched a devious plan. Their population has finally made the city the largest in Ohio, surpassing Cleveland and Cincinnati. Columbus has even been named the fifteenth largest city in the United...

Pros: 55 bars within 3 miles on High Street.
Cons: The rest of the city, by and large.

Columbus, if you believe the official accounting, is one of the larger cities in America. In a sense this is so, but the reality is that it is a collection of several different neighborhoods that don't interface much. I lived there for twenty-odd years...

Pros: Service, customized food(if you like that kind of thing), and atmosphere.
Cons: Some people do not like to combine their own ingredients, and as far as I know, all of the many cooks are male.

I have been to this restaurant twice, and I can't imagine that it will take me long to eat there again. It is located on 6542 Sawmill Road, and their phone number is (216) 932-1185.

Let me tell you about my first dinner at BD's. My father and...

Pros: Unique
Cons: none

On September 10, 2000, the nationally acclaimed NHL (Columbus Blue Jackets Hockey) and NLL (Columbus LandSharks LaCrosse) arena opened its' doors for the first time, but not for a hockey game...

Pros: Longaberger fans will love it; family-friendly
Cons: You will need a lot of self-control not to buy everything in sight

I have long been a collector and admirer of Longaberger Baskets, Pottery and accessories, but until recently I didn't have the opportunity to visit the Longaberger homeland in central Ohio. Now that I have been there, I intend to go...

Pros: My kind of town
Cons: We got cows!!!!!!

I was born in this town and likely I will die here, although the sun, sand and sea beckon me. How would I best entice someone to visit our little cow town? Hard to say - we aren't that different than many other towns, except as the capital of the...
