Columbus got an F - how did YOUR city do? - May 02 03:00 PM
The American Lung Association does not grade on a curve! 
Los Angeles (weighted average 80.8 days of ozone)  got an F on their air.  So did Columbus Ohio (weighted average 6 days of ozone.)  Of course we've heard about Los Angeles smog and ozone for years.  No surprise there at all.  I heard that the number two city was Pittsburgh PA.  Surprise!  Then I heard Cincinnati, Cleveland and Indianapolis all got F's. 
I thought I was listening ...

Columbus, a Nice Place to Live & Visit!!! - Oct 02 12:07 PM
                                                                             In a twist on the phrase "a nice place to visit but you wouldn't want to live there..." Columbus has occasionally been written of as a nice place to live but you would not want to visit here...
In September the New York Times wrote about Columbus in the Travel section as "a midwestern style capital"
"Most travelers don’t give much thought to Ohio. But in the last few years, Columbus has undergone a transformation. ...

Columbus "is cool" for kids - Sep 22 05:05 AM

Forbes.com says of the methodology and rankings of the US cities:

How does your city rank for singles? - Sep 21 07:07 AM
"Best Cities For Singles" is on Forbes.com It was published in August. I would not have even noticed the list if not for an article in "The Other Paper" about 24 year old Paul Hamm (an Olympic gymnast) being Columbus Most Eligible Bachelor.  Wonder what the difference is between Paul Hamm and his twin brother Morgan?

Columbus Ohio Nicknames... - Nov 12 11:32 AM
Columbus Ohio has a number of nicknames.  I have seen some nicknames for Columbus Ohio... some current, some historical which seem more like tag lines or slogans for Columbus Ohio than nicknames...
Examples:
Joe is short for Joseph
Tom is a nickname for Thomas
Mo is a nickname for Maureen... I guess not all nicknames that stick are short for the real name of a person or placc but some "nicknames" I've read   like "The Discovery City" ....  to me that is more of a ...

It's a Bloodbath and Time to Swim with Sharks - Jul 17 10:27 AM
What is going on in the Columbus Ohio investment market right now is a terrible thing.  Terrible, that is, if you are overextended.  Terrible if you are trying to sell investment property at retail prices.  Terrible if you don't have a source of funds.

Central Ohio 'Neighborhood Prices Slide' - Aug 03 07:21 AM

An article about Columbus making PMI's list of one of the 10 Least Risky markets in the US caught my eye.

"Even so, all neighborhoods are not equal. Some pockets of central Ohio, such as Clintonville, Upper Arlington and Powell, saw swift price increases during the earlier part of this decade and have ...
