Columbus is much bigger than Dayton Ohio where I moved here from 4 months ago It seems very fast paced for the midwest - even compared to Cincy or Lexington or Indy everything revolves around OSU and OSU football 
It seems to be - so far anyway- unfriendly - lacking a soul - there's a lot of stuff to do here and people are nice if u actually get to talk to them - but life is on flash-forward Everything is highways. you take a highway to get everywhere - kinda odd it;s a money city - a lot of wealth here & relatively good economy - even the poor slouches drive Accords 
.... and of course the Blue Jackets. Columbus is kind of an odd city. The happenings and social life is out in the burbs I guess. Downtown Columbus has changed so much in the last 20-30 years, they have done a good job getting a 'nightlife' to downtown with concerts, events at the river, the arena with games and concerts and events, etc. a lot more restaurants, oh and don't forget the new baseball field! So basically if you aren't into sports or bars you are outta luck, except for the occasional concerts here and there. I love trying to get out of downtown when there is something going on 
Check out The Weekender from the Dispatch - it has a listing of events downtown and all around Columbus. I think they still have the Gallery Hops - first weekend of every month - in the Short North - it's worth it -- once!
The Franklin Park Conservatory is beautiful too. ....and I'm a poor slouch - I do drive an Accord
thanks! did u used to live here? I agree, it is an odd city. I do have a hankering tho to see the Blue Jackets and the Crew - if there is a baseball team I'll get there I'm sure. Still a fan of the Dayton Dragons at the moment |

this town has some blacktop roads,some brick ones and some that are still dirt. running water to most houses and most have electric. theres not much to do in the summer time you can go downtown and watch the grass grow in the sidewalk cracks. but at nite they roll the sidewalks up. most of the downtown area is empty bulidings. they went out after the chinamart came to town. theres not much work in the area,so most people work in other citys. yep just another small town that is dyeing a slow death. yep nice place to get gas and go on your way.oh ya you can get a taco bell order as you leave town. Didn't Dorothy and Toto live close to you!?  Maybe your town could build on that...

Chattanooga Tennessee,
Chattanooga is located in the southeast corner of the state, near the state lines of Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina. It's rich in Civil War history and has rivers, mountains, lakes and stream. The city has made an amazing turn around since the 60's when it was designated as "one of the worst cities" in America to live. The title came from the terrible air pollution that was almost constantly visible, being that Chattanooga lies in a valley. Since the 60's, there has been much improvement in air quality as well as development and revitalization of the downtown area, especially along both sides of the river downtown. It steadily attracts tourism and is known as "The Scenic City". There's plenty to see and do for all ages and types. If you like hiking, camping, rafting, kayaking, water skiing, or even hang gliding or spelunking, you'll find it close by. There's also the symphony, a sports arena, museums, fine dining as well as a new world class aquarium. People are friendly, the weather is usually moderate, and the area's attracting new business regularly. A new Volkswagon plant was recently built here and just went online. It's not a bad place to live and I've lived in Seattle, Los Angeles, Taos NM., Orlando, Denver, Colorado Springs and Chicago.

Michigan - The Great Lakes State.
We are home of the Detroit Red Wings!! . 11/time Stanley Cup Championships and the famous tradition of throwing octopi on the ice. That tradition started in 1952 by two brothers, Pete & Jerry Cusimano. They owned the Eastern Market in Detroit; which is still a very popular place to shop for fresh fruits and veggies. The eight legged octopi was symbolic because each tentacle represented a win in the playoffs. Back then the NHL carried only six teams. Best of seven was needed to win the Stanley Cup. They swept the series and the octopi found a new home on the Detroit Red Wings ice. Along with their 11 Championships they have 24 Stanley Cup Finals, 10 Conference Finals, 6 President's trophies, 28 Division Championships and 58 Playoff Appearences. My town is a quite small/city/urban setting. Most of my neighbors are friendly, kind and considerate. I'm about 1/2 hour from Detroit so I go downtown for adventure. The rest of Michigan offers some pretty spactuclar places. Being the Great Lakes State any type of water activity is no more than a short drive. Mid Michigan is pretty much a metropolis of big Business, shops and hustle and bustle. But heading north along the coast and it turns into a wonderland. Horseback riding along the pristine crystal clear waters of the AuSable River is like being on another planet. We have some very beautiful waterfalls and collecting the infamous Petoskey Stone is a wonderful way to spend a day. If you are into Lighthouses, there are an abundance of them. There is dog sledding in the Upper Penninsula or visit Mackinac Island for some of the best fudge in the United States. There is a "no car" policy there; so when you travel you go by foot, bicycle or horse drawn carriage. If you are a sailor, Alpena offers a trip along the Sunrise Coast where you can sail a "Tall Ship" and suit up for a dive and explore the areas 200 shipwrecks. |

I failed to mention that I'm a wimp when it comes to poisonous snakes & spiders, crocks, gators, jellyfish and sharks. Michigan has the brown recluse spider that we have to watch out for, the michigan rattler found up north and maybe a black widow or two. We have a wonderful Elk population found in the UP, lots of deer, bear, coyotee, a cougar population that is on the rise <eeks> and the thing I'm most scared of....skunks

Well, I'm from Some Town You Never Heard Of, Florida. It's a quaint little village not far from Some Town You've Probably Heard Of. Not really a lot goin for us here, but we do have inverted inclines and super fog. If you ever find yourself bored, you can wander aimlessly through the orange groves until you stumble upon a bumble, and call it a day.
