I really liked the city of Columbus, so for those of you who have never been there, let me try to explain it's charm.
It's a classic Midwestern city with a good enough population (about 730,000) to have some cool things, without being too big.
It has the university which pretty much dominates everything.
But it also has a lot of things that keep alumni, like Daren in the area after graduation. Hey SU alums, could you imagine settling in Syracuse?
There are some major employers, AEP & Nationwide, as well as four major hospitals, that add money to the city.
It has college bars and restaurants, but it also has more upscale places, in the Arena district, where the Columbus Blue Jackets of the NHL play their games.
And of course it has the older alumni who keep coming back year after year.
The real estate market is good, affordable but a good investment.
I would equate Columbus to cities like Austin, Texas and Charlottesville, Virginia, college towns, with other things around to attract people.
