I really like Columbus, even though it has a rather Wonder Bread sort of
ethnic make-up. ( Believe me, when I moved there in 1971 it was far more of
a cow town than it is now.) I grew up near Pittsburgh and I have family in
the eastern suburbs of Cleveland. Both places have far more ethnic
diversity and better food than Columbus. I live in Cincinnati now, and
about 80% of the city is of German descent. There are some good bakeries
here, but the city has a very regressive mentality. I guess you always want
what you don't have. When I lived in Columbus, I shopped in Cincinnati.
Now, I go to Columbus to shop and do touristy sort of things - like a going
to Easton or Polaris. Since it is a central point between Eastern Ohio,
Cleveland, and Cincinnati, we use Columbus as a family gathering place when
we want to meet on a Saturday or Sunday, but don't want to spend the entire
day in the car.
