Columbus buzz post

From Walkable Neighborhoods, a site that “promotes livable, walkable communities that are vibrant, unique, and economically viable places to live, work, and play” (and also sells homes):

Columbus is my second favorite city in the Midwest, behind the obvious pick of Chicago. Columbus has an incredible energy, and my prediction is that within 10 years, people will be talking about Columbus all over the country. The Short North has a lot to do with the success of Columbus, and that’s where I shot this photo.

The Short North is my favorite arts district in the country. It is right on the edge of Downtown Columbus and the Arena District. Sure, it does not have the big name museums like other large cities, but the indie scene here is quite fun.

Take that, Indianapolis!

    Thanks for the shout out, Brian. I’ve been to Indianapolis several times in the last few years. And while they’ve made significant strides in walkability, Columbus is my pick. I’ve heard the opposite from a lot of people - perhaps they are suburbanites.

    I have not been to Minneapolis or Milwaukee recently, so perhaps they can give Columbus a run for its money.

    Thanks, w. I’ve been to Indianapolis exactly once. Hopefully it’s improved since then. :)
