I just want to add that Easton is a fine mall and Columbus is one of the most beautiful and feature rich metro in America. There is no horrible traffics found in larger cities, yet benefited by Ohio State and being a smaller size city, it has gorgeous downtown, Short North, several fine malls, suburbs, mid-size airport, even served by the cheapest airlines in US as the hub (Skybus.com). Combined with concerts and sporting events regularly held due to the intellectual and cultural power of the 2nd largest university (we have seen from Four Tenors to Chris Rock performing in the world class basketball arena of OSU), and the elite Buckeye football team, and the many fine clubs and watering holes, Columbus is definitely the nicest city I had lived, better than places such as NYC (dirtiest city in america, full of immigrants and ppl don't know how to speak English, and tourists, and the scariest and grossest public transportation system, and the traffic), San Francisco (materialism, traffic, really really weird people), DC (too much gov employees and Lincoln Executives TownCar), LA (traffic), Chicago (winter+traffic+price), Atlanta (like Detroit, ewwwww), Dallas (no big university), Austin (too small), Oklahoma City, Detroit (ewww), San Diego (overpriced), etc. Only things I hate is the cruel winter and the often cloudy days.
