Columbus vs. Cinti.:

- 7/16/2021
Lived in Cinti. and on UC faculty for over 40 years. The best move of my life is to have retired and left Cinti. for Tucson. In academics OSU far outranks UC and the city is as unimaginative a place as I've ever seen. Follows the "ten-year rule"; wait a decade until other cities have tried new ideas first then try them (and claim credit). The Bengals, for those who care, are perpetual losers that play in a stadium Hamilton County will never pay off. CSO is good but never great. Overall, Cinti. is and always has been mediocre. Columbus is dynamic and growing and OSU is one of the top-ranked public universities in the country (vs. mid-third-tier UC). Franklin County has not wasted tax-payer funds building stadiums for losing sports teams. Have a grown child in Columbus so I am familiar with the city. If I had to move back to OH I would choose Columbus and avoid Cinti. like the plague. The weather in both is about the same except Cinti. is subject to more tornadoes.
