Small town
-
2/5/2006
I lived in Columbus for a verrrrrrrrrry long year in 1993. It is such a small town that its easy to navigate. Its hard to become a member of the community because everyone is so tight, even at the churches. Cummins is the big company in town and other than that you have to drive to Indianapolis to get any work that pays more than min. wage. Its a pretty slow life, very laid back. It kind of reminds me of the old tv show Green Acres. I cant really say what the schools were like because mine were in day care back then. I do remember my daughter getting into trouble for correcting the teachers lack of proper english (we dont say aint or y'all). The weather was okay and the houses were priced okay. As far as gangs go, I never saw any in Columbus, but you will find them in parts of Indianapolis. The worst thing you are going to find in Columbus is some good ol' boy red necks. Oh yeah, and the local mall is so small it has a K-mart in it as the main store!
