Review of Columbus, Ohio


People here are not nice.
Star Rating - 12/9/2006
I moved my family here from Houston Texas last year and I have noticed that the people are basically rude, harsh, and unfriendly. I don't know if it is the cold winters, the lack of recreation venues, or the lack of good food. Columbus, has no pro sports, except for Hockey, and they have cornfields all around area. The average guy has a shaved head a gotee' and some kind of tattoo.

All I hear about is Buckeye football, and how this is such a great place to raise a family. But, when I finish my Master's I am out of here. To somewhere warm and friendly!

I do think that people from Texas are the friendliest. I think it is because their social skills are better from staying ooutside more and talking to their neighbors. Most all people from the South have good manners and great social skills. I used to talk to eople from all over the country everyday. The center of rude is Chicago Illinois bad weather keeps people from interracting with their neighbors.
