Review of Columbus, Indiana


What, no mega-mall?! From San Jose CA
Star Rating - 6/4/2006
Columbus is a great town to raise a family. The lack of a mega-mall is not an obstacle to good living in my humble opinion. Although, if shopping is your thing, there is a JC Penney at the same mall another poster referred to, a Target and a Premium Outlets (just like in Gilroy) on the outskirts of town. In addition to better per student funding, lower student to teacher, student to librarian and student to counselor ratios, Columbus offers one of the most progressive, caring and aesthetically beautiful hospitals as well as a hospice system that should be the model for every state in America. They do drive fast...being a native Californian I thought I was ready for it, but I'm moving over to the slow lane! They also let you in when you need to merge, wave or say hi even if they don't know you, have a polished downtown and are a quick 45 minute drive to Indianapolis.
