10. What other people say about Columbus
“The Buckeye State’s capital—affordable, bustling, and young, with a big chunk of its population squarely under 40—is seeing an uptick in interest as a destination for the nation’s hipster elite, whether it's to live or explore over a long weekend.” National Geographic Traveler
“It's not a stretch to call Columbus the "Nashville of the Midwest." Beyond a vibrant songwriting community (catch rising stars at Natalie's Coal Fired Pizza), you'll see live acts at many restaurants, jazz clubs, and various venues around town.” Southern Living
