Columbus




Anyone who knows me knows I'm the number-one fan of my hometown. In general I'd say we're a great city for diversity and genuine integration, liberal religion, and artistic creativity. We're known for having one of nation's best social service networks. We have a under-the-radar reputation for underground hip-hop and independent comics. And, (quiet as it's kept) Columbus is also a great place to get authentic ethnic food of all types at very cheap prices. I'd say our biggest weaknesses are horrible-public-transportation and more-talent-than-audience. We also need to do a better job with recycling and bringing people in to the city from the suburbs. Here are some things Columbus has received national (or international) recognition for:

  1. Arts & Humanities

  2. Diversity


  3. Economy

  4. Science & Technology

  5. Overall


  6. Galleries

    • William H Thomas Gallery - Having served the community for over twenty-five years on the Near East side (the "African Village"), WHTG has supported or launched the careers of many local black artists with national reputations, including Aminah Robinson, Smokey Brown, Roman Johnson and many others.
    • Kiaca Gallery - An innovative gallery bringing together African and African-American artists, under the direction of Talle Bamazi, a talented artist with an international following.
