"Vlad Litvinov's Columbus page" a Columbus Travel Page by vladlitvinov

Columbus bears a title of the 'most average' American city. They say, before launching of a new product, they test it in a statistically 'most average' Columbus. I have heard, the first McChicken was tested here. I am not sure if it's true or not, but I really was able to get that 'averageness' of Columbus. Apart of Columbus, I happened to visit Chicago and Orlando, and I got a feeling that Columbus was indeed somewhere in between Chicago and Orlando. While Orlando seemed a cheerful 'happy place', Columbus looked rather more quiet and residential. Its business life, on the other hand, was not that apparent and sharp as Chicago's life. Indeed, Columbus seemed as being the 'most average'. (On the picture: Head Office of Bank One in Columbus, place of my 2000 summer practice).
