Opinion: Columbus Has Its Day
It seems like national news can’t get enough of Columbus. And with amazing spotlights like the latest from the Wall Street Journal, who can blame them?

The parts of downtown that once went dead after 6:00 p.m. are now the vibrant parts of town that have luxury apartments, condos, businesses, restaurants, bars — you name it. The city’s 1,300 acre commercial district is bigger than downtown Boston and the Chicago Loop combined, according to research from Hamilton, Rabinovitz & Alschuler.
“We’re a flyover city in a lot of people’s minds,” said developer Mark Wagenbrenner. “Until they get here.”
