[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you like white flight suburbs with nice houses, lots of green spaces, and plenty of convenient, if uncharming, commercial areas, you will like it. I say that as someone who kind of likes those things....[/quote]

This is one thousand percent true. It’s very ‘quaint’ in a suburban, everything is a chain, convenient and easy kind of way.

That all being said the Dublin Irish festival is perhaps one of my favorite events in the US.

Wendy’s is based there and you can get paid to try weird experimental Wendy’s food.[/quote]

NP with a slight veer to add that I remember that Columbus was historically a test market area for all types of foods and food packaging. Stores would be stocked with new products first in Columbus. Perhaps still the same. [/quote]

Yes! I grew up there and forgot about this until now. We would have really fun stuff in our local Kroger and would receive samples of new products in the mail without even signing up for anything. They would include a little postcard that you would mail back with your opinion. This was in the 80s to early 90s. I remember chips, laundry detergent, cookies, and some other things. My dad was notorious for eating samples straight from the mailbox and ate those chips that were infamous for giving everyone diarrhea before anyone else could warn him! I believe the idea was that the demographics of Columbus at the time were a perfect reflection of demographics of the nation. We also lived near Dublin and Wendy’s headquarters so there were always a few neighborhood families who worked at corporate HQ and would give out free Wendy’s coupons for trick-or-treat and at school events.[/quote]
