What is there to do in Cbus for a Balt/DC transplant?

FYI...Easton Mall will soon become the biggest mall in the world. It will soon be the size of the Ohio State University Campus which is the largest university in the United States. You could say shopping is kind of a big deal around here! Another thing I love are the numberous parks and bike trails everywhere throughout the city and suburbs.

And for the record, the District's unemployment rate is exactly what Columbus's is: 7.4% (source: washingtonpost.com). The DC region as a whole is just over 4%, but of course DC has the best economic insulator of any U.S. city: the federal government.

Good feedback 14th....
