(I guess I'm just gonna have to steal up to C-Bus and let some cows outta their pens. That should deflate this new guy's "body" count...)

Ya, Cincinnati will just stop in it's tracks while Columbus grows into half the city Cincinnati already is.

Pontiac is obviously having his morning glass of hater-ade. Well, enough for now. I'm off to the opening day parade, mmmmm....wonder what's going on in columbus today.

When you look at the distance between the 2 counties, the loss of population in Hamilton County, the high unemployment in the region along with the gas prices, it will be a long time before Dayton is added to the Cincinnati CSA. It probably won't happen!
I know you are new and all and maybe a troll just to try to get your licks in. But several of us has been following this for the past couple of decades. The exchange rate is not just between the two biggest counties.

Interesting that you want to include Dayton in all this, but Mason (and any other fringe suburb) seems to be the unwanted step-child.

Yeah, TomJones123, maybe we oughta' cut this newcomer some slack while we all head down to Opening Day. Meanwhile he can probably find something exciting to do in C-Bus like watch the corn grow, maybe... (last year I heard they had a sold out grass-growing contest right down on High Street...and the year before that a no-holds barred dandelion-picking face-off somewhere up on Broad...but nothin' topped that rip-roaring "Grand Slam Tractor-Pull" staged right on the Oval several years ago--heard that really brought the crowd to its feet...) Later, you guys!

So just where did Mason enter this latest discussion? But I will say it is nice to be envied so you have to be ridiculed even without participation.

Cincinnati is not becoming second fiddle to Columbus. Outside of the state, Columbus has yet to shed its image of being an overgrown college cowtown. From my experiences, a lot of people place Columbus in the same category as cities such as Madison, WI and Ann Arbor, MI; albeit not accurate. Columbus is a great city however, but it is not taken seriously as a contender of "real cities" by many people, even within Ohio. You never or rarely hear anyone inquiring whether or not Cincinnati is a real city. With Columbus, that is not so much the case since a lot of people have no clue about Columbus outside of OSU.
I've actually never heard Columbus residents or transplants from other states and cities refer to it as a "Cowtown". That is something you hear almost exclusively by people from other Ohio cities as a way to marginalize its success and growth. Read the Dispatch comment section, you see it just about every day, usually from Cincinnati/Cleveland residents. And on many of these urban forums, I've seen Columbus mentioned by plenty of people outside of Ohio, usually in a positive light. It seems wishful thinking by some that Columbus has such a negative, small-town image outside of the state.

I actually met a few people from Ohio here in Mexico City, and people who have been there who are from other places in the US and other countries. One guy in particular was from Sweden and stated he had friends in Columbus and loved it there.

The only real comparison between Ann Arbor and Columbus is that they both have large, signature universities. Other than that, they're really night and day as far as size, influence, population, etc.
