4 of which won the Pritzker Prize Award. Columbus,IN theme is architecture. The residents there take serious pride of the city's architectural heritage. Source: Columbus, Indiana Convention and Visitors Bureau
This Indy suburb is far from crappy not bad for being the 6th most innovative in the nation.
Columbus, Indiana is an awesome little city and deserves it's national reputation for architectural design. However, calling a Columbus an Indy suburb is a huge stretch!

Not really. Plenty of employment traffic between barth county up into southern marion county. From the southport rd exit, you can be in cbus in a little over 20 minutes. Im 15 min from cbus. To put it in perspective, you will get to the airport in as much time it takes to get to cbus.
Indy is just like columbus same frreway system type, same malls restaurants, same kind of downtown and even same radio stations. Saying columbus is like a suburb is like saying indy is like a suburb.

Then you know nothing about the area yet you try to down one place in order to uplift cincy. Guess what indy and cincy have a similar highway system. Columbus only has 65 and it doesn' even go straight through, it's west of the city center. No skyscrapers in columbus, no designated districts, no separate area for hotels like 3rd/4th coming straight off the expressway. And the list goes on and on.
Bty cbus is in the indianapolis media market so of course it's going to have the exact same television and radio stations. That's kind of a no brainer.

I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt that you just misread it, knowing that they were talking about Columbus, Indiana makes your argument much worse in my opinion. Suburb-wise it is pushing it though...
That being said, Cincy would be my top choice out of these three.

Not really, Bartholomew County has enough employment to where the majority of its residents can live in the same county, would be the only difference. Columbus' employment reach is actually far southern Marion County, through Johnson County and parts of SW Shelby County. Franklin (Johnson County Seat) south has a higher rate that matriculate into Columbus (Bartholomew is the county south of Johnson) because of Cummins than Columbus people drive into Johnson County or Franklin residents that drive into Indianapolis. Greenwood, for the most part drives into Indianapolis, Franklin does not.
For another perspective, Columbus is closer to Indianapolis than place like Farmington and a slew of other burbs are closer to St. Louis.

Sure, I guess it is more a matter of semantics in my head then anything. I know how CSAs are formed so that isn't up for debate, and Columbus is in Indy's, and Farmington is in St. Louis's. I guess I just prefer the term separate commuter city as it fits better to CSAs for me, whereas suburbs I always count just in the MSA (I know the literal definition of a suburb works for either though). Since you brought up St. Louis and Farmington, when I used to live in St. Louis I can't imagine a single person thinking of Farmington as a suburb of St. Louis. Do people share this in Indy? When I look at Columbus on a map it would be about halfway to Cincy if it was on 74 instead of 65.
