you wish..... First they got W.Robins Stats before they can even be compared with Macon, the only reason Columbus stand as well as it do is because the city is combine with the county.....So just think if Macon is standing along compares just as well as Columbus and etc. imagine how its going to stack when the plans to consolidate finalizes.....

And it will still be 40-50,000 people smaller than Columbus....this is ridiculous. You don't see me belittling other cities. People attack Columbus for some strange reason. All I do is throw back facts and info to prove them wrong.

This has gotten so ridiculous that its funny. BTW, I agree that Columbus is not very urban. Its quite spread out. I'm afraid Macon has Columbus on that one. However, a two story mall won't make Macon any better than Columbus. Neither will Warner Robbins. haha

Ummm...in the context of what each person considers urban, yes you can. Atlanta is urban to me. In comparison, Columbus is not. If I were to compare Columbus to Hinesville, Columbus would appear to be the more urban of the two. Get it?

Your facts don't prove anything. They do nothing to change people's perceptions of Columbus. That is what this discussion has become about, perceptions.

But when people say things that simply aren't true.....I like to show them how they are wrong. Your opinion is...of course...you opinion, but making false statements about something is ridiculous.
