I will.
It's funny, when I was growing up and then working there shortly after college, I thought it was pretty "average."
Now, that I haven't lived there in years, it seems like just a pretty nice place.
I have a theory that what makes people think a city is "big time" is (unfortunately) a well known major sports franchise.
Columbus doesn't have an NFL, NBA or MLB franchise -- and the reason for that is the amount of sports dollars available. It is surrounded by major league cities in every direction, (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh) within two to three hours drive, and a big expensive franchise might struggle there. (Taking nothing away from the NHL team, etc)
That being said, there are numerous things about Columbus that make it a nice place to visit.
