 Discovering Columbus | Chicago Tribune
Columbus isn't a town, however; it's a city big enough to keep its enthusiasms separated, so that even when 100,000-plus fans converge in one area, plenty more thousands of residents go to lots of places somewhere else.
So here we have Columbus with a population close to 730,000--a city larger, by that measure, than Boston, Cleveland, Las Vegas or Seattle, to name a few examples--ranking 15th in the U.S. And yet...the Cubs, Sox, Bulls and Bears can't play a Columbus home team.
This was a Columbus I hadn't yet seen--acres of cars, smoke in the air, incessant noise, red clothes and fervid devotion to a bunch of heroes who might not stick around long enough to graduate.
