| | Tuesday, January 30, 2001 - 01:10 pm COLUMBUS? IF U AINT IN COLUMBUS THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU.I HAVE LIVED BOSTON AND MINNEAPOLIS BEFORE. THEY SUCK WHEN IT COMES TO HOUSING. BELEIVE ME COLUMBUS IS CHEAP THAT YOU GONNA LOVE IT. IT'S TRUE WALAAHI TWO BEAUTIFUL BEDROOMS IS JUST $440- PLUSIF YOU ARE LUCKY YOU MAY GOT FIRST MONTH FOR FREE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY RENTAL HISTORY..DEPOSIT IS ..GUESS? $99. YES LIFE IS ALSO CHEAP AND AFFORDABLE. MOST PEOPLE IN COLUMBUS STAY INDOORS BECOUSE THEY HAVE PLACES TO REST UNLIKE MINNESOTA. NO CROWDED HOUSES OR HAVING THE YELLOW PAAGE AS YOUR PILLOW!!!!! ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT, YES WE DO HAVE GREAT MOVIE THEATRES AND BEAUTIFUL MALLS. TPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS NON EXISTENT HERE. I THINK THIS HAS TO DO WITH COLUMBUS HAVING SO MANY CAR DEEALERS AND EVERY ONE HAVING HIS OR HER OWN CAR. ABOUT JOBS? OK WE KNOW SOMALIS WE AINT GET THAT MANY SKILLS BUT IF YOU HAVE GOOD COMMAND OF ENGLISH AND ATLEAST HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE YOU CAN WORK IN BANKS, AGENCIES, SCHOOLS, DECENT BLUE COLLAR JOBS. IF YOU ARE COLLEGE GRADUATE, BELEIVE ME THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE. COLUMBUS IF BUILDING AND IT'S NICE PLACE. NO VIOLENCE AND NO BULLSHIT HERE. SOMALIS ARE ALL WORKING AND SURVIVING HERE . YEAH WE HAVE MANY FACTORY JOBS THAT PAY ABOUT $9.50 TO $ 14.00. BUT HEY SINCE LIFE IS SO CHEAP THAT MAKES SENSE. YEAH WE DON'T PARTY A LOT AND THAT TOO IS GOOD. ONE THING I DON'T LIKE IS PLACES LIKE CAPITAL PARK AND SOUTH PARK. PEOPLE ARE NOW REALIZING CHEAP PUBLIC HOUSES HAVE THEIR NEGATIVE SIDES. THESE PLACES ARE LIKE GHETTO AND YOU CAN TELL THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE . BUT HEY PLACES LIKE NORTH COLUMBUS, DUBLIN AND GAHANNA WERE MANY SOMALIS ARE MOVING TOO ARE REALLY BEAUTIFUL. ABOUT EDUCATION AND SCHOOLS YES IT'S TRUE MOT SOMALIS GO TO COLUMBUS COLLEGE BUT OHIO STATE IS WELL RESPECTED AND GOOD SCHOOL. THEN THERE IS FRANKLIN AND OTHER SCHOOLS. WHAT MORE YOU NEED. I LIKE COLUMBUS, AAND I WISH I WAS HERE BEFORE.

| | Tuesday, January 30, 2001 - 06:08 pm Columbus is a little bit of country, a little bit of city, a little bit of ghetto-you'll find everything here. Moving from California eh? Well come on over, but let me warn you bro-drive at your own risk-worst drivers in the world live righ here in Columbus. Also, I wouldn't exactly call Columbus picturesqe-it ain't no tourist city let me tell ya, but other than that, jobs, cheap livin, and good education you'll find here. I moved here a year and half ago and I remember seeing the "welcome to Columbus" sign as we got off the highway,but flanked by this was a much larger sign that made a greater impression on us:"Welcome to loserville. Population YOU."

The community offers residents a variety of cultural, entertainment, and educational opportunities. And with a rock-bottom unemployment rate, jobs in Greater Columbus are plentiful.

| | Thursday, February 08, 2001 - 01:40 pm I though, I make a drop up in here. From da title of my nick, I represent, Atlanta,GA and the city of horcornes, falcons, braves, and the atl hawks. Atlanta is the most sociable city in U.s, with music tycoos such as So So def, def soul and Laface records residing here in the heart of Atl. Nightlife is beautiful. parks, mountains, theatres and everything, u name it. Speaking of Ohio, and the city of Columbus. I must have being to columbus 5 times in the past 3 yrs and I hanve never though about moving to one moment. I have being living in ATl, Ga for a decade plus now and I am enjoying every minute of it. It helps when the population is 88% black too. At the same time, everyone have some kind of connection to where they live, and honesista have really domenstrated it. Yet it would b boring for me to live in Columbus. Later.
