You know how there are things that certain cities are known for......or that "make them well-known"? Well, sometimes there are smaller, more not-so-known things that cities take pride in that also make them stand out. Here are some of the things for COWlumbus.......
--The first Wendy's restaurant was built here. (It was recently torn down due to poor management.) And the original CEO of the chain, Dave Thomas (R.I.P.), had his home here.
--The original Max & Erma's restaurant is here. (Although I think it's just a midwest, and possibly east coast chain.)
--The Nationwide Insurance headquarters is.....well......about 10 blocks away from where I'm sitting.
--The technology for the Xerox machine was created here.
--There is a full-sized replica of the Santa Maria on the outskirts of downtown on the Scioto River. During Halloween "ghost pirates" take over the ship.
--As of a couple years ago the city was ranked as having the country's 4th largest gay population in the country. A few years ago we had over 25 gay bars.
What about your city?
