This episode of the "Then What Happened" podcast features unabashed Columbus cheerleader Gregg Dodd.
Raised in Toledo, the Columbus Metropolitan Library marketing chief tells host Amelia Robinson that he fell in love with Ohio's capital 20 years ago.
The romance has only gotten better.
From restaurants to the art scene to the city's diverse neighborhoods, Dodd says Columbus has a sophisticated vibe and "grit."
Add in the friendliness of its residents, and Columbus offers newcomers an inviting place to chase their dreams.
But Dodd does see areas where the city could improve, especially in transportation — he wants to see rail now — and affordable housing.
