Welcome to the Columbus subforum!

I will move the threads here later on becuase. I have other obligations for the moment, and Lady Celeste is preoccupied.

As with Augusta, I will try to post here when I can. Thanks for the forum!

BTW: I seached the Georgia forum and found only one other topic just about Columbus. "Thoughts on Columbus, GA"

Wow, I can't believe there are now 3 subforums now in Georgia.

Congrats on the new Forum!!!!

What would you like to see as your subtile to the Columbus forum?

for example:

Atlanta's is: The Atlanta Metro

Georgia's is: The Peach State

Many cities use their nickname or a common phrase. We need to put something up there soon, so please give some input!

Here are some nicknames of Columbus that I found on a website.

1) Fountain City, inspired by its numerous fountains.

2) Port City, because it is the northernmost navigable port on the Chattahoochee River.

3) Soft Drink Capital, because the Coca-Cola, Royal Crown, and Nehi formulas were devised by local residents.

4) Georgia

Do not forget, "What progress has preserved." We wasted a lot of money on that slogan.

But which do the locals prefer?

Fountain City is used most often.

I would agree with Fountain City.

[ironchapman]

Fountain City seems the best from my experiences there

I would have to agree that Fountain City is probably the sentimental favorite.

The new fountain recently erected @ RiverCenter and those currently being added to Broadway median in the Streetscapes project will make that nickname even more apt.

I would like to say congratulations to Columbus for it's own forum. There will be so much to discuss.

Does anyone know about how many readers and contributors there are in the Columbus forum?
