Cincinnati vs Columbus
Definition
A legendary, often humorous, regional rivalry between the two largest urban centers in Ohio, characterized by debate over which city possesses superior culture, chili, infrastructure, and urban identity.
A socio-economic comparison between Cincinnati (the historic, hill-laden river city) and Columbus (the rapidly growing, sprawling capital city).
Examples
Choosing between Cincinnati and Columbus is like deciding whether you want your chili served on a plate or buried in a corporate tax incentive.
Cincinnati residents firmly believe that if their city does not have seven hills, it is simply not a city, whereas Columbus residents are busy adding another lane to a highway that will still be under construction for the next decade.
The debate of Cincinnati vs Columbus usually ends in a stalemate, mostly because we are all tired of arguing and just want to go get a drink.
While Cincinnati claims the title of the 'Paris of the Midwest,' Columbus is quietly outproducing everyone in the art of building vast, identical parking lots.
