Then someone from here will come up with something spectacular. Then Fahlhgren will ask to use it.

...Alternative to Cleveland.
A great place to find yourself.
Or: Find yourself in Columbus.
A great place to live the high life
I think something like
'the Heartland Sophisticated'
would be cool.
Not that food is all of it, but there are a lot of really cool food related things happening here.
They should license Jeni's marketing. I think her team does a wonderful job with beautiful marketing about using Ohio's land to make awesome products.
a great place for an identity crisis.
no longer living in our parent's (Cinn. and Clev.) basement.
not just football, women's underwear, and body lotion, though come to think of it, that makes me hot.
home of the drag queens, not just a drag
one event away from respectability
Columbus: we're desperate and easy, now with less STD's though I hear we have a bed bug problem.
you may have slept with our mayor, cool huh?
I went to Columbus and all I got was this stupid marketing survey and a new motto.
I live in Columbus by choice, it's not just for college
a couple of hours drive to really cool places
Stuck in the middle with you
Stolen from Thomas Pynchon: " where Superman goes when he needs to be Clark Kent"

You're kind of terrible at MadLibs.

You're kind of terribly mean on here.
Columbus:
A great place to tell someone how much you like the LeVeque Tower
A Greater state capitol compared to Zanesville and Chillicothe.
The Birthplace of Beverly D'Angelo!
A Greater state capitol compared to Zanesville and Chillicothe.
and we have a winner!
A place to afford luxury living
Like San Diego with snow!
Ameriflora to ignore
I was working on a project a couple months back, and came across this video of Zurich, Switzerland. This is essentially a marketing video for the city. But I can't help but appreciate the effectiveness of it.

So I was thinking, what if Columbus worked on marketing itself to
other countries. Most of the world has never heard of Columbus, so it's basically a blank canvass. Whereas many Americans already have their preconceived view of Columbus, which will just have to evolve over time. Tapping into a more international market, with a very high quality marketing campaign, might help with the image of the city with foreigners.
Some buzz words that I think Zurich and Columbus both share are:
Creative
Diversity
Agriculture
Small Cosmopolitan Metropolis
Quality of Life
In the Heart
International
I would never think these two places would share some same qualities, but in fact they do. This could be inspirational...maybe...
Columbus: a Great town in which to eat!
I liked your post, Colrex7.
But really, Columbus IS a Great Blank to Blank. I don't think that can be improved upon. It's already true.
A great bottom line to underscore?
It's a great place to be a big fish in a small pond.
It's a great place to do whatever you want because no one else is doing it yet.
It's a great VOID to CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE.
It's the Fool Card in the tarot deck.
there was a speaker at TEDxColumbus 2010 who mentioned that people from other countries have remembered Columbus for its blue skies and squirrels.
So... Columbus, a great place to watch squirrels while eating Jeni's Ice Cream, outside under blue skies, with arches. On a bike. A fixie bike. With Mayor Coleman. While playing Euchre. In front of your remarkably affordable house. With all your GBLT friends. And Arnold Schwartzenegger.
