I stumbled across the City of Columbus fun facts page and expected to find some interesting trivia about Columbus. Most of the list was about Ohio in general or other cities in Ohio. Here's the best they could do on Columbus fun facts:
The American Federation of Labor was founded in Columbus.
Columbus is the state capital and Ohio's largest city.
50% of the United States population lives within a 500 mile radius of Columbus.What is your favorite fun fact about Columbus?

Okay, I must be an idiot cause I can't find the answer anywhere, seeing that the OP is four months old will someone fill me in? On a side note the Alex P. Keaton is a great name for a drink, what is it comprised of?

The city of Columbus was the buggy-making capitol of the Midwest!! Many of the buildings along the river were originally buggy factory (one of the few remaining is the aptly-named Buggyworks building).

Going back to the Ohio Center...what band was banned from there and why? I was at the concert - it was my first.
Another Flippo fact - he had a restaurant in Clintonville called Flippos which was located when the Donatos Pizza is today (near the Clintonville Farmers Market).

Sorry, forgot to post that!
The Alex P. Keaton is Old Overholt Rye Whiskey with a splash of ginger ale, garnished with lime, served short like Alex P. KeatonTerrific, I am not a fan of ginger ale, but the whole thing makes me want it. It's like Denney's; I will go there solely for the opportunity to say and order "moons over my hammy." I will do the same with the Alex P. Keaton, absolutely classic on all levels.

Well, other than Cyndi Lauper w/ Eddie Money, my first concert!
Here's a little bit of trivia for you: The architect who designed some of the older Columbus Public School buildings like West High School was the same guy who designed the OSU Stadium. :)
