    “Never been to Columbus, Ohio? You will be shocked at what an upscale, clean, and metropolitan city it is.  Columbus is my hometown and although I have not lived there in 20 years it is still where my heart is.  I have lived in Southern California as well as Phoenix, and have traveled to New York, London, Paris and Hong Kong but within walking distance of the convention center in Columbus you will find restaurants that rival any in those major cities.  I can’t wait to see you in the heart of it all.”
