I have been to both Indianapolis and Columbus several times and my impression is, Columbus has a downtown that is reminiscent of southern cities like Charlotte, Atlanta, etc. Downtowns that are tall but lack energy on the streetscapes, and a lack of street activity, yet Columbus neighborhoods have a vibrant eastern feel. Meanwhile Indianapolis has a vibrant downtown like many older eastern cities, but the neighborhoods appear to be more Southern in character and feel. I think where they are similar is their proximity and youth appeal.
