Did I imagine it?

I must be imagining that Columbus is on the list of the Top Ten Big Cities in the US that came out yesterday. Why isn't that news in The Columbus Dispatch, Columbus Business First, or the Daily Reporter? I find the CNNMoney.com list in a bunch of other newspapers around the country (or am I just imagining that too?) but not in any of the Columbus papers?

News Flash Columbus Business First announced yesterday that Mentor is the only Ohio City on the list... true of the 90 smaller cities in this list. Not true of the 10 Biggest Cities in this list... or am I imagining Columbus there on the list in number eight? Or are there articles in the Columbus papers but I can't find them?

We're not number one on the list but Cincinnati, Cleveland, Akron, Dayton, Toledo, etc. aren't on the list at all.

Indianapolis, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, Chicago and lots of other BIG cities did not make the tiny list of Big Cities.

Crazy?

You are not crazy. Just can't read. It is in the Dispatch, online at least.

Anonymous said of me "Just can't read." Thanks I went back through the Dispatch and found it. "If it was a dog it would have bit me" ??? Maureen
