Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Rachel I currently live in Akron OH and have lived about 30 miles from Columbus. If you travel 20 or more miles outside of Columbus, it is very rural and not veg friendly. However, Columbus proper is veg friendly. In Columbus, there are good stores (Wild Oats and something Raisin). Some of the chain grocery stores also carry organic items to compete. I am not sure if a Trader Joes has moved into the area yet. There are good veg friendly resaurants, Ethopian, Thai, vegetarian, and in the Polaris area a Robek's smoothies just opened. You are not far from one of the best state parks around Hocking Hills. Of course if you are a sports fan, there's the Ohio State games and because of the medical school there are good hospitals. There is also a decent airport. Columbus doesn't have much in the way of the arts. However, there is an alternative theatre and the public library system is great as well. I don't know where Lafayette IN is. However, I have a friend who is vegan and lives an hour south west of Indianapolis. She loves Indianapolis; she works there and it takes her about an hour to drive there. Indianapolis is very veg friendly. I think there is even a Trader Joe's there. However, where she lives is rural and not veg friendly. She also lived near Angola, IN and that wasn't too veg friendly either. She was a high school teacher and got flack from students and other teachers. Based on my friend's experience and mine (and not knowing where Lafayette is), I'd choose Columbus. Hope this helps.
