About City of Columbus

The food service corporations Wendy's, Donatos Pizza, Bob Evans Restaurants, Max & Erma's and White Castle are also based in the metropolitan area. The region is home to several major military installations including the Ohio Naval Base in Portsmouth and the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB. In 2016, Money Magazine ranked Columbus as one of "The 6 Best Big Cities", calling it a "greater cultural hub" with an "impressive record of success". Columbus has a humid continental climate (Köppen Cfa), typical for central Ohio; winters are cold but relatively short compared to other areas further east in America due to its favorable location within North America for storm tracking between Canada and warm air from Mexico during winter months; summers tend to be very warm or hot with average July high temperatures being around 84 °F (29 °C) while lows hover near 70 °F (21°C). Precipitation is relatively well distributed year round.
