Coming from a somewhat aggressive society myself I found the kindness extended to me somewhat startling - even when I took my press badge off.
A city is a city is a city - mostly its only the language spoken that differentiates them, but here in Columbus I have found that the city draws its soul from its community - a cultural and arty crowd working together to put the city, already ranked No. 3 "Top Cities of the Future" on the tourism map.
