As we reported earlier today, CoMo ranked no. 11 on The Atlantic‘s top 25 cities for recent grads to live list. Although we are excited to make the list, we are less than thrilled with the photo choice. Columbia is much more than a colorless street with dead trees. Nice try, Atlantic, but here is what Columbia really looks like:
