Arlington
Columbia
Arlington and Columbia, side by side.
At a glance
What locals say
Arlington is too ambiguous in the source material to describe as a single lived-in city, and there are no Reddit posts or comments here to ground a local perspective. Based on the travel-guide note alone, the only safe conclusion is that the name refers to multiple places, so daily life would vary completely depending on which Arlington you mean. There is not enough evidence to responsibly summarize the food, nightlife, pace, or neighborhood feel. If you mean a specific Arlington, the state or metro area would be needed to give an honest city-living picture.
There isn’t enough city-specific Reddit material here to give a confident lived-in portrait of Columbia, because the source only says there is more than one place called Columbia and provides no posts or comments. Based on that thin evidence, the safest read is that this prompt does not identify which Columbia is meant, so any detailed description would be guesswork. In practice that means no reliable claims about neighborhoods, routines, food, nightlife, or weather can be made from the provided material. The city could be many different places, and the available sources do not distinguish among them.
Food & nightlife
No reliable food-scene description can be inferred from the provided material, because there are no posts or comments about local restaurants, grocery options, regional dishes, or dining habits.
No reliable nightlife description can be inferred from the provided material, because there are no posts or comments about bars, music, late-night activity, or social scenes.
Weather vs. what locals say

—
There is no usable local discussion of weather in the provided material. Without city-specific comments, it would be misleading to contrast climate statistics with how residents actually talk about it.
In short
Not enough data to form a verdict.
