Yeah, we certainly don't need to preserve the cookie-cutter more recent buildings, but the historically significant structures must be preserved - especially the Babcock Building and the building designed by Robert Mills. If we lost the Babcock Building it would be a tragedy. They also need to give it back its silver roof.
-
I think those buildings need to be preserved. If they're destroyed there is no getting them back.

I had lunch there on Monday and it was good. I also thought the prices were very reasonable.

Village at Sandhill "so close" to Richland? Have you ever been to Columbia?
-
The Belk's at Dutch Square does good business; there is no reason for it to close.
-
It's nice to have some good economic news to report. I'm sure the jobs at the biotech company will be of the high paying variety.
-
Gee, what a time to try and find developer(s) for this project.
-
Has anyone checked out the Aspyre website and looked t how much those apartments will rent for? They are way out of market range as far as I'm concerned.

Blanche Dubois' flower shop starring Robert Young and Jane Wyatt.
-
Blanche Darby Florist? How syrupy can you get?!
-
That was the Greenbax store. I think the Green Stamps store was in Five Points.

The Egg Roll Station tore down the old Hardee's and built a new place. Silver City is it in the Columbia area, unfortunately.
-
We talked about doing a forum meet up there a while back. Maybe we should try that again.

^Columbia College?

Fusion is now called "Ice"; I saw the sign when I drove by last night. I have no idea if it's still a gay bar, but judging by the new paint job, I suspect it isn't.
-
The Springhill Suites isn't looking as bad as I expected; at least it isn't stucco like most suburban motels.
-
I'm not really into buffets, but M Vista has the best Chinese Food/Asian Fusion in town, IMO.
-
They can keep the suburbs. Mangia Mangia couldn't pay me to drive way out there.

The New York Times had this interesting article about Columbia as a microcosm of the country's economy. NYT

I actually think moving the Nick will go a long way to increasing nightlife on Main Street. Not only will the new location have 2 screens, but it will also have a piano bar, which should draw a nightly crowd. I know the city has pledged $350,000 to the Nick's move in 2008 and they need to do even more in '09. I see that move as the number one key item after the streetscaping on Main.

I'm so glad to see the improvements at the Fairgrounds and I can't wait for the University to buy the Farmer's Market property. Slowly, but surely the area around the stadium is developing into a cool environment. Once the economy improves hopefully even more of the warehouses immediately around the stadium will be converted to other uses.
-
^ Yes it would; and a sculpture, too.
-
I found a picture of the Steel Building/Hippodrome after it moved to Columbia.
-
Those were awesome pics.

I've always like Elie's, too, but they would do a lot more business in the Vista.
