I agree. I was really disappointed to hear the arts center would be closing, but this a such a wonderful replacement!

Also, announced today a food hall is locating in the former Tapps Art Center with a brewery!! https://colatoday.6amcity.com/sanctuary-food-hall-columbia- sc/ https://squarefeetstudio.com/projects/tapps-food-hall-brewery/

I have been to the Tin Lizzy's in Bulkhead, but have not been to the new location. I don't expect to be disappointed. It was great when in ATL. Also, there was an article in ColaDaily about the Brew Pub. Something New is Brewing in The Vista

The concept is 1920's Gatsby/Roaring 20s. The waitresses were dressed as flappers and servers dressed in 1920s Gatsby style as well. They intend to have swing dancing and live swing music. They also request that you show up in at least business casual attire. It seems like a great idea I just hope it will last. I suggested swing dance lessons on weeknights as I'm not sure I know anyone who knows how to swing dance and I certainly do not my self.

I was invited in to the empire supper club on its opening night. It was unique for Columbia and I do think that it will do well as more people learn about it. Employees/owners were very professional and friendly.

Hopefully, ones response once the development gets going... Go ahead and send me to Bull Street, I'll have a great time!

Not so sure this is the change I want, but its better than the space sitting empty... http://www.wistv.com/story/24539690/belk-expanding-into-sears-space-at-columbiana-centre

@irmoscdad I'm pretty sure that Nordstrom Rack is going in there. No timeline , but the company that manages the shopping center already has it listed on there webpage.

Anybody know if anything is lined up for the Sears location once it closes? http://www.wistv.com/story/24409407/sears-at-columbiana-centre-to-close-lease-not-renewed

Phase 1 is certainly interesting. A little disappointed in the amount of surface parking included in this plan, http://www.thestate.com/2013/07/20/2872527/bull-street-phase-1-proposal.html

Mr. Hughes finally speaks out on the project. http://www.thestate.com/2013/07/17/2866638/bull-street-construction-to-begin.html

Kiss and Zac Brown Band have both played shows there in the past four years as well. The Zac Brown Band show was great!

Apparently the city is ready to make further announcements in a press conference today at noon. http://www.wistv.com/story/22672800/city-will-announce-plans-for-old-bull-street-hospital-campus Agreed.

That is an interesting angle from that side. It has a different look than most photos taken from that direction. Nice photo!

Big announcement out today! http://www.thestate.com/2013/06/24/2832941/columbia-reaches-key-agreement.html
