[krazeeboi]

Here's a nice picture of the Hilton from the Columbia Star which was part of an article about convention business in Columbia and how the hotel should play into that.

wow, lol krazee, What kind of camera do you use? and next time your in town we should do a shoot so we can fix the wiki page.

[krazeeboi]

^The clouds were really working with me that day.

I use a Sony DSC-W7. I've been learning it more and more, which is why I'm hesitant to buy a new camera just yet.

The Hilton sign is now at the top of the hotel.

[krazeeboi]

According to The State, the hotel and Ruth's Chris is scheduled to open August 1.

That place is gonna be slammed! ... For a while after it opens. Awesome.

Also, this may be common knowledge, but I heard the Hilton is taking reservations.

[TheCarolinaKing]

Ive heard they have already been taking party and wedding reservations, and that they have booked up alot of the rooms dor its first few months of operation. Can't wait to get that Filet and sauteed mushrooms from Ruth's!

The cladding on the ground level, which has a different facade, looks almost complete.

Hey Carolina South, and welcome to the forum! Your pics didn't turn out bad at all; thanks for sharing.

[Spartan]

Welcome to the forum! Night pictures defintiely give a different perspsective. Thanks for sharing those! This will look much better when those trees get bigger.

[CarolinaSouth]

Thanks.....I wanted to get more shots, but i was just riding through because i saw the pics on this thread and wanted to see the garage in person....then when i got there...it hit me that it wasn't any of the garage at night......although i'm living in Savannah GA right now...i come home to Columbia often and i'm gonna try to take more pictures when i'm there

[krazeeboi]

We look forward to them.
