Columbiana definitely needs an expansion whether it be a new wing or a second story. They also need at least one parking garage added to help with parking and traffic flows.
parking garage or extra floor does sounds like a great idea. i think they need to build underground though. one floor down would be nice. with a underground garage.

It has been a while since I've been in Columbia. I drove by this site from I-77 exit all the way towards Village at Sandhills and was shocked and disgusted at all the sprawl I saw! :shok: Do they really need to have so many car dealerships all in just a mile radius? And a Taco Bell built in the middle of nowhere.....a Walgreens and Rite Aid and CVS literally next to each other. This is poor planning at its finest. :sick:

LOL, you live in Charlotte and say you're "shocked and disgusted at all the sprawl you saw" in Columbia. That's a good one! :rofl:

Quote from the article:
"The museum is shifting its attention increasingly to health, nutrition, farming, energy, environment, technology, engineering and mathematics in response to recommendations from parents and educators, she said. Some examples she cited include the butterfly garden and a health exhibit.
The museum has raised $3 million so far, she said, hoping to get the remainder from public sources."

The new facilities are located in Minneapolis, Hartford, Conn., Columbia and Portland, Ore. The new markets will serve clients in the financial services, insurance, health care and government sectors along with professional associations. DIT provides customized document management solutions for five of the top 10 financial services firms nationwide, three of the top 10 life insurance providers, more than 350 health care providers and hospitals, and multiple federal agencies.

This company seems like a natural fit for Columbia, given the types of clients it services comprise the primary pillars of the local economy.

EIFS is external insulation finishing system, also known as fake stucco. It's efficient for insulation purposes but compromises architectural integrity.
Plus is looks like doo-doo after about 2 or 3 years or weathering.

Chick-fil-A on Main Street will shut down at the end of the month after more than 17 years as lease negotiations with the building’s owner have failed. The 4,000-square-foot restaurant space is for lease for $19.95 a square foot per year – or roughly $80,000, according to the Arnold Cos. website. The development-and-property -management company is in the midst of redeveloping the entire property, renamed The Palms on Main.

The company is looking for another restaurant to lease out the ground-level space at 1301 Main St., according to its website, which also lists a 470-square-foot second-floor patio as available at no extra charge.

Chick-fil-A is looking for another spot on Main Street, but they said it might take a year before they can reopen if they find a suitable spot. They also said the inability to come to an agreement on the lease is the only reason they're moving and that there was no problem with the customer base. I think they'd do well in the Mast General block.
