SC city 5th "most creative"

[The_sandlapper]

No, it's not Charleston! This may be a repeat to those who have visited the Upstate/Midlands post. I decided to post here just in case you missed it.

Columbia 5th most creative mid-sized city in the country.

Columbia

I wish I had the list for mid-sized towns but can't find it? Any thoughts, praises, complaints?

Creative Class

I'm just actually getting around to this thread. I believe the difference in rankings between the two lists can be attributed to what each article measures. The key word in Florida's list is "rise"--indicative of potential. The key word in the Miliken list is "performing"--which speaks of actualization. So now it is up to the city to bridge this gap, and with all of the proposed/ongoing developments and projects in the city, it's not off to a bad start.

What we really need to draw creatives is residential with *modern* design in/around the city. My current soapbox issue.

I had second thoughts about this, becuase it is a good topic.

that's was the most praising thing i heard thus far about columbia being the 5th most creative midsize city. wh all the projects rolling in , i wonder what new awards will the city win. Columbia is on the verge of something big. It's only a matter of time, patients is the key!!

Yeah I posted that a while ago and then it just died off. I think it speaks volumes for the city considering it is just on the verge of a breakthrough. Others can see the potential Columbia has and the city has been recognized for it in Forbes, and polls similar to that.
