Last time I tried to shop downtown, they had much of Main St blocked off and inaccessible with Fire and Police vehicles. It was some kind of idiocy called The Soda City Market or something like that. It looked like a bunch of crap for people with absolutely nothing to do in their lives but attend crap like that. Screw downtown Columbia. I can live without it.
Just more money for the City of Columbia to mis manage and spend on worthless projects. The water system and infrastructure is in shambles and they spend millions to re do a park for the homeless to tear up and trash. People will stay away from down town. Shops will wind up going out of business and becoming vacant. Screw the mayor and Soda City!

Yet another reason I spend less time downtown these days…

Columbia has never been a well-run city, nor Richland a well-run county. They need to learn a few lessons from Greenville and Charleston.
Hourly street meter rates in Charleston are already $2.00 per hour.
Greenville dos not have parking meters.
Truth!
