Columbia S.C. Business and Social Update

Well its been 5 years since I did any posting on my Columbia, S.C. Information blog so here goes. 

So what has happened in the last 5 years in Columbia?  Here are just a few updates:
  • The University of South Carolina Baseball Stadium was completed - and what a great time it is to attend those games, I must say (although I'm a Clemson Grad haha)...still, very good for the economy and a welcome replacement for what used to be in that spot near Huger and Blossom.
  • Urban Sprawl - it seems like every time I get a call for a new customer, its in one of the new neighborhoods out in Chapin or out in the Lake Carolina Area.  Really pretty neighborhoods happening here in the Midlands!
  • Sheraton Columbia - google "Sheraton Downtown Columbia" - what a view!  Go to the top floor and check out the rooftop bar...all new, very cool.
  • Columbia Business Report - I deal with a very diverse group of customers ranging from attorneys to nurses to bankers and everyone in between.  It seems to me that in our little micro economy, we're not doing all that bad...and if we are, its in out heads!  Come on Columbia, just spend, come off that cash, go have some fun, buy a car, spruce up your yard or whatever and help the economy :)
  • Columbia Weather - This past winter 2009-2010 has been the coldest, wettest, most bitter oppressive beast I can remember.  Just last week, we had the biggest snow blanketing since 1973!  But don't fret - if you're looking to move to central S.C., its usually much warmer and dryer.
  • What I'm into - Facebook!  Haha, just kidding...sortof.  Twitter micro tweets about landscaping Columbia SC and such and Facebook have really become a great way to meet new people and network.  Tweet me sometime!
More to come, I know there are so many of you fans out there (haha).
