On this Fourth of July Weekend, we have much to celebrate in the great state of South Carolina, particularly in the capital city of Columbia. I salute Mayor Steve Benjamin and our local leadership for concentrating their efforts on improving the quality of life for the city’s residents—and nowhere are these improvements more pronounced than in Columbia’s booming Main Street District! From the capitol building on Gervais all the way to Elmwood, and now into North Main, the streets are full of people, shops, entertainment venues, and restaurants, and the area only grows livelier with each passing day.
For Columbia residents looking for a little excitement, you need not look any further than Main Street. If it’s live music you’re after, The Joint and 1626 on Main have you covered. Or, for a perfect date night, grab some dinner at one of the many restaurants in the District—offering everything from a juicy steak to the best vegan cuisine in town—and catch a movie at The Nickelodeon theatre. And the Main Street experience is not limited to nightlife; you could easily spend a day at the recently renovated Columbia Museum of Art, visiting the District’s numerous shops, or riding around town on a Blue Bike. On Saturdays, you can start the morning off right with an hour of rooftop yoga at Hendrix and a trip to Soda City Market for local goods. What’s more, getting to and from the Main Street District is easier than ever with free transportation on the Soda Cap Connector!
With all that our town offers and all that’s yet to come, it’s safe to say that there has never been a better time to live, work and play in Columbia, South Carolina! I’ll see you on Main Street!
