We are at 4 now with the commons one. Lets shoot for 5!!!

Like I said, if bull street fails, so does the mayor. Didn't they say they would release tenant names a year ago?

i think the homeless being camped out in that park is not a new thing.

Part of the problem is it is located right behind the library, where many homeless like to go during the day.

Bull Street is going to be exceptionally successful. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Columbia could do so much more with the public lands it has. Then again many from Columbia have never heard of or been to the Congaree Park unfortunately.

Unfortunately, I think this is largely true. It's a shame because it's really a sight to behold and one of the last remaining floodplain hardwood forests around. People hear the word "swamp", which is technically incorrect when classifying the Congaree, and think mosquitos and Dagobah system from Star Wars. I suppose people would rather be at Columbiana Centre.

A lot of people would rather go to their local neighborhood pool and local parks versus driving into the city to a go to a park that turned ghettoish.

Have you been to the Congaree National Park? It's practically in the middle of nowhere. There's a few houses nearby but hardly ghettoish. That wouldn't keep me away, anyway.

Suburbanites afraid of their own shadows? I'll stay in the inner city, thanks.
