The Bistro at Shoppes at Flight Deck in Lexington 701 CCA Columbia Open Studios, Palmetto Tasty Tomato Festival, Jam Room Music Festival, and the region’s Famously Hot New Year Event. “Volunteerism is huge here,” Broom says, “so the nonprofit event scene is really hopping.” Always Hot The more than 750,000 residents of the state’s largest metropolitan area might argue that Columbia has always been “hot,” starting from its founding in 1786. The area’s rich history as a Civil War hotbed (the Secession Convention was first held here) and its numerous historic sites, from the State House to the family home of President Woodrow Wilson, attract a steady stream of heriViva la Vista festival tage tourists, who line up for tours of antebellum abodes. Think shaded sidewalks, wraparound porches, palmetto trees, and blooming magnolias (see “History” on p. 96). But residents and visitors don’t live in the past. Today, culture is alive and well in Columbia. Expect an array of museums (EdVenture Children’s Museum and the Columbia Museum of Art), a wide range of art galleries and shops (Devine Street is just the start), and a diverse dining scene (see “Bon Appétit, Y’all” on p. 94). Folks can also venture out to charming small towns like Lexington, Blythewood, Irmo, Little Mountain, and Forest Acres. “Forest Acres continues to be a special place, offering superior residential opportunities with great schools and photos courtesy of columbia metropolitan convention & visitors bureau http://www.lakemurraycountry.com http://www.lakemurraycountry.com http://www.scshops.com http://www.scshops.com http://www.palmettopromotions.com
