What will Columbia's new Congaree riverfront park look like? Here's a peek

After months of public feedback, the city of Columbia this week unveiled sweeping plans for remaking a broad swath of downtown riverfront into the city’s newest park. Plans for gardens, walkways, bike paths, community spaces and a boat launch are all slated for a future park along the banks of the Congaree River between the Gervais Street bridge and the University of South Carolina’s baseball park. The city and park designers showcased the plans for the first time at a public forum Monday at the Senate’s End event venue close to the site of the long-planned public development.

Harpootlian drops Group Therapy appeal, continues fight against neighboring bar’s liquor license

COLUMBIA — Dick Harpootlian’s latest challenge to Five Points institution Group Therapy has officially ended, but a similar challenge to the neighboring Five Points Saloon is ongoing.
