The Vista and 5 Points (Columbia: best place, places, map)

Pavlov's in Five Points named one of the best college bars in America by foodie website The Daily Meal, the only South Carolina bar named to the list:

iF Art Gallery on Lincoln Street in the Vista is expanding into the former Lewis & Clark space next door. The owner is very highly respected and appreciated in the South Carolina arts community. He's dedicated.

Workers have been on the Hyatt Place site for the last few days and the backhoe is turning dirt.

As a result of the Visa Subaway on Gervais going under there's a high profile vacancy (it was a very large space for a subway available). Le Peep next door which replaced Mezza is opening very soon, saw employees in it today probably being trained.

Anyway as Subway's are a dime a dozen I'm sure no ones mourning the loss. The Vista I think will eventually be a two Starbucks area but maybe that's not the right space but I tell you what I bet it'll be filled by a trendier chain like maybe Atlanta's growing Tin Drum Cafe Tin Drum Asiacafé™ - Home

I like Substation II way better than Subway.

DRIP looking to supersize their 5pts location. Zoning sign in the window of soon to shutter Bungalow right next door for a hearing to rezone the retail spot to allow for a restaurant expansion. The added space would give Drip ballpark 40 more spots to sit. Personally I think the smarter move for the burgeoning Drip empire would be to open up a third shop in either Forest Acres OR where Peace Love and Rocky Roast used to be on Gervais.

Good point, but it's less expensive to add more seating where they are than to open a 3rd location.
