And I don't get the comeback, but I'm sure that's because of the average IQ of Columbians or something like that.

Seeing as how Richland County has the most educated populace in South Carolina, I would also venture guess it is also the home of the highest average I.Q. |

Not to burst your bubble, but I heard on ETV Radio (South Carolina Business Review), that Beaufort County has the most educated population in terms of percent of population with a bachelor's degree. I suppose Richland may have them beat on graduate degrees, especially PhDs. |

Yes, I believe you are correct - Richland has the highest % of advanced degrees and Beaufort the highest % with a Bachelor's degree.
Edit: I looked it up on the U.S. Census Bureau's website and in the last data set for South Carolina by county (2007), Beaufort County had 22.8% with Bachelor's Degrees plus 13.4% with graduate or professional degrees while Richland County had 22.2% plus 13.6% respectively.

Didn't realize Columbia Place was this dead. See attached photos:
Tumbleweeds at Columbia Closings
At what point does Macy's pull the plug on this location and build a store at Columbiana? |

It's looking pretty bleak for the old gal. Shoppers from the Northeast are getting pulled farther down Two Notch towards the Village at Sandhill (or whatever it's called. I rarely go that far out for shopping.) and folks downtown can just as easily go elsewhere for basic shopping needs.
It sucks to see any real estate dip, but I'd rather see a number of other retail locations succeed than Columbia Mall... Place... whatever. I don't care for malls, in general, and if I did want to see a mall resurrect itself, I'd like it to be Richland. |

I like the Village at Sandhill mall. Does anyone know if they plan to build more stores there? It looks unfinished. |

I'm sure there are plans, but new retail space isn't flying off the shelves at the moment... That whole economic downturn thing. They're adding new occupants, though, and in the long run, who knows? Maybe if the remaining stores in Columbia Mall do decide to jump ship, it'll be for Sandhill.
I don't know. Again, malls aren't my cup of tea, and I don't drive all the way out there now, so I don't see myself driving all the way out there if the mall grows, either. |
