That would be an amazing treat for Columbia. Either way, good to hear that there's interest in this building.

Now THAT would be pretty awesome, and they'd be sure to get constant business with the Palmetto Center becoming dorms.

Default Urban outfitters buzz

A national retailer of ua's cool factor would go a long way in main realizing potential of an after 6 destination and would make remaining vacancies much more appealing to other retailers.

WOW.. that would certainly be the tipping point for Main Street if Urban Outfitters comes there.. Certainly the proximity to USC and the new student housing would give Main Street a nice buzz.. Also, the Main Street upper story housing market may take off.. the fact that students bring life and put bodies on the street makes other young professional couples, empty nesters and the like more interested in settling downtown.. as long as its not a "college bar district" I think if they keep that activity over in 5 points and in the Vista... where it should be.. Main Street could create a nice little niche for itself... Seem like progress gents... It also reduced the "hum to bum" ratio... meaning more humming activities.. and less focus on the bumming that our notorious The State Newspaper Commenters love to harp on in terms of fear of the homeless....

While the "college bar scene" might have its reputed spot in the city I think the intermingling of everyone in all districts is the way to go. By the way, I was in Five Points late yesterday evening and saw lots of middle-aged people walking about. But back to the Main Street area...

Five Points is like an ancestral spawning pool shared by multiple species. After the students leave for the summer, the people with jobs start creeping out of the woodwork, excited to enjoy Drip, Pawley's, Delaney's, and the rest without being crowded out by the Backwards-Capped Boatshoed Gamecock (Douchebaggus Adolecentia Carolinius).
