That restaurant has been there forever. Never really thought I'd see the day that development spread to that area, but it's here.

It goes much further back than that. I remember it being Stadium Steak House in the 70's and I remember it being a strip club and then a gay bar before it was a Chinese restaurant.

Wow! That's insane. With our luck, they'll put it on the National Register of Historic Places and it'll never be developed lol

Awesome. Just think if it were a strip club or gay bar today! That'd be interesting with all the baseball fans walking by

No self respecting gay bar would be crowded that early in the evening, lol.

Columbia still led Charleston in population by 1,194 as of July 1, 2015. Charleston gained 2,780 and had 132,609, while Columbia gained 1,438 and had 133,803.

I expect Charleston to overtake Columbia when the next estimates come out, and it will probably be that way officially for the 2020 Census.

That number seems really low looking at all the student housing, apartments and homes that came online in the city limits this past year.

These numbers are from almost a year ago....if the same numbers and ratio hold true for the year ending 1 July 16 ... then Charleston's population will have eclipsed Columbia's ... for whatever that's worth...
