Don’t the Papadeas also own the former Al Amir building across from City Hall?

I am also looking forward to trying the place. with two caveats: They must serve liquor and with entrees $15 to $30, they better be far above average.

I really like this pic of the CBD that is on the City's webpage. When the highrise next to Library is built it will look even better.. Sorry but its on the Citys web page so its a "water mark" type photo in the background. Its the second slider in the series...

the Holiday inn on Washington and main opened up, it's a big game changer of that main street artery adds a lot of feet on the ground. The State reported that it's the 16th hotel to open in downtown Columbia.

The more feet on the ground, the better.
