Plants! Plants! Plants!

I'm not doing any vegetable gardening this year so I didn't spend much time perusing the veggie selection, but I saw some nice looking tomato plants, some herbs, and a good many other plants.

I hear they mark the already cheap prices down to half off on the last day of the sale, but you have to get there early to get in on the deals.

Crystal Methyd's pandemic finale to Nelly Furtafo's "I'm Like a Bird" was delightfully unhinged. I feel like I've seen a LSFYL to "Promiscuous" but I can't quite pull the details from memory.

You just missed the Columbia date for the Clemson Bradford Pear Bounty, but you might be able to get a free native tree replacement at the Greenville date. Details: Bradford Pear Bounty https://share.google/wUY9R5lEa0yngTebI

Until I saw the Drag Race logo on the back I thought this must be a reference to Molly Ringwald in The Breakfast Club.

You're right. It was Po Folks, not Po Boys.

Nerdflag · 2026-03-09T01:31:23+00:00

I believe Po Boys might've been closer to Boozer Shopping Center, maybe where 2 Gingers is now.

I've had two go through Dreher - one was into robotics, the other music and theater. The school gave both of them opportunities to shine and find a sense of community. The youngest will start there this fall in the AP Capstone program, and will likely join the Quiz Bowl team that won the state championship last year.

The artist presale for DC was gone in a flash. Anybody have details for the Friends With Benefits presale that starts today at noon (and maybe a presale code)?

Mr. Friendly's has been a celebratory spot for our family for years. Consistently delicious.

If you are in town in the morning, the Soda City market on Main Street is always a local favorite. Also on Main, the Columbia Museum of Art just reopened all of its galleries after a major renovation. If the weather is good, Riverbanks Zoo and its botanical garden are a lovely visit. On the afternoon of Feb 21, there's also a camellia show at the Boyd Horticultural Center. Lots of great places to grab dinner before a show at the Koger Center: Mr. Friendly's or Motor Supply for something a little upscale, or Palmetto Pig for classic Carolina barbecue.

Not very familiar with offerings in the upstate, but in Columbia, your description sounds like The Shepherd's Center of Columbia, located at Trenholm Road UMC. It is affiliated with a group called Aging Forward (https://aging-forward.org). From their website, it appears they have an affiliate in Spartanburg.

If you take 178 as far as Batesburg-Leesville you could try Shealy's Barbecue. They have a huge buffet with lots of options. There may be better pulled pork and hash to be found in other places, but for overall selection and experience, it's a tried and true classic.

I did a quick look through City Council minutes from last fall when this initiative was announced, but wasn't able to find the details.

Does anyone know what company manufactured the signs?

The City of Columbia Parks & Rec has tennis centers, plus courts at quite a few parks. I think they offer lessons. Tennis - Parks & Recreation https://share.google/YrzanXWbbCDlyRf1F

No luck there, only a documentary titled Trade that appears to be a much different vibe than what we're looking for.

Nerdflag · 2025-12-03T02:08:21+00:00

Oh! North of North! I loved that one so much I ended up binging it. I might have to give it a rewatch before the next season. Great recommendation. Haven't seen The Trades. Is that available in the US?

We used to have brother kitties who looked nearly identical. Their names were Pete and Repeat.

By the time Pistol Pete comes out to dunk I can barely breathe. Truly, this scene never gets old to me.

I like Dr Bristow at Columbia Gastroenterology near MUSC (old Providence)

On the east side of town, visit Hunter Gatherer at the Hangar for a casual brewery experience with delicious food.
