My wife and I took three hikes in the nature area some of the trails were mulched, some paved and others dirt. We could not believe the benches that were available and also places along the way with informational signing. So much to take in. We saw people riding their bicyles, hiking and walking plus all social distancing. Amazing to have this many parks and trails in a city like Columbia

Awesome beer and a great night out at Brewery Night Live! My favorite is the Lily. Very refreshing for those summer days. Big Tree IPA is well balanced with big flavor and the new Frank's Cream Ale was a great treat to finish off the night. The staff was friendly and the space was fantastic. A great place to have a big event!

This architectural gem is hidden across the street from peace park in downtown columbia. The exterior and interior designs are remarkable and add another great building to Columbia. The art in the gallery is important and astonishing. The library is huge and gorgeously appointed. The interior is impressive at every turn. This is a new do not miss when visiting columbia.
