November 20, 2021 Myesha Cogley

Columbia is South Carolina's capital and home to the University of South Carolina. Along Columbia's wide avenues are historic sites ranging from an antebellum mansion to the former home of a slave who bought her freedom, plus museums, galleries, music venues, theaters and shops. Columbia's three rivers, lake, canal, national park and several city parks offer opportunities for recreation and relaxation. Among the kid-pleasing destinations are a zoo and the largest children's museum in the south.

Creative, gigantic, a must see in Columbia. Everyone visiting the city should take a selfie with the very large fire hydrant.

Never Bust Chain

Reviewed By CenFLGuy - Saint Cloud, United States

This is a chain linking two buildings in downtown Columbia. I happen to encounter the Never Bust Chain while checking out the Soda City Market. If you’re walking in the area or you simply like building art, definitely check this out.
