During its first ownership, this was a great place to grab a bite and catch some music, but I feel it really went downhill with the second ownership.

OK, I've added Jammin' Java to the post title.

Soxinsc is correct: This was indeed the location of Jammin' Java. The front door has changed a bit since then, but it's the same basement shop. Used to stop by there for a sandwich once/week back in the day.

I have a sneaking suspicion Mast might pull a CiCi's after their obligation for the federal loan is up....

Everytime I pick up a copy of The State, they have some great story about how Main Street is back. Sure doesn't look like its back to me. Looks like it is sinking lower.

I want to say White Mule had a previous life as a Jammin' Java, but I could be wrong. White Mule drew some good bands over the years, but I think they would have done better located in Five Points or closer to the heart of the Vista.

Mast has done a great deal for Main Street. Have you ever seen a show @ The White Mule? It was very narrow, and the columns in the middle of the floor greatly obstructed the view. While the guys who rant it are very experienced, it just wasn't a good place to catch a show. Columbia is a very fickle place for music. Still, sad to see a music venue go, but it would have if Mast would have been there or not. As far as Cowboy, lunch for two would cost you about $70 w/ a tip, and that would be if you didn't have alcohol. From what I've heard, dinner is a nice experience. Not sure what Mast has done to deserve all the backlash. It might not be a savior, but it is definitely a step in the right direction.

What? T-bone Benji said Mast would save Main Street!

I heard the Brazilian Cowboy stopped serving lunch. I predict closing cam will be visiting another Main Street location soon.
