YMCA, 1420 Sumter Street: 9 July 2016 (moving) 2 comments
I believe I may at one time have had swimming lessons at the downtown 'Y', though it is very hazy now. I remember for sure that I had Karate lessons there, something which my mother was in favor of to try and get me out of my books every now and then, and something which I personally hated (the same thing was true of Little League). In the event, I would sneak over to the neighboring RCPL when I was supposed to be in class.
I had not often thought of the 'Y' since then until my sister recently mentioned that it was moving from this historic building to a new one at 1447 Hampton Street.
According to the 'Y' website, that move is this weekend, and the new 'Y' should be open on Monday 11 July 2016.

I feel like First Baptist has plans to utilize this building in some form or fashion but can't recall (or find) any details...

That's a shame to see them move out of this cool old building. I had a membership there when I lived a few blocks over in 2002/03 and always liked looking around the facility.
