Soda City Art, 1807 Bush River Road Suite E: 2023 no comments
I can't find out much about Soda City Art, but from these third party profiles here and here, it appears they more into the fun side of printing than brouchures and the like, mentioning
Cosplay, Helmets, Armor, Prop Weapons, Digital Printing, Custom Decals, Banners & Signs.
Looking at Google Streetview, it appears they opened sometime after 2019, being definitely there in September of 2022 and being definitely gone in April of 2023.
Heroes & Dragons, 1621 Broad River Road: Early May 2019 (Moved) 1 comment
I last wrote about Heroes & Dragons in 2016 when they moved from their standalone building further down Bush River Road back to Boozer Shopping Center (where they had been before, in the Manifest wing).
Now they have moved again, this time much further down Bush River Road, almost at I-20 in fact, and are, I believe in the old Power One / Sissy's Furniture building:
I've bought a number of things at the various locations over the years; I'll have to get by the new store as well.

UPDATE 7 June 2019 -- The new location:
Lucy's Love Shop, 1807-D Bush River Road: 10 March 2014 no comments
Jobs destroyed? Check!
Suite rent no longer being paid? Check!
Local custom driven to The Internet? Check!
It's a trifecta!
Sound Advice / Dugan's Sports Bar / PowerOne Computer Warehouse, 1807 Bush River Road: December 2009 26 comments
PowerOne Computer Warehouse was a rebuilt PC store that I believe opened on Saturday 29 August 2009. I say that with some confidence, because I had taken a bunch of pictures of the nearby The Aquarium & Pet Shop on that day, and stopped in at PowerOne on my walk back over to Fuddruckers where I was eating lunch.
I found them in the midst of something of a mini-crisis because they had not intended to open on 29 August, but there was a printing error in all the flyers that were distributed in the paper forcing them to open several days before they were ready. This meant that almost nothing in the store had a price on it, and in many cases not even of description of the PCs processor speed, amount of RAM, OS version etc. It looked like they had some pretty good stuff in the store, but as I didn't really need anything, I didn't persue the prices of any the systems.
I don't know if the unplanned opening somewhat "wrong-footed" them as the Brits might say, but for whatever reason, they didn't make it to New Years.
I recall seeing Dugan's Sports Bar from time to time as a drove Bush River Road, but I don't know anything about it other than that it preceded PowerOne into the 1807 storefront.
UPDATE 4 Jan 2010: Commenter Jeff notes that home theater company Sound Advice was once in the space.
UPDATE 22 August 2012 -- It appears that the place is preparing to open as one of the many new (and controversial) "Internet Sweepstakes" operations in the Columbia area:
UPDATE 24 October -- Well the sweepstakes thing never happened; I believe the law came down on all of them before this one got opened. Anyway, it's Sissy's Furniture now.
