Did you wish there were a place to vent about it, say how you saw it coming, or give the inside scoop on what happened? I\u2019d like this to be that place.<\/p>\n<p>As I notice businesses that have closed, I\u2019ll post entries on them. If I was a patron, I\u2019ll post a few thoughts, if I wasn\u2019t, I\u2019ll just note the passing. I hope that you, should anyone actually find this blog, can fill in the details with your comments.<\/p>\n<p>In general, this blog will deal, as the title suggests, with Columbia SC. However, I also spend a good deal of time on the Grand Strand, so I won\u2019t hesitate to mention closings there, if it strikes my fancy. I also won\u2019t hesitate to make \u201cremember when?\u201d posts about places that closed years ago.<\/p>\n<p><b>TERMS Of USE<\/b><\/p>\n<p>1) All original content appearing on columbiaclosings.com is copyrighted by the site's owner.
