Well, a Columbia tradition since 1920 is gone. In fact I can only remember going into Moe Levy's<\/i> once or twice back in the 1970s on shopping trips with cousins. At the time, I liked shopping for clothes even less than I do now so the place was not a magnet for me, but I was always aware of it as we drove past. I also remember in my earlier days conflating the constant signage for Levi's<\/i> jeans there with the store name itself and wondering if Moe Levy invented blue jeans.<\/p>\n

As I recall, the store had a closing scare a few years ago at which point I took some of these pictures. I forget exactly what happened, but obviously they did not close then. As for now, The State<\/i> reports that most of the block has been bought by local developer Ben Arnold<\/i> who hopes to bring a national retailer or restaurant to the Moe Levy's<\/i> location.<\/p>\n
