Peace, Love & Rocky Roast, 923 Gervais Street: 3 March 2012 (moving) 1 comment
Well, this closing has been discussed fairly extensively in the comments, but I first heard of it from Eva at the Free Times.
I like coffee and ice cream, but somehow never even knew that Peace, Love & Rocky Roast existed in the Vista even though I hit The Mellow Mushroom and Five Guys fairly often, and drive down Gervais on a semi-regular basis.
The store's facebook page and web site mention Vista rents as the main issue here. It doesn't seem to me that Vista properties are turning over quickly enough that driving out existing tenants is a good idea -- I notice that the complex with the antique bookstore has been on the market a good while as has this place (or at least it still looked vacant last time I thought to check).
Apparently PL&RR is looking to relocate to State Street in Cayce, but I'm not sure exactly where.
(Hat tips to Eva and the commenters)

Oh man I will scream with happiness if PL&RR moves to Cayce-West Columbia. In your second photo from the bottom, that patch of sunshine was where my favorite table for a night of laptop using and coffee drinking was. I wasn't a regular by any means but parking there was a bit of a pain.
Did you know that Virtu on Devine (by Dianne's) closed? Just noticed it today when walking down Devine for the St. Pat's festival!
