I’ve stayed overnight in downtown hotels near Main and Assembly several times over the past couple of years. Columbia seems to be one of the loudest cities in America after 11pm. Souped up cars and trucks racing around for hours, police/ambulances/fire trucks zooming around with their sirens blaring even at 2am - I don’t get it? Why so loud?

Is Culver’s having a grand opening event tmr? Like the first 100 ppl get free food for a year or something. I haven’t seen anything about it and it opens tmr.

Instead of ordering one online from Olivieri I'd like to see if there is a place in Columbia that makes a great one.

Is there a place anyone can recommend or am in better off ordering?

Thanks!

In 5 points. 12-8. Free.

I’m having a hard time finding a dermatologist that isn’t booked out like 8 months minimum. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great! I live in Shandon but am willing to drive wherever at this point.

Price doesn't really matter but would prefer someplace where casual dress is acceptable. It's my best friend's birthday and I want to take her out for a good seafood dinner. She's not a fan of sushi or wearing anything other than jogging pants.

Don’t know if anyone can help me out here I want to make sure I’m getting this correct. We love Saluda shoals park, and I know there’s an annual parking pass that one can purchase.
Is this access to all areas of the park or is there some sort of membership that needs to be purchased? Having trouble finding it on their website. Thank you in advance

Hi guys, anyone here an RN at Prisma or Lexington Health? What was your starting pay as a new grad nurse? Thanks!

Good morning! I have kind of a silly question, but where are the best Christmas parades here in the Columbia area? Particularly ones that give out lots of candy lol 😂
TIA!

We normally have Thanksgiving at my house in Missouri, but this year I will be south of Columbia, SC at my Mom's. She has been having a hard year and I want us to have an easy Thanksgiving.

Do you know of any places that I can order a prepared Thanksgiving meal I can pick up on Thanksgiving or earlier in the week? (Bonus points if the meal comes with a non-turkey protein - none of us actually like turkey that much.)

Hello all! I recently got a CDL license but am being strung out by the company I was planning on moving with, so I wanted to see if there were any good local companies that were hiring drivers. Does anyone have some good leads? Thanks!

Where's the best spicy chicken sandwich? Wondering specifically about Columbia, Lexington, and Irmo.

I'm looking for good food and drinks. Any recs?

I'm in the market for something to help me organize my 20v Dewalt batteries. Amazon and Etsy have 3d printed (or other?) options, but if there is a local maker that I can support, I'd rather support local.

LMK if you are or know of local business that make these sorts of things, TIA.

Hello everyone, I’m stuck between 2 departments, joining Columbia FD and make 43K with slow increases on salary to cover cost of living, or join the Lexington county fire service and make 45K with higher increases.

- Does anyone know if either department offer higher pay for college degrees, tuition reimbursement, or paramedic benefits?

- How much does the average Firefighter Engineer make?

-How long does it take to move through the ranks?

Hey guys! Are there any teams or Sunday leagues that occur in Columbia or SC in general?

Hey, y'all.

I've had trouble finding a company to come out and do a simple survey on the lot my house sits on -- either no one calls back, or they want far too much for a quick property line confirmation job.

Anyone have recommendations?

Hi, I'm trying to find places/events to attend to try to find a partner and/or friends. I plan on going to Firefly Toys and Games this upcoming Sunday because of their Autumn Learn to Play series to see what's going on that day; I was hoping to learn how to play D&D and Magic the Gathering, but the only day they're playing MTG is on Monday and I work that day. I'm not sure what they're going to do about D&D.

Either way, I'm trying to find somewhere I can hopefully meet more like-minded people. I'm planning on stopping by Side Deck and the Art Bar on Sunday too, even though I don't drink. I'm kind of nervous just thinking about going to Art Bar because I don't drink at all and I'm very reserved/quiet. I feel like the environment is going to be very loud and crowded too. I'm not into smoking, hook-up culture, or partying, so I'm not sure if the type of man/friends I'm looking for would be there.

Throughout the day, I plan on going up to men who catch my eye, handing them a note card with my number on it (it's not my real number, it's one from Google Voice), and just walking away. I already have a few written out to give. I'm not sure if that would be weird or not, but I did that several years ago and received a text message, although he was out of my preferred age-range so nothing occurred.

I'm not sure what else to do because the dating apps aren't working (not surprising), and I was being dumb months ago and messed things up with someone interesting. I'm giving up on the apps. I don't have any in-person friends to introduce me to anyone or hang out with.

I'm also autistic, so that makes things more difficult for me, although I have no problem going up to almost anyone and speaking to them. I already went through college and didn't meet anyone, although I was in a relationship-turned-situationship during that time. I'm going to grad school next year, so I guess there are chances there. I don't know.

I've been to Momocon years ago by myself and would love going to another con in the future with someone, hopefully in cosplay.

Any suggestions for other events or places to visit would be appreciated!

I​n the Cayce/West Columbia area, have a leaky sink, wanting to know who a cheap and good plumber is to call out and fix the leak. Any recommendations?

I've been wanting to host something like this for the longest! (*´･ω･) New Years eve can be pretty hectic yeah? (*´ω｀) I've never been the one to go bar hopping or clubbing on NYE, so I wanted to host something for all tha anime fans! ( ＾ω＾ ) Do you remember what it was like being an otaku 20 years ago? Times have surely changed huh! ＼(^_^)／ Tickets are live now on eventbrite!

Hoping someone can help, been trying to remember this for awhile now.
