They've been popping up. Now Godspeed is prepping a permanent home in Five Points.
This popular Columbia coffee pop-up is planning a permanent home in Five Points
The locally owned shop will take a space that was formerly home to a national coffee chain in one of Columbia’s key districts.

“Busted Plug,” #columbia ’s iconic fire hydrant statue, hasn’t been seen since it was transported in 2023, after a new owner asked the city to remove it.
Today, the sculpture by local artist Blue Sky can still be seen outdoors in an open lot. #southcarolina

Total Lunar Eclipse 1:09 - 4:47 am ET
The full Moon enters & exits Earth’s conical shadow in space. A long, slow, boring, common, celestial event. Convert Eastern Time to your Zone, and if it’s dark & clear at your Earthly location, then you can see the full eclipse too
