Best things about Columbia that nobody talks about
As a 14-year resident, here are some things about Columbia that don't make it into the guides:
1. The local music scene is really vibrant
2. The library system is phenomenal
3. The local craft beer scene is legit
Happy to answer questions.

Great post! One thing I'd mention is the west side tends to be more affordable. Makes a big difference.

Don't sleep on Riverside. It's up and coming and still affordable.
