Above is an old post card of the Woodrow Wilson house in Columbia,SC.
I've always loved hearing SC history and admit I don't know as much as I should about my home state. So, I'm thrilled to be working on projects like the Pacific Mills/Olympia projects and now the Woodrow Wilson House Restoration site. I am surrounded not only by the physical testaments of the past but the stories and vibration of those before us.
Just 25 years ago things were so very different in areas like The Vista and downtown. I remember videotaping Mayor Kirk Finley back in the 80's up by what is now Governor's Hill and looking down into a sand pit of weeds and trash which is now Finley Park. Finley in his southern belting voice talked of a vision for the city that has in many ways either been met or is in progress.
There's a lot going on in this historic town!
