Letter: Idea for a Welcome to Columbia sign Yvonne Kolbenschlag writes: I am very pleased that a future Eagle Scout has seen the need to replace a shabby old sign on Greensburg Street. Welcoming signs to a city indicate an image of the kind of place the city is. Just as a shabby dirty 'welcome' mat in front of a house door would make one wonder what sort of person lives there, so a shabby dirty sign at a city's entrance gives the same message.Commentes re: Sign update proposed on Greensburg Road 2021-07-16 21:15:21 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Turner led the team in scoring at 22.1 points per game and 2.9 assists per game, while Glover garnered a team-best mark at 10.5 rebounds per game, 1.6 steals per game, and 2.5 blocks per game.

A Columbia Landmark and Historic Stage By Mike Watson Recently a conversation arose concerning the Hotel on the corner of Greensburg Street and the Public Square in Columbia. There is a long and storied history of this piece of real estate, and also of the hotel, built in 1898 by John Conover. The following is a far-from-complete history, but a starter, of sorts. The photograph accompanying this article is undated, but the Barbee Stagecoach depicted on the Square is well known. In 1898 John N. Conover built a fine brick hotel on the northwest corner of the Public Square. It was the finest and most modern building in Columbia for many years. Built on the site of a previously burned hotel, Mr. Conover's hotel contained twenty-eight rooms and fronted on Greensburg Street and the Square. Managed by Mr. and Mrs. George Coffey and Mrs. Kate Smith, there was a gala opening on 7 December 1898. The hotel was known by several names, as many persons operated it over the years.
