activities designed for the whole family,
but in all of the excitement there will be
some free time. So what do you do with
the family when when they want to take
a break from campus?
Columbia offers several options for
dining, shopping and entertainment.
There are many areas of Columbia, each

Aaron Godbold said.
Other restaurants such as Groucho's,
Village Idiot, Sharky's and Andy's Deli
are less expensive places to dine.
Also in the Five Points area are
several novelty stores: Superior Feet,
OEO, Loose Lucy's and the Joyful
Alternative.
In addition, there are several book
stores, ice cream shops, music stores and
coffee shops. Two of the most popular
coffee shops are the Courtyard Coffeehouse
and Goatfeathers.
If the weather is nice on Saturday,
it could take a few hours to eat and walk
around Five Points.
If Five Points isn't quite the ideall
afternoon for your family, Harbison
Boulevard has some tamer options. Such
restaurants are the Olive Garden, Chili's,,
Applebee's, The Outback and Ruby
Tuesday's.
The wait at these restaurants is
usually between ten and 45 minutes on
a weekend, so call and see if they have
call ahead seating to help minimize your 1
wait.
Also located on Harbison is the 1
Columbiana Centre (a mall), Barnes and r
Noble bookstore and Walmart. <
"Last year, when it rained, instead
of taking my parents to the game, we s
went shopping at the mall," sophomore (
