FROM NEWS RELEASES
♦ Relax, road warriors.
Outdated stickers on FIVE POINTS
parking meters listed monitored
hours as 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday
through Saturday, but Columbia’s
Parking Services Department is
changing hours of operation to
begin at 11 a.m. That’s two extra
hours for visiting your favorite
tobacconist and/or occult
magazine shop.
♦ Traffic on Tuesday in front of
Food Lion in FIVE POINTS was
snarled to one lane in each
direction. This might be a blessing
in disguise, however, as pulling out
of Food Lion’s parking lot has
never been easier. Just ask the lines
of traffic stalled behind a backhoe.
♦ No more reports of the 1200
BLOCK OF MAIN STREET. Just live
your life, eat your vegetables and
one day the road will reopen.
♦ Businesses remain open in the
aforementioned sections. Obey
the construction area speed limit
(25 mph) and don’t park illegally,
folks.

Landscaping crews on Tuesday replaced the bark in campus flower beds. The trucks used hoses to
spray bark around the beds.
