DID YOU KNOW…

I was born and raised here…when I moved away to attend college and serve in the Army, I realized the things I took for granted: the ease of getting around by bike, the uniqueness of Columbia’s diversity, etc. Basically, the hype about Columbia is real and I didn’t appreciate it until I lived somewhere else.”
