Columbiana Centre - Raw & Real Retail
This is our walkthrough of the Columbiana Centre Mall in Columbia, SC from August 15, 2019. This is a successful thriving mall on the northwest side of the state capital. A rather recent addition to the town, it succeeded in killing off the other three malls in the area. Despite this fact, it is a very pleasing place to walk around. The southwest motif with liberal uses of arches and clerestory windows make for a very pleasing experience. It really is no wonder it did so well to put its competitors out of business.

Here is a portion of a 2010 article from the great SkyCity2 blog:
Columbiana Mall, built in 1990, was just right for the time and place. As the newest mall, it has since emerged completely the leader of the malls of the region despite the fact it is a one-level center in comparison to larger (and older) Columbia Place Mall and Richland Mall, both struggling. Columbiana Center also essentially replaced Dutch Square Mall, the city's oldest and smallest mall, though Dutch Square continues to operate today. Columbiana Center is located in Irmo in Lexington County just across the border from Richland County on the very edge of the Columbia city limits. It is the only mall in Columbia not in Richland County, and it is located at the southwest corner of Harbison Blvd and I-26.
Columbiana Center was very much a planned mall years before it was built. When I lived in the city in 1986, the site was nothing more than a pine thicket, and adjacent Columbiana Drive was known as Mall Road. Mall Road was nothing more than a five lane road to nowhere that ended abruptly at a large barricade past Archers Lane, but resuming past Crossbow Drive as a two lane road. By 1990, around four years later, the mall was completed featuring only two anchors Belk and Sears with an empty anchor pad on the south end and one facing I-26. The mall was built with a Spanish theme throughout including evenly-spaced repeating arches across all the corridors.
1993 saw the beginning of many changes in the anchors at the mall. This was when Dillard's joined the mall in conjunction with a new wing extending diagonally north, leaving the original two empty anchor pads free. J.B. White joined the mall in 1995 as the third anchor. It is not known what the other anchor pad was intended for, but it is assumed that was either for Macy's or Tapp's, whichever came first. Oddly, neither considered joining the mall at any point. In fact, Macy's instead had agreed to join Dutch Square, but those plans never materialized. By 1998, the situation became more complicated when Dillard's bought out JB White. The problem here was that Dillard's already anchored the mall. As a result, Belk moved from its former location in the mall into White's with Parisian opening its second location in the city in the former store.
The anchor shake-up at the mall only helped to solidify Columbiana's position as the city's premier shopping mall. After Dutch Square fell into obscurity over the failed Macy's bid followed by White's entry at Columbiana is when the mall grew increasingly as the leader of the regional market. All other malls were located much further from the hot growth market around Irmo/West Columbia. Today, all of the upscale stores of the city are located in the mall as well with the tenant line-up full. In fact, the mall is reaching complete dominance of the market with all other malls in the city struggling to survive since the early part of the past decade. The last major change to occur at the mall was when Parisian left the Columbia market in 2005. In its place, JCPenney opened a location in the mall in the store that had opened as Belk. The result is that only one original anchor continues to operate in the same location it opened in which is, of course, Sears.
In all, Columbiana Centre is a reasonably attractive mall. However, a few things stand out to me. First, why is the most successful mall in the city only on one level? In fact, both of the city's multi-level malls are failing. Second, while the design is quite original it heavily emphasizes the stucco, which makes the mall feel cheap. However, all that stucco looks to be very well maintained. I did not see any mildew or deterioration on it. On the inside, the design is quite original and I like the fact it has a very clear old Spanish theme to it. It does look, however, like the mall may have been stripped down at some point. I seem to remember fountains and palm trees which simply are not in it today. I do not much like the name, though. I would have preferred Harbison Mall, but of course it is not mine to comment on. Obviously Columbians approve, because the mall was swamped on my visit.

Sign Language Interpreter During Hurricane Irma Actually Communicated Gibberish
A sign language interpreter who appeared at a Florida press conference before Hurricane Irma hit was actually signing gibberish, according to members of the deaf community. Experts say Marshall Greene signed words including pizza, monsters and bear hug. Officials in Manatee County say they asked Greene, who's a paramedic and lifeguard, to step in because he knows a little sign language and no one else was available. His brother, who is hearing-impaired, has since defended him.
