Happy New Year, Columbia. 🎉 (well, almost.)

We are so grateful to kick off this new year with you + for all of the possibilities 2022 holds. This year, a song by a local musician you’ve never heard before might become your new favorite, a really great restaurant might open right down the street from your place, and that new building you’ve been watching come together for months + months could finally open to the public.

As we prepare for a promising new year, we want to know what you want to read about each morning.

Are you trying to find out if your favorite festival is returning this year, or wondering about an upcoming development in town? Do you want to know where to get the best breakfast bagel? Is there a piece of Columbia history you’ve always wanted to know about? What news gets you excited about opening our newsletter each morning?

Last year you asked that we give you happy news — lifestyle stories, best-of lists + community voices. Some of these stories last year were some of our favorites to cover. From The best BBQ in Columbia, according to Soda Citizens to If you’re really a local to Columbia, SC you know…, we had a blast answering your questions + learning more about our amazing city.

This year, to celebrate 2022 — on December 22 — we thought we’d answer 22 of your questions. So share your questions here and stay tuned as we work to cover what you’re curious about + find some answers.
