Smitty: Columbia is a beautiful place too!!!  My Daughter just graduated from USC( the original USC) and I have spent a lot of time in your fine town- 4 years commuting to Columbia has endeared the place to me(Those five points restaurants!!!).I was originally going to move there , but son decided he wanted to go to college here in the Nashville area- and she was coming to the end of her stay- she now is in Charlotte NC- working!!! 
Tenn is a beautiful place- I should have moved here years ago.
