COLUMBIA, SC — The transformation of Greene Street in Columbia’s Vista into a narrow, tree-lined thoroughfare linking USC to the riverfront could begin in March.

The revamped Greene Street is designed to be the heart of a new campus for the University of South Carolina, complete with a landmark plaza across from the entrance to the Colonial Life Arena.

The project, nearly a decade in the planning, is the first major construction to break ground using Richland County’s penny-on-the-dollar sales tax for transportation improvements.

The new Greene Street corridor is expected to provide a seamless extension of the university into what are now industrial areas in the Vista, where land has remained undeveloped despite being within view of the state capitol.

I remember when they were built, my oldest brother was in school then and worked on them over the summers. Baker, Burney, Douglas, LaBorde (home to the horny LaBordes), Snowden. So that had to be around '61-'64 or so.

By the time I got there they were already well-abused. A buddy of mine and I climbed Burney one night, from the outside, just to watch these two gals we knew on the third floor south corner inside the courtyard ... go-down on each other, live. We were drunker than cooter brown ... but they cut the lights on and gave us a good show. It was maybe the first year for the girl dorms - probably my Jr year if I remember correctly ... having the girls right there among us was like a kid in a candy store back in those days.

All buildings ended-up co-ed eventually, right?
