2017-12-23 - The Spoke Easy - 225 E Main Street - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
An obvious sign - a bicycle - should be obvious in any language in this university town with a diverse population including students from many countries. The bike, at 225 E Main Street, is over the home of The Spoke Easy, a full sales & service business, next to the former Silver Spoon - not a tea room, coffee shop or cafe - but a children's store - a beautiful one. Wish we could have been 30 minutes later and could have seen the lamp pole candy cane lighted. - EW/LW
