Big rigs off the historic square - ideas By Linda Waggener Ideas have been coming in about how to encourage large trucks to use the Veterans Memorial Bypass instead of the historic Public Square in Columbia. And I have an idea to add to those linked below. Let's agree to make one thing clear right up front - we respect truck drivers. Almost everything that comes in and goes out, here and all across America, does so by truck. Drivers keep them going day and night. But, what if the City/County designates an educational campaign?

Carol Perkins: Circle the Square Previous Column: Stay OUT By Carol Perkins "Let's go circle the square," one of us would say to the driver before it was time to go home. We had probably left Gene's Freeze after going to the Strand Theater in town. One more trip around the square was a must. We were sixteen. I recently laughed at this memory and the fact that it is impossible to circle our square. We had to "square" our square, from the Corner Restaurant, past the Filling Station and around to the old upper bank (PCA building by then), and then cut the corner in front of Butler Funeral Home and pass the old post office (Sharon Howard's office) and down to the corner where the bank sat.
