Carolina Memories: Gone But Not Forgotten

Frank's also had great breakfasts in the morning for those like me that lived in the surrounding areas like Harden and Devine.

Hot, fast and good.  Always busy in the morning.

The University Terrace dorm for married students.

Built in 1937, the apartment complex was purchased from the City of Columbia Housing Authority by the Carolina Research and Development Foundation in 1953, 1958, and 1962.  The name was not changed after the University acquired the property.  Located as the corner of Blossom and Bull Streets, it provided on-campus housing for married students until its demolition in 1995 to make way for a parking garage.

I always used to pass by the "UT's" when going to the dining hall at the bottom of Patterson to grab dinner and knew a student who lived there with his family.

RIP UTs

Great memories.  Sad that so many places are gone.  I remember going to a place called Muldoon's.  Over by Sandy's I think.  They had $5 buckets of beer.  Probably about 2.5 to 3 pitchers worth of beer in this plastic bucket.  You got plastic cups for drinking and you would just dunk them in the bucket.  Sometimes you would get an extra cup for the dunking and fill your plastic cup.

Muldoons (yes across from Sandy's) closed in the mid 90's. Columbia's first brew-pub, Hunter-Gatherer, opened up in that location not long after. Not sure if that place is still around. But used to go there on occasion.

Was always a popular choice because it was buffet style - aka "all you can eat." And we ate a TON, because I would often save $$ by going the "one huge meal a day" route.

It seems Patterson was free to us living on campus when I attended but not very good. Russell House was much better but cost money. I worked at a deli and German restaurant in Columbia Mall the whole time I was on campus so I didn't have to eat much there.

 
It seems like places in Columbia stay in business longer than most. I tried to find a picture of Goatfeather's and found out it had just recently closed and reopened as Goat's some of the same employees.

Yep. It was Mr. Dunderbach's when I first started working there in high school, then Don Cobble who owned it broke away from that franchise and renamed it Hofbrauhaus. He has passed away but I'm still close to his family who all worked there as well. 

 
Yes, that site is where I got some of the pix I posted .... interesting for sure.

 
Does anyone remember JD Stickeys beer bar?  We used to go there for happy hour.  $2 pitchers 4-8.  A couple of doors down from Papa Jazz records on the corner there (Greene St and Saluda Ave area).  They had a good sandwich as well - Grabwich.  Maybe it was better after the $2 pitchers.  I can't be sure.  My room mate had a crush on this bartender there Paige.  She was pretty and had these amazing green eyes.  Scary what you remember from college sometimes!! 

The bathroom had some great graffiti  as well.  "She offered her honor, I honored her offer.  All night long I was on her and off her."  And then something from JD that owned the place to one of his friends.  Something about for every liquor drink you have, I will drink 2 beers.  I guess they were having a drinking contest and documenting it on the bathroom wall.

Brew, the sandwich was called "The Gagwich," because it was named after its creator, my fraternity brother Mike "Gags" Glagola! Mike occasionally posts in the FB OOTS site, or at least he used to - keep an eye out for him and tell him you were a Gagwich fan!

 
Papa Jazz is still there; bought some LPs from them last year.  You had to make a reservation because of Covid.

They carry a small selection of new vinyl LP pressings for both old and new musical acts.

The place is like being inside a time warp once you get inside the store.

John - my friend always called it the grabwich and that must have stuck in my head!  It was the gagwich.  Loved that sandwich.
