Five Points (Columbia, South Carolina)
Five Points in Columbia, South Carolina is a shopping, restaurant, and nightlife area that attracts customers from the nearby University of South Carolina and throughout the Columbia metropolitan area. It is the center for the city's annual St. Patrick’s Day Festival.
It was Columbia's first neighborhood shopping district, named for the intersection of Harden Street, Devine Street and Santee Avenue. It was home to Columbia's first supermarket, first Chinese restaurant, and the first bar in South Carolina to serve a cocktail.
When streetcars were prevalent, Five Points was a hub for moving between downtown Columbia and the residential area of Shandon.
