Join us for a happy hour with a twist. Located just west of the heart of Columbia, the Vista is a thriving area for nightlife and shopping, but how did it grow to be the entertainment district it is today? This tour will focus on the history of the Vista as well as the architecture of its buildings. Learn about the area as we stroll down Gervais St stopping a few local watering spots along the way for happy hour specials and conclude the tour with appetizers.
