Oh, so there's something wrong with SCians? Well excuse us, we didn't know that your yankee, PA shit doesn't stink! =)
As for the zoo, I was afraid you'd be disappointed. Riverbanks has been doing all sorts of renovations in the last few years and if I remember correctly, they're on some kind of "ten year plan" to get it back to par. It used to be an amazing zoo, and at last count was in the nation's top ten, but it won't look good until they finish renovations and get all their old animals back. By the way, you're right...they did give some to other zoos. But only for holding, as far as I understand. I will always defend the integrity of Riverbanks Zoo, simply because I was born and raised in Columbia and I remember when it was spectacular. I know it can be that way again, and I'm sorry you were disappointed. But hey, maybe I can swing by Oburg on my way to Charleston sometime in May (when I'm out of school) and we can spend a day down there! I'll show you the old mansion I used to live in (downtown...it's on the National Historic Registry), some neat sights, and especially the Aquarium. I haven't been, but I did go to the IMAX theatre next to the Aquarium. I hear the fish are amazing!
