I was passing through Columbia the other day and decided to cruise through Five Points. Holy hell is it depressing now. A literal wasteland.
Harpootlian and everyone that has allowed this to happen can get fricked. They've destroyed a central part of USC's culture and commerce, and have intentionally made it so that drunk college kids will be driving around town to get to house parties instead of keeping them in one centralized area. All because the neighbors of Five Points are mad that THEY decided to move in next to a college bar scene.
It's clear that this ultimately will benefit McMaster and the other slum lords who have been looking to redevelop Five Points for years. They want to get in on all of the money that is moving down south, yet they don't realize that there is absolutely no draw for outsiders to Columbia. It will all be for nothing.
Pavlov's and the other Five Points dives were a huge part of my college years and my love for USC, and I hate that the students of today won't have a similar experience.

Also regarding five points (and the guy who owns pavlovs)
Saw this article as well:
The guy who owns a few spots (Jake’s and Pavs are/were two) involved in some kind of drug ring.
They say it’s Marijuana?!? I don’t doubt the politicians behind it to get them out, and like you said, build up the 5 points area.

There’s another article from FitsNews that doesn’t think it’s weed.

But pretty interesting that he owns Pavs and now it’s closing.
Don’t know why I didn’t put two and two together at first

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - The owner of several bars in Five Points faces drug charges after a recent arrest.
Jonathan Sears, 39, is the co-owner of The Bird Dog, The Cotton Gin, The Gourmet Shop, Jake’s Bar and Pavlovs in Five Points, as well as Hendrix in downtown Columbia.
He is charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana, and a separate charge of possession with intent to distribute near a school. No drug is listed in relation to that charge.

Yeah, the last few times I've gone to 5 points I always got the same vibe. But at the same time I only come back home during the holidays or summer so there no students in town, so I just chalked it up that.
I haven't been to 5 points when students are in town in a while so hopefully it's not that bad?
