Lunchtime sketches in Columbia, SC

The South Carolina Statehouse is a great place to take a lunch.  The monuments on the grounds show a complicated history.  Civil War generals memorialized next to Civil Rights activists:

Wade Hampton on horseback with the African American monument in the background, to the right of the Statehouse.

Ben Tillman's statue is at the far right.  Several groups have called for its removal. 

The Koger Center for the Performing Arts (right) is one of my favorite buildings, designed in the late 80s by local firm GMK.  To the left is the new Darla Moore School of Business under construction.  It was designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects (his website opens with a pretty cool clip of him sketching) with our firm as engineers.

Favorite lunch spot near our office, Drip on Main Street.
