There's been a "Soda City Market" downtown for several years. I always wondered a bit why they called it that. I figured it had something to do with soda being sold there, among other things. Because I remembered reading about some brand of artisan soda being sold there once.
Now it just hit me. Columbia is abbreviated "Cola". Cola = Soda, ergo Soda City!
