A visitor's guide to the Friendly Midway, Columbia, SC, an area Where Friendliness Flows

Saxon Village

Saxon Village, once a blighted neighborhood known locally for its crime and drugs, has been razed and is being rebuilt with attractive and affordable new housing. The Drew Wellness Center, operated by the Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation, punctuates the rebirth of this inner-city neighborhood. Read Street, the worst of the worse is now developing into a neighborhood of 'city homes' which is Columbia's answer to the more famous 'town house'.
