Plans turn empty warehouse to arts, agriculture, and athletics center
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) -

An empty warehouse off Airport Boulevard will soon be home to what planners call the three A's: arts, agriculture, and athletics. They're calling it Soda City.

"It's a fun way to think about Columbia," Emile DeFelice said. "They call Greenville 'G-Vegas' and Charleston 'Chuck Town' and right in the middle of that is Soda City."

DeFelice says the 60,000 square foot warehouse will have a little bit of everything, food vendors, local artists working and selling, and a CrossFit gym.

"It's like a living, breathing example of eBay," DeFelice said. "It's like seeing it in person. This is the guy who grows your food, this is the guy who makes your bags, pottery, et cetera."

Soda City will fill the space left by a wine and beer distributor next to City Roots, an urban farm that fits with Soda City's hyper-local mission.

Soda City won't be the only new kid on the block. The Curtiss-Wright hangar across the street is also being renovated. A restaurant and museum will go there.

"Five years ago this wouldn't have worked, but the critical mass of artisans in Columbia, food producers and customers are here," DeFelice said. "Aren't you tired of hearing people saying why isn't our Main Street like Greenville or why has Charleston passed us by? Let's stop all that and make Columbia a great place to be. That's what we're doing with Soda City."

DeFelice hopes to see his dream become reality this fall.
