1. CHARLESTON<3
2. Charleston is very nice but not really in the Columbia area as you requested. And it is more populated with 3 of the 4 most populous cities in the state (chas., n. chas. mt pleasant) If you really must live in cola (why) try an outlying area. Blythewood, Lexington, Cayce. All are pretty much Cola. but the next step would be to go completely rural.
