There was no one near me and the fan was swiveling toward the wall. You coukd see that I was sweating profusely. I could have changed it myself but I was trying to be thoughtful. The response from the was staff , " I was told to let it be" No other information. I went to the desk to make sure this was the 3 word response and was sent word by whomever they were asking permission from to 'let it be." Later I was told that it was not worth the effort to change it. It was oscillating against the wall! Yet I was not worth the effort to change it. I was good enough for them to get my membership money, but not worth pushing a kmob on a fan.

Our almost 2 year old has been attending Cadence 2x/wk for the past 10 months. It has mostly been a…read moregreat experience. The teachers have all been wonderful, and it's a nice, clean facility with a good schedule for the kids. He has (as expected) been sick a lot since starting daycare, but with a suspicious amount of vomiting. My husband and I chalked it up to stomach bugs going around at daycare for a while, but with the frequency, we were getting concerned and wanting a referral to a gastroenterologist to see if something else was happening with him. A few weeks ago, I dropped him off at Cadence as they were serving breakfast and saw they had omelettes. Our son is VERY allergic to both eggs and nuts. I had to re-inform the teacher about his allergy as she offered him breakfast. He has also had a doctors note, Benadryl and an Epi-pen at this facility the entire time related to these food allergies. Concerned, I spoke with the administrator, Rachel Byrd, and asked their procedures to ensure kids with food allergies aren't provided with foods they shouldn't be eating. She informed me there is a list of kids with all of their allergens posted in each classroom that teachers are supposed to check before each meal. When I inquired about processed foods, she simply said the chef does a good job of not ordering foods with allergens. However, the assistant administrator then provided me with a menu for the next week, and as she checked their database with the menus/ingredients, we found THREE foods that contained egg. I then asked both administrators what their procedures were for notifying teachers which allergens are in each meal, to which I was told with jaws on ground of realization "we don't." I have obviously removed my child from this situation, and I feel incredibly guilty that we didn't look into the potential of this happening earlier. I thought a verbal notification, doctors note, and an epi pen were enough for a licensed daycare to understand to keep egg away from my child. I never in a million years would have thought we would have to babysit the babysitter to this extreme. What is the most concerning to me, is that after providing our two weeks notice and bringing him food from home during this time, the teachers have told me they have not been re-trained and there has been no changes related to their allergen procedures. So it appears administration is attempting to simply sweep this incredibly serious situation under the rug. Unless they have very quickly gotten rid of all of the food in their kitchen and only purchased allergen free food over the last 2 weeks, which I highly doubt. So I am posting this as a warning to other parents who either have kids at Cadence or are considering this daycare - if your child has food allergies, do not go to this place!! It could cost your child their health or even their life.

All the seats are actually good, but next time I will go early for a better seat choice. I actually liked the theater, even though its been neglected for many years. The outside of building is in great shape. The bathrooms are on the second floor, theater on third floor. Elevators are old and slow, we decided to use the stairs instead. No concessions, so eat before you attend. They are taking donations for the upgrade of the seats, I will post pics. The play was excellent, all the actors did such a wonderful job! I will watch the website for future plays. My daughter attended medical school at USC for 6yrs, so I have first hand experience on what the school charges for fees. Im really disappointed that the school has failed the up keep of this historic building. Im not accepting any excuses, its actually shameful. The Arts dept, staff and students deserve better than this. If you want the real history of the theatre, read the truth. I wasn't surprised at all. https://sc.edu/about/our_history/university_history/presidential_commission/commission_reports/final_report/appendices/appendix-11/recommended-for-removal/longstreet_theatre.php

My youngest daughter has an interest in theater and I wanted to give her an experience that would encourage and inspire her to continue to express herself through acting. While I'm originally from Lexington, I now live in Honolulu, Hawaii. So I did some research online and saw that there was to be a performance while we were in town. I jumped at the opportunity and purchased tickets for us. The prices were very reasonable and we were able to get seats near the front/close to the stage - but not uncomfortably close. The theater itself was very well maintained, especially since it's a older/historic building. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. They even offered to print our tickets since we had no way of doing so. Also, the need to print tickets never occurred to me as I've converted to having most things in digital format in my day to day life. We were guided to our seats and given a thorough theater layout (pointing out restroom locations, exits, etc.) The highlight of the evening, of course, was the performance. We were both impressed with how incredibly talented the performers were at this community theater. I would love to visit again next time we're in town and if I were to live in the Columbia area, I am confident that my family and I would have season tickets.
