Move the Nick » Main Street http://movethenick.org Fundraising effort to move The Nickelodeon Movie Theatre of Columbia, SC into a bigger, state-of-the-art space.

Last night we were treated to the lively sounds of the Upton Trio at the home of Kirkman and Kathleen Finlay, who graciously opened their doors and welcomed a crowd at a benefit concert for the Nickelodeon Theatre, the SC Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, and the Upton Trio. We can’t wait for the Trio to play at the Fox when we move in. If you love them like we do, you can see them next Tuesday, December 15th at The White Mule.

If you’re still trying to decide what to give your favorite people this year, Nickelodeon memberships make great gifts. Want to really wow your loved ones? Buy them their very own chair in the new theater, or make sure their name appears on the wall of stars in the new lobby. We won’t be ready to show movies in the new space for another year, but we have a layaway plan and you’ll still get credit for the gift this year! Come check us out the next two Saturdays at our table at the All Local Farmers’ Market at 701 Whaley.

Mast General Store recently announced the purchase of the Lourie’s building at 1601 Main Street, right next door to the Fox Theater (future home of the Nickelodeon). This is exciting news for Columbia, and further evidence that Main Street, especially the 1600 block, is on the verge of a major revitalization.
