Columbia, MO

We went to Pizza Tree in Columbia for dinner tonight and then strolled around "The District"

Situated between three colleges, The District (50 not-so-square blocks downtown) is a hip, active and artistic area. The District's friendly and energetic vibe is up early and stays late, with a lively mix of historic architecture, sidewalk cafes, retail shops, and restaurants.

The streets were bustling, mainly with students. The bar near the pizza place had $2 drinks, so you can imagine the crowds.

We were struck by the "Keys to the City" sculpture outside the City Hall Addition.

We saw lots of interesting public art and architecture.
