Columbia<\/a> is one of only five American cities that is home to both the state capital and the state university.

Today, the domed Classical Revival capitol is reflected in the blue glass of this 18-story wedge-shaped tower that rose across the road on \u201cSouth Carolina\u2019s Main Street.\u201d<\/p>\n
