When my wife and I got married and ready to buy our first home, and start a family ,we wanted to do that in Columbia, now 15 years later alot has changed but we still feel safe , it's true that crime is up, taxes are rising, but we feel since there isn't much of a night life scene you tend to spend most of your time hanging out with friends, cook outs, fire pits, pot lucks etc... but like anywhere be prepared to protect yourself and family, the old adage applies prepare for the worst hope for the best.

Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."

"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are etc., &c., &c, and et cet. The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

Check out the wikipedia entry if you want to learn more.
