 I'm the economic development director for the City of Columbia and thank you for coming out here today. And what better way to celebrate another wonderful first Thursday here in the Main Street District than by commemorating another ribbon-cutting and a business opening for Cal Tech cuisine. So thank you all for taking time out of your day to make it out here. Our run of order for our speakers, first up we're going to have Councilman Ed McDowell, our District 2 representative. He's going to be followed by Matt Kennel, President and CEO of the Main Street District. So we'll be followed by Councilwoman Adity Bussells, our Outlawage Councilperson. And then finally our esteemed guest of honor today, Ms. Sunshine Cobb, owner of Cal Tech cuisine. And so with that it's my pleasure to turn the microphone over to Councilman Ed McDowell. Thank you all very much for being here. Isn't it a delightful day in the neighborhood? Isn't it good to open up a new business? Isn't it great to know that delectable foods are going to be served here, folk are going to eat, and they are going to find themselves habalically stuffed. Lunch is scheduled from 11 to 2. That's right. That's right. I plan to take part in this fine culinary. Thank you all for being here. This is a delightful chance opportunity, moving from Senate Street in 2018 to this place on Main Street. It's great, not only that this is a woman's owned business with generational recipes from Thailand. Recipes that are going to not only be eaten here, but I hope that there is a takeout menu so I can make sure my wife gets some. Miss Cobb, thank you so much for your vision. Thank you so much for your insights and your creativity. Our mayor could not be here today, but I'm sure he sends his thoughts and he's going to be dining in this place. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Well, hello everybody and welcome again to the Main Street District. We're so glad you are here. Let's say, let's let the sunshine in today. I had to say that, but we really are thrilled to have CalTide cuisine and to have your investment here in the Main Street District. The 1300 block really has become, we were talking about it before this started, a mecca for delicious and diverse food options in the area as well as outdoor dining and entertainment. You know, who would have thought that 10 years ago, but this, this is the destination with the green space, a beautiful green space across and market on Main, the open air seating concepts at Cantina 76 and now CalTide and soon to come Moa, the energy in the 1300 block is amazing and we're just all so glad that you can be a part of it. I especially wanted to thank the Arnold companies. We have several Shelley and several other representatives here today for believing in the Main Street District. I mean, they got things rocking in the Vista many years ago and now have come to Main Street and we're just so thankful for that and investing their energy in and into this district and the city of Columbia. And I wanted to thank the Columbia of City, the city council members that are here, our mayor, the staff. They're just delightful to work with and I think we really are one Columbia now. We're all working together in the same direction and good things are happening. CalTide has already become a hot spot for happy hour and more recently lunch where our staff actually came here yesterday. And in fact, I have to tell a story. My daughter did a residency in Thailand when she was at MUSC and she was the first one in our family to come to your restaurant and she said, my gosh, dad, it's better than Thailand. So we're really, we're really glad to be here. So thanks again, everybody for coming out. Thanks for everybody that worked so hard to get this open and thank you for your investment and we really appreciate it. Thank you, everybody. Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Audity Bussells, your at-large councilman, but today I'm here as a friend of Sunshine, someone who I was fortunate to meet on the campaign trail and it was one of those friendships where you talk for five minutes and you end up having a three-hour dinner together. And so to be here and support my friend, someone who has really been a visionary for what cuisine can look like, someone who's a champion for Asian American efforts in the city of Columbia and someone who is just a lot of fun and a joy to be around. I'm so excited for her as we open this restaurant. To me, the opening of Cal is more than just another restaurant on Main Street. It symbolizes a lot of different things starting with the next generation becoming our business owners and planning their roots here in Columbia. It signifies that we are a bustling growing city that has a lot to offer as we continue to actually run out of space, according to Matt, in terms of potential new businesses on Main Street, which is a good problem. And most importantly, I think that it symbolizes what Columbia is all about. If you have a dream, you can bring it to life here. And I think that's exactly what Sunshine did. So very excited to engage in some happy hour with you. Congratulations. And looking forward to eating some delicious food. Wow. Thank you so much for coming out. Thank you so much for the speakers and all the kind words. And on behalf of the CalTI team, we really are just super excited to be here on Main Street. A huge thank you to the teams that made this happen. Arnold Companies, Kurt Construction, Studio 2LR, LS3P, and just everybody that came together to make this beautiful space. Really, again, Main Street has always been a premier destination, and we're just really so excited to be a part of what's to come.
