For anybody that loves to hear some one pick and tell stories then they might want to head ove to the Marshall Parker Auditorium at 7 PM on Tuesday the 20th for a night of music and storytelling from Appalachia, featuring Bob and Melody Thomason. The marshall Parker Auditorium is located at Tri County Technical College on Hwy 76 between Anderson and Clemson.

Bob Thomason has been delighting audiences with his stories and songs for almost thirty years. A native of Oconee County SC and a Clemson graduate, Thomason weaves the lore of the Applachian mountains along with the music of that area played on dulcimer , banjo and guitar. Bob is also a master dulcimer maker as well as player having built over 1000 instruments.

I read this article today and it really got my blood pressure up. What are they thinking? If a Post Office in Anderson has to be closed, why would it be the one on this side of town? With my office right down the street from this post office on S Main, we really are one of the few real estate companies that are located on this side of town. So it really hit home. Sometimes this side of Anderson gets treated like the proverbial red headed step child.

And since this post office is located in one of the most popular shopping centers on this side of town, it is super convenient for people when they are running errands. Not everybody wants to go to Clemson Blvd to do their shopping!

Post office officials have told the residents they should call their congressional representatives if they want to advocate for keeping their local post office open. So please take the time to call or email every elected official you can and tell them South Anderson is important and has people that vote!

Gracie Floyd, a member of the Anderson County Council, stood outside the South Anderson branch Tuesday and talked to people about how closing the branch would affect them. She said about 1,500 residents have signed a petition advocating for the post office to stay open. So at least we have Gracie Floyd looking out for her constituents. But unless you get involved, then you will not have any right to complain if they do close this Post Office!

And this same article said they are not looking at closing the North Anderson Post Office. Why not?

If you are in the mood for a spooky good time I suggest you check out The legend of Sleepy Hollow at the Clemson Little Theatre. The Clemson Little Theatre is located in the Pendleton Playhouse at 214 S. Mechanic Street in Pendleton, SC. This is a Clemson Area Youth Theatre production directed by Fe Whoolery and is full of Halloween spookiness and fun.

Ichabod Crane has come to Sleepy Hollow in search of the good life ... and a wealthy wife who will supply it. One night at a party, Ichabod proposes to local beauty Katrina Van Tassel, but he is run off by her boyfriend and must then make his way home through a terrible storm. Along this dark journey he is pursued by something shadowy and towering ... something intent on taking his life. Can the tales of the Headless Horseman be true? Poor Ichabod may soon find out!
