I read in the state paper today that a Ruth Chris franchise will be in Columiba, Myrtle Beach and Charleston.  The Ruth Chris in Columbia is scheduled to open 2007. This is great news for all those steak lovers out there!!

Ruth's Chris is awesome. We could use a Morton's too.

Two rusted, mangled pieces of steel from the ruins of the World Trade Center will be featured in a memorial at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center. Organizers hope to have the memorial open by Sept. 11, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in New York that killed nearly 3,000 people. But first, they must raise $175,000 by August to buy 60 tons of granite.   The memorial will feature two 25-foot granite representations of the two towers, engraved with the name of every Midlands soldier, police officer, firefighter and emergency medical service worker who died while on duty since Sept. 11, 2001. The steel beams will connect the two pillars and cross in the middle.

Most of the work for the memorial is being done for free, including donations by L-J Inc., Gregory Electric, Sun Printing, Pine Press Printing and the Tyler Ryan Group. The major cost is for the granite and landscaping around the memorial.
