Carolina Gold rice: Chicken bog

Named for the golden husk that surrounds the grain, Carolina Gold rice seed is believed to have come to South Carolina with enslaved Africans well before the American Revolution. The flavorful, aromatic rice became the Palmetto State's first cash crop around 1690. As agriculture changed and tastes shifted, the rice fell out of favor with growers around the time of the Great Depression.

What will Columbia's new Congaree riverfront park look like? Here's a peek

After months of public feedback, the city of Columbia this week unveiled sweeping plans for remaking a broad swath of downtown riverfront into the city’s newest park. Plans for gardens, walkways, bike paths, community spaces and a boat launch are all slated for a future park along the banks of the Congaree River between the Gervais Street bridge and the University of South Carolina’s baseball park. The city and park designers showcased the plans for the first time at a public forum Monday at the Senate’s End event venue close to the site of the long-planned public development.
