John Lane has done it again. In his new collection of short stories (“Interval Ownership: New Tales From Edisto,” 2026, Mercer University Press, 171 pages) highlighting week-long vacations on Edisto Island on the coast of South Carolina at the Shearwater residency that operates on what is called an “interval ownership,” we get a new genre of fiction that is a kind of “beachfront bingo,” as he calls it, and at the same time is a kind of fictional memoir.

Former Georgia Coach Retires from Football After 45-Year Career

“Character often outweighs physical talent,” Shawn Watson once said. It wasn’t just a quote to stick on the walls and forget. It was the philosophy Watson stuck to no matter which team he ended up working with. He spent decades shaping young athletes at institutions like Colorado, Nebraska, Georgia, and Louisville. He worked with talents like Teddy Bridgewater, and so, he knew exactly how to assess a player’s character. He’d always look for players who showed resilience and a strong work ethic. But 45 years of doing that at 13 different programs can also be exhausting. The Wofford Terriers hea...

Walking tours will give Spartanburg residents up close look at zoning

City of Spartanburg residents will have the opportunity to learn more about ways the city might revamp its zoning regulations by taking part in "Sidewalk Conversations" guided walking tours on Nov. 14. A tour of the Union Street corridor and Converse Heights will take place from 8:30 to 11 a.m. A second tour will take place from 1 to 3:30 p.m. and cover and the North Church Street and South Converse areas. The tours will begin and end at the city administrative offices at 295 East Main St. Buses will take participants to the walking tour locations. The idea is to give residents perspectives on development patterns of the past and how they might apply to future city planning, said city communications manager Christopher George. George said the city's zoning ordinance hasn't been updated since the late 1990s. Other regulations have been in place since the 1970s, including larger residential lot sizes in keeping with the era's norms for suburban development. With input from residents, leaders will consider whether future zoning rules should allow additional areas of the city to have smaller residential lot sizes or mixed-use development projects. To RSVP for one of the walking tours, go to Code

Is the thermostat just out of batteries?

Check four things in order when a thermostat goes blank: the batteries, the breaker, the float switch and the wiring. Most blank screens trace back to one of them. In Greenville, where the July average high is 90.3°F according to the National Weather Service’s 1991 to 2020 normals, a dead thermostat means a hot house fast. This guide shows what to check, what to leave alone and when the thermostat itself is the problem.

Taylors Storage Site Could Become AI Hub, Greenville Council Vote Looms Nov. 17

A storage facility on Wade Hampton Boulevard in Taylors could soon house a small-scale artificial intelligence computing facility, with Greenville County Council set to take up the proposal on second reading next Tuesday, Nov. 17. The project would convert part of an existing building at the Prime Storage site — sandwiched between a Texas Roadhouse and a residential street — into what developers are calling an inference point, rather than demolishing anything or breaking ground on new construction.
