Many of the vegetables have family roots, too. Corn, squash, okra, butter beans, collards, and cabbage have come from a farmer tied to the family that runs the place.

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. They also frankly addressed the challenges to getting the project off the ground in such a challenging location. “It’s a tricky situation,” because much of the 100-acre site, long undeveloped at the edge of Columbia’s Vista district, sits in an area that is frequently flooded when storms swell the size of the Congaree, said Sarah Astheimer with the New York-based landscape architecture firm Field Operations, which designed plans for the future park. “It will be a green sponge,” Astheimer said. “Previous plans called for more development and buildings, and that would not be a smart thing to do.” Instead, the designers plan

Is it legal to throw your pet's poop in neighbor's trash can? What SC law says

It’s trash day in your neighborhood, and you have your can sitting along the curb waiting for pickup. Then along comes a neighbor walking their dog and throws their pet’s bag of feces into your trash can. Putting aside the fact that the act is not very neighborly, is it against the law? South Carolina law says that a person cannot “dump, throw, drop, deposit, discard, or otherwise dispose of litter or other solid waste upon ... private property in the State for which he is not the legal owner or a person otherwise granted permission by the legal owner.” Horry County has separate solid-waste rules , and using someone else’s bin without permission could still prompt a complaint. The law also states that “garbage” that is placed in trash cans for pickup “shall not include human or animal feces.” There are other city ordinances with rules about picking up and disposing of your pet’s waste. Myrtle Beach and pet poop Myrtle Beach’s ordinance says that it is unlawful to "fail to promptly remove and properly dispose of all feces left by the animal on any public property or any private property not owned by the owner.” It goes as
