Long-awaited “diet road” work underway in Seneca
The long-awaited state DOT approved project to improve a Seneca thoroughfare has begun – with early work noticeable over the weekend on EN 1st Street in the direction of downtown. In all, the resurfacing will take in all of North First Street – both east and west. Called a “Road Diet”, this will include changing parts of the existing 4-lane road to three lanes. And, for the stretch through the downtown, three lanes are envisioned to be safer for motorists and pedestrians. Zack Sizemore, project manager for contractor King Asphalt, requests that during the work all drivers slow down, stay off cell phones, and follow warning signs to help ensure the work progresses without danger to drivers, crews, and pedestrians.

“S” is for Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel
“S” is for Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel. The Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel is an unfinished nineteenth-century railroad tunnel located near Walhalla. In the 1850s Stumphouse Mountain played a key role in South Carolina's attempt to participate in antebellum America's commercial revolution. Planners contemplated cutting a one-and-one-half mile railroad tunnel through the mountain to link the state's rail lines with the Blue Ridge Railroad coming from Knoxville, Tennessee. This enterprise, if successful, would have linked Charleston with the commercial heartland of the young nation. Unfortunately, the price of tunneling through Stumphouse Mountain proved prohibitive and the project was abandoned. In 1951 Clemson College purchased the tunnel and for several years experimented with curing blue cheese in its cool, damp environment. Clemson leased the tunnel to the Pendleton Historic District in 1970, and the Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel was open to the public.
