Who’s This Local Celebrity Dancer or Sports Player?

The local middle school sports program funding was cut by the Fort Mill School board when the economy headed south a couple years ago. Parents formed a district wide school booster organization (FMSDAB) to raise money and keep middle school sports in the schools. One of the major funding activities by the middle school booster program is a Dancing with the Stars style fundraiser.

Dancing with the Stars Fort Mill is this Saturday 4/28/12 at the Tega Cay Glennon Center beginning at 6pm. Six local celebrity dancers  (more…)

Did you know there is a German deli located on Hwy 160 in Fort Mill? I just had a deli sandwich called the Tavern Special at the Bavaria Deli which is located in the Fort Mill Gateway Commons on Hwy 160. It was a great sandwich! The sandwich consisted of a roll with prosciutto, lettuce, mozzarella cheese, tomato, fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt/pepper for $4.95.

The Bavaria Deli claims to be a German Specialties store with meats, sausages, cold cuts, cheese, krauts, mustard’s, pickles, jams, honey, tea, coffee deserts and more. It’s a German butcher-shop and a great lunch take out shop. You’ll also find larger meals like German meatballs, stuffed pork chops, goulash soup, stuffed pot roast and more. And if you like Bratwurst, this is the place to come. They also cater. (more…)

Muzak, which started in 1934 playing phonograph records for hotels and restaurants, currently delivers its product to subscribers over satellite radio. Muzak relocated to Fort Mill SC in 2000 from Seattle.

As you are driving around York County, you may see from time to time a re-zoning hearing sign posted on undeveloped property.  I happened to see a re-zoning hearing sign on the corner of Pleasant road and Carowinds Blvd.  I thought it would be of interest to see what was posted online at the York County govt website about the zoning hearing.

It would appear that QuickTrip, a convenience store/gas station company,  needs to rezone the parcel to be able to build and operate their type of  business on the property. Here is the online information:

On April 4th 2011 The York County Planning Commission will hold a hearing for the following re-zoning request
