A collaborative effort from @postandcourier’s food writers across the state: this year’s record-breaking heat is impacting the entire supply chain, from farm to table. Read the story from @JaneGodiner, @parkermilner_ & @lpenso:

Call it like the TV show Suits but without the corporate grandeur. And replace NYC with Upstate SC.

A Seneca man has been charged with impersonating a lawyer in court after taking on real cases, with real defendants.

It's not the only fiction we found:

Longtime meat & three restaurant in Spartanburg wins prestigious James Beard Award. “You don't do this on your own,” an owner said. “Any honor like this is built on the backs of all the people that did something.” https://t.co/cGu2xTfwQu

Such a phenomenal resource if you’re at all interested in writing, in food or in people.

I just met Quentoria Jones in person for the first time after we worked on her story in Cost of Unity for months. She has a printout of her story with her tonight. What a joy to meet her.

Interesting look at Atlanta's BeltLine TIF, and how urban parks can drive "green gentrification." Unprepared cities reap the consequences. Thanks to @lpenso for sharing.

[Macon Atkinson @maconatkinson]

NEW from me, @fred_ckelly and @carolemotsinger: @GreenvilleNews partnered with @FurmanU to understand the dynamics of “progress” in our city. We found a stark pattern that split cleanly on racial lines, powered in part by steep wealth barriers.

Some of us have worked together for 15 years, 5 years, 2 years or 2 months - but no matter who or how, here we are … The Post and Courier’s Upstate newsroom … big enough now for a holiday season potluck 🎄🕎 ⛄️
