Here's part of the article from The State newspaper...

Quote:

Located between U.S. 321 and I-26 near Dixiana, the $85 million market will be 2 1/2 times as large as the old market. By comparison, it's the size of seven Walmart Supercenters combined.

In addition to the usual wholesale facilities, farmers' sheds and retail and greenhouse areas, the market will boast:

- A 400-seat amphitheater
- A 200-seat conference center
- A demonstration kitchen
- A large event sign and RV park to draw people off the interstate
- And a fishmonger, meat market and restaurant

The developers are also building a series of storefronts and stalls called The Porches and The Stables that rent for about the same price as stalls at the old farmers market. They would house the smallest of the vendors.

It's kind of an IKEA for collard greens, highlighting South Carolina's $34 billion agribusiness industry. Some billboards that have been erected feature cartoons by Robert Ariail, former cartoonist for The State.

The plan is to draw travelers from I-77 and I-26.

Also included in the project are a new $2 million state agriculture laboratory and conference center.

The state also is building $5.5 million in farmers' stalls, a produce shed and additional offices to feature S.C. products and promote the department's "Certified South Carolina Grown" campaign.

North, South, East or West, family favorites are treasured guests at the holiday table.

Each region, even each family, has its traditional Thanksgiving dishes, without which the holiday seems incomplete. (Kirk McKoy / Los Angeles Times)

When Thanksgiving spread around the country in the mid-19th century, it was in the hope that holiday good feelings would heal the rift between North and South. So, the Thanksgiving menu had a certain amount of can't-we-all-get-together culinary nationalism to it.

The main course? Turkey, of course, an indigenous American bird. It was well known that Native Americans and the early colonists used cranberries to flavor meat, so you clearly had to serve cranberry sauce with your bird. Americans were renowned pie-eaters in the 19th century, making pie the obvious dessert, and the supreme holiday pie was filled with pumpkin -- another native American ingredient.

As a result, roast turkey, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie became emphatically tied to the holiday. Until the cranberry juice craze and the discovery that turkey breast is low in fat, quite a few Americans never ate turkey or anything cranberry between one Thanksgiving and the next, and that's probably still true of pumpkin pie.

We chatted for a good long time about rock and roll, golf, guitars, how much radio sucks and lots more.

He's a funny guy. Just as this pic was taken, he said something that cracked me up, hence the goofy face.

He was in my little town to perform for a charity event.
