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.” postandcourier.com/spartanbu…
Such a phenomenal resource if you’re at all interested in writing, in food or in people.
Jane Stern, winner of five James Beard Awards, teaches a food writing class at @FurmanU. Learn more about the co-author of "Roadfood," a book series that launched a regional food movement. tinyurl.com/365ewrwt @PCGreenville @lpenso @Roadfood123 @YaleAlumni @PrattInstitute
Such a fascinating person to get to know.
If you are a foodie, you've likely read (or I hope you have) Jane Stern. Here's a really entertaining piece from @lpenso on her. postandcourier.com/greenvill…

national coverage of a Cola Waffle House's effort to unionize! Here's a link to @hannahwade2000's recent update: postandcourier.com/free-time…
Waffle House has a cult reputation as a place without rules. But several striking workers told @RollingStone that the same energy that inspires viral fights leaves the workers unsafe—and feeling like they have to choose between tips and their lives.

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.

This is what the decimation of Black Greenville looks like: Fleeing from landlords, high rent

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.

Owner of Big Dave's All-American BBQ, Dave Jones, and his son, NFL player @djjones_44, donated $10,000 to Tanglewood Middle School in Greenville County on Dec. 13 for student scholarships and school improvements. postandcourier.com/greenvill…
Incredible work here.
NEW: Sometimes, amid the many #Varsity lawsuits, it’s easy to forget where all this started — w/allegations of sex abuse by Scott Foster at #RockstarCheer. Well, we didn’t forget. Last night I published an account of what went on there, plus 2 other stories about child abuse. 🧵
