The smell of powdered sugar on elephant ears at the State Fair …
The sound of rain dancing on your grandmother’s tin roof …
The taste of a sun-warmed strawberry picked and eaten straight from the vine …
The sight of the mist that folds into clouds over the conjunction of the Broad and Saluda Rivers …
The tickle of summer sweat as it skittles down your back on a famously hot Columbia day …
All these sensations and more make us realize how unique and delicious living in the South Carolina Midlands is.
