Only 50 cents

Old grenade found on Melrose Inn property

by Samantha Hurst

Tryon Police Chief Jeff Arrowood met State Bureau of Investigation officers at the Melrose Inn Thursday, Nov. 17 after owner Marilyn Doheny called to say a potential grenade had been found on the back portion of the property, located on Melrose Avenue in Tryon.

“We don’t have many things like this called in,” Arrowood said. “But we don’t want to take it lightly. Our job was mainly to rope the property off so no one could get to the grenade and potentially be harmed.”

David Salmeri, who works as a handyman for Doheny, said he was cutting vines and clearing brush when he came across the grenade in the ground.

He said at first he thought it was just a piece off an old item of furniture.

“So I kicked the thing to get it out (Continued on page 3)

of the ground,” Salmeri said.

“Once it came loose I immediately realized what it was – it was just so rusted, but you could see the clasp and pin.”

Salmeri quickly found Doheny, who called the Tryon Police Department.

“We thought maybe it was some sort of antique from the Civil War or World War II. It was very heavy,” Doheny said. “We were just surprised because someone has been on the property with a metal detector and didn’t find it.”

Salmeri said the overgrowth on the back edge of the property likely prevented anyone from coming near it.

“Before the landscaping crew came in, it was just so overgrown back there – there’s no telling how long that thing has been there,” Salmeri said.

Investigators did not take the grenade lightly. They carefully removed the item from the property and sealed it into an explosives box to transport it to a lab where it could be destroyed.

subdivisions to determine whether an environmental impact study will be required and allowing minor subdivisions to take advantage of the county’s cluster development opportunities.

The Polk County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on the proposed changes on Monday, Nov. 21 at 5 p.m. in the commissioner’s meeting room of the Womack Building in Columbus. The regular meeting begins at 3 p.m. but commissioners will break from the meeting to hold the public hearing.

Polk County Planner Cathy Ruth reviewed the changes during the commissioners’ Nov. 7 meeting. Ruth said the UDO committee is working on combining the county’s ordinances but decided to take out the subdivision ordinance and address it separately.

Ruth said the committee has included a separate property owners’ association section to protect property owners; this section was added because of recent incidents of subdivision owners going into bankruptcy.

The new subdivision ordinance draft also includes two processes for approval depending on whether an environmental impact study is required. If a major subdivision scores 100 points or more in the new proposed point system, the approval process will be quasijudicial. If the subdivision scores less than 100 points, the approval process will be administrative through the planning board.

A major subdivision will be scored on a point system depending on many factors, including the acreage; open space; whether the

1 dwelling unit per 5 acres property is in the mountain and ridgeline protection range; whether the subdivision has public water and/or sewer; whether it’s located near trout waters, land trust/conservation properties or historic properties and whether the property contains slopes, among several other factors.

Using clustering development gives a subdivision credit in the point system. A property receives high points for being in the mountain ridgeline protection area, being in a flood area and not being connected to a public water system, for example.

Ruth said the committee is attempting to address environmental concerns with the changes. With the point system, the committee is trying to give incentives for developers to avoid developing on slopes and to include open space to minimize the impact on the environment.

An environmental impact study is a document that describes the positive and negative environmental effects of a proposed subdivision. If necessary, the environmental impact study will be required at the preliminary plat stage of the approval process for major subdivisions, according to the draft ordinance. Traffic impact studies may also be required for major subdivisions.

Perhaps the greatest proposed change is the lot size minimum requirements. Polk County has had a 7-acre lot minimum since 2008 for major subdivisions without public water and sewer. Currently, the smallest lot allowed is 5 acres with public water and sewer.

The draft subdivision ordinance includes options for minimum lot (Continued on page 5)

McCurry gets probation for Grover Industries break-ins

by Leah Justice

The man accused of stealing copper from Grover Industries in Lynn was sentenced last week in Polk County District Court.

Timothy William McCurry, 39, was charged on Sept. 2 with three counts of felony breaking and or entering and three counts of felony larceny after break/enter for the alleged crimes.

Judge Athena F. Brooks handed down two six to eight month sentences, which were suspended for McCurry to serve two terms of 18 months of supervised probation.

McCurry was also fined $100 and court costs.

Officers with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office had been investi-

gating the stealing of copper from the former plant for about a month and a half. After setting up surveillance around the property, officers figured out a routine and on Sept.

2, Sgt. Mike Wheeler went to the plant around 3 a.m. and found a vehicle there.

Officers swarmed the plant and found McCurry hiding in a drainage area in the basement.

Officers estimated McCurry had been taking copper from the plant in small amounts on each visit over a three or four month period.

An estimated $150,000 of damage was done to the building, with an estimated $30,000 to $40,000 of copper stolen, according to sheriff office reports.

Art in Bloom event to expand to Landrum in 2012

by Samantha Hurst

Art will bloom to life in downtown Landrum next spring just as it did this past year in Tryon.

The Landrum City Council Nov. 8 approved a request to block off a portion of Trade Avenue May 12 for Art in Bloom, an art and garden bazaar sponsored by the Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC).

Event chair Judy Warden brought the request to council and explained that the event helps to promote farmers, artists and nurseries, all while working to beautify the towns involved.

“The concept of artscapes is to develop in Tryon, Landrum and Columbus small pockets of spaces to create public art,” Warden said.

“This event raises funds to support that project.”

The event started in Tryon with 10 vendors. Organizers anticipate at least 30 signing up this year.

Vendors who participate kick back 15 percent of their sales from the bazaar to the artscapes project. In its first year, Art in Bloom raised $1,500. The next year it raised $2,500.

Vendors and attendees travel to the event from Asheville, N.C., Hendersonville, N.C., Shelby, N.C. and other surrounding communities.

TFAC board member Stuart Evans conceived the idea for the event a few years ago.

“I think this is just the beginning

www.karamanproperties.com redeemed - 19

of something that could grow into a really exciting event that will not only beautify our area but support our artists,” Stewart said.

Evans said the arts center wants to focus on the “TLC” of the area – Tryon, Landrum and Columbus.

Evans said in the past, the group has always promoted the Columbus Farmers Market at the bazaars but would like to do something more formal to connect the events.

Melanie Jennings, president of the Landrum Business Association, said she would be in favor of participating in this event instead of Landrum’s own Home and Garden Stroll in an effort to connect the communities in a common goal.

About 400 people took part in the last garden tours and more than 600 visited the bazaar in Tryon last year, Evans said.

The weekend-long event in 2012 will run May 11-13. On Friday, May 11 there will be a gala to raise money for the Tryon Fine Arts Center; Saturday, May 12 will feature tours of five gardens and of course, the bazaars in Tryon and Landrum; and then Sunday a reception at TFAC will be held for a juried sculpture show.

Evans said she currently knows of no other juried event that focuses strictly on sculpture.

“We think this is something that could grow and become of regional importance,” Evans said.

Tuba Christmas XIV set for Dec. 3 at PCHS auditorium This year’s Tuba Christmas concert will take place Saturday, Dec. 3 at 1:30 p.m. in the Polk County High School (PCHS) auditorium.

Tuba Christmas in Columbus was inaugurated in December 1998 with 39 players. This free program of carols and other Christmas music began in the Stearns School auditorium. Since that year, the concert of tubas, euphoniums and baritone horns has grown to 70 players, and the performances have moved to the PCHS auditorium.

Nationally, Tuba Christmas events were created through the efforts of Harvey Phillips, a famous tuba player, in the 1970s.

Now there are more than 200 Tuba Christmas events in the United States.

Locally, Tuba Christmas was started by coordinator Stanley Howell of Columbus. Bill Bryant of A.C. Reynolds High School has been the fourth conductor.

Cindy Gilbert, band director at PCHS, is the host; Jean Howell of Columbus is the carol singing director and Manfred Walter of Mill Spring is the assistant coordinator.

ebration in honor of Wayne. There were tears, hugs, and in it all a powerful connection of great love and caring.

Aaron Burdett, a hometown guy who’s made good on the music scene, strummed songs, giving lift to the spirit of Wayne. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house.

Saluda News & Notations

by Bonnie Bardos

People spoke and remembered a 28-year-old young man who died too soon, with much tenderness in their hearts. Stories were told.

Laughter and smiles came out with the sun. Toasts with “Wayne’s beer� rose high like a Wayne smile, good fresh coffee steamed, the food table was loaded high, and love surrounded every person there. People sat down and ate.

They talked. They held each other.

They visited. They hugged. They cared and they loved.

There it is: that deep-rooted Saluda community bond with warmth, connectedness, and appreciation of one another. Like a big family, folks may fuss and fight, but when it comes to hard times and loss, there they are— holding each other up. Tragedy can hit any one of us at any time: and it goes to show that each of us matters, and we’re part of the thread that make a tapestry beautiful. We’re not alone.

Kids ran and played outside the Purple Onion: their laughter a

symbol of life and new beginnings; that life does go on. Those kids are part of a community and ‘belong’ to the village. Somehow, I have a feeling that Wayne is somewhere smiling.

Congratulations to newcomer Lynn Cass and incumbent Leon Morgan for winning the recent Saluda election for city council seats.

Saluda had a great voter turn-out compared to the rest of the county.

We rock the vote up here!

The bike parade starts at 2 p.m. I usually stand outside my house watching leather-clad riders roar off into the sunset with toys strapped on their bikes, and find myself wishing to ride along!

Thank you to Saluda Methodist Church for their wonderful turkey dinner fund-raiser at Saluda School. I hope they will award Thomas Monts and Hop Foster an award for overseeing parking.

Many volunteers chip in to roast turkeys, make pies, sell tickets and park cars.

Lady Cardinals look to be aggressive under new coach

by Joey Millwood

At times, the Landrum girls’ basketball team was dominant last season. The Lady Cardinals finished 14-10 after a first round playoff loss to Ware Shoals.

The biggest loss this season from that team is Jordan Jenkins, but the new head coach Deon Brice is excited about what’s in store for the Lady Cardinals.

Landrum is returning eight starters this year, including starting point guard Macy Atkins and senior forward Skylar Henderson.

Henderson brings toughness to the floor with scrappy defense, hard rebounding and relentless offense.

“I’m excited about this year,” Henderson said. “I think we are going to surprise a lot of people.”

For Atkins, this year’s team is going to bring some intangibles to the table.

“I expect us to work harder this year and hopefully win a state title,” Atkins said. “We are going to work together and improve as a team.”

For Brice, this is his first year as the head coach of the Lady Cardinals. Last season, he was on the bench next to retired head coach Roy Parton as an assistant.

He’s the Landrum Middle School football coach and coached middle school basketball in District Five.

What’s he going to instill in this team on the hardwood?

“This year’s team is going to be aggressive,” he said. “I think we’ll be able to move the ball up and down the court quickly.”

The goals for this season are simple, Brice said. First, the Lady Cardinals want to contend for a region championship and second, make the playoffs.

Lady Wolverines look for speed from young team

by Samantha Hurst

Coach Craig Culbreth expects the speed of his varsity girl’s basketball team to be its strength going into the new season, which begins Nov. 12 against Rosman.

“For us to be a competitive team this year we will have to get the ball up and down the floor quickly, and play good pressure defense,” Culbreth said.

Last year’s team ended the season with a positive 14-12 record but this year ’s team lacks experience.

Culbreth will see six seniors return this year, along with six

juniors, a sophomore and a freshman taking to the court.

But out of those six returning seniors, only two were starters. So, Culbreth said this year would be about constant improvement and hard work.

“We are working hard to develop our talents and chemistry,” Culbreth said. “Our plan is to continue to improve all season long. We play in a very tough conference.”

One of those returning starters will be senior Jamie Hrobak. Hrobak is a 5' 11" post player who holds the school’s (Continued on page 35)

Polk County’s Jamie Hrobak inks scholarship package with Brevard College

by Daniel Hecht

Although she has just begun her senior year at Polk County High School, Jamie Hrobak has already enjoyed a measure of success on the softball diamond that any athlete would be proud to attain. As the staff pitching ace for the Lady Wolverines, Hrobak has compiled a truly remarkable list of achievements.

A three-time all-conference and two-time all-state selection, Hrobak was named District 8 Pitcher of the Year as a junior, posting a record of 18-6 with an ERA of 1.32 and 225 strikeouts. Last season, she became the first single pitcher to throw a perfect game in the history of Polk County. As the team’s MVP, she already holds the school record for career victories with 47, even though she is still months away from throwing the first pitch of her senior season.

With such an impressive list of accomplishments, it is little wonder that coaches from colleges across the southeast have lined up for the opportunity to secure the services of Polk’s ace flamethrower. And on Wednesday, Hrobak put an end to the suspense surrounding her athletic future, signing her letter of intent to attend Brevard College next fall.

Snagging an athlete of Hrobak’s caliber is a major recruiting victory for Brevard head coach Britne Stubbs, who has molded the Tornados into a winning program since taking the reins four years ago.

According to Polk County Athletic Director Jeff Wilson, the bidding for Hrobak’s services was intense.

• Polk Wolverines (continued from page 34)

single game rebound record with 17. Culbreth said Hrobak is a well-conditioned athlete with a tremendous work ethic.

He expects Hrobak to take on a key leadership role.

Culbreth is also looking for his tallest player, 6’1 senior Rachel Vining, to grab a few

Polk senior Jamie Hrobak (pictured with parents Mandy and Mike and PCHS Athletic Director Jeff Wilson, Principal Mary Feagan, brother Jacob and coach Jamie Thompson) signed a scholarship package with Brevard College Wednesday, Nov. 16. (photo by Daniel Hecht)

“The great thing about it is that so many schools wanted her,” commented Wilson at the signing Wednesday. “My goal is to get a player five or six schools to look at and visit, but Jamie did far better than anyone we’ve ever had.”

Given the multitude of available options, Hrobak acknowledged the decision was difficult, but ultimately she felt Brevard was the best fit for her.

“I really like the coach, and I met the team – I spent a lot of time on the campus, and I really liked it,” said Hrobak. “It was hard, though – it took quite a while to decide.”

Hrobak, a member of the Future Teachers of America club at Polk

and a National Honor Society student with a 4.01 GPA, intends to major in education.

“I’m planning to be a math teacher, probably sixth grade,” said Hrobak, who has put significant, and specific, thought into what she hopes to accomplish in the future.

Hrobak’s parents, on hand for the signing, clearly approve of their daughter’s choices.

“Our focus is on the education, primarily,” said her father, Mike Hrobak. “I want her to do what she wants to do with softball and have fun, have a good education and be the best that she can be.”

The fact that Brevard is close to home is a bonus as well, according to Jamie’s mother.

“I’m happy that she is happy,” said Mandy Hrobak. “First and foremost is education, and Brevard has what she needs.”

With the weighty decision of selecting a college behind her, Hrobak is free to focus on other important matters, including playing basketball, concentrating on her studies and enjoying her senior year.

Then, of course, there is some unfinished business to take care of next spring, when Hrobak hopes to help lead Polk to a state softball championship.

Given her talent and determination, there is no doubt that the Lady Wolverines will be a strong contender in the race for the state title.

rebounds and blocked shots of her own.

Culbreth said his other seniors, such as Cassidy Mazzilli, who can play all positions from guard to center, and guard Alyssa Montgomery, will also need to step up in leadership roles.

“Montgomery will have to get our offense running and get the ball up the floor. Also on perimeter are Shalyn Brown

and Amber Lynch. Both players will provide our team with speed and athleticism,” Culbreth said.

Junior Savannah Deaver, another 5’ 11”post player, is fast for her size, Culbreth said and will need to score and rebound for the team. He said Deaver has tremendous potential.

Returning from injuries will be senior Taylor Collins and

junior Emily Miller.

Katie Ruff, Makenzie White, Sarah Davis and Lyric Flood will move from the JV squad to varsity this season, while freshman Kara Overholt is also expected to bring skill and knowledge of the game to the varsity Lady Wolverines.

Assistant coaches this season are Mark Mazzilli and Michelle Fagan.

As everything was being handled, Emily (Smiley) our new board chief, pulled me aside and asked, “Lennie, what is her life expectancy?”

“God bless you, dear,” I answered, patting her cheek, “at this point her life span is indefinite.”

Smiley tearfully nodded in understanding.

You sent all those angels and saints in my path to help me make it so. Thank you for the blessings bestowed upon me that I may help in some small way to assist Your beautiful creations.

I hope You don’t mind that I call them my kids.

I have often received great praise for the work I do and I humbly accept but I never forget that all honor and glory belong to Him, from whom all blessings flow.

God bless and thanks for listening.

While it’s true vitamins and minerals are essential for optimum health, it’s equally true that starting a supplement regimen may be

contraindicated because of certain medications, or even medical conditions you may have that you’re not even aware of.

How seniors can guard against identity theft Dear Savvy Senior, What tips and resources can you recommend to help seniors guard against identity theft?

My next door neighbor, who’s 79, recently had her identity stolen and I want to make sure it doesn’t happen to me.

- Cautious Connie Dear Connie, Identity theft continues to be a big problem in the U.S., affecting around nine million people every year – many of whom are seniors. Identity theft occurs when someone gets access to your Social Security number (SSN), bank or credit card account number, or other identifying information and uses it to steal from you. While there’s no ironclad protection against ID theft, here are some things you can do to minimize your risks.

Guard your SSN: Treat you SSN like your most prized possession. Never carry your Social Security card around in your wallet or purse, don’t write your SSN on checks (except those you send to the IRS), and never give your SSN, credit card number, checking or savings account numbers to strangers who call, visit, text or send email messages to you even if they seem legitimate. And don’t carry around your Medicare card either unless you’re going to the doctor. Your Medicare card contains your SSN. Be wary of emails: If you use the Internet, don’t trust emails that claim to be from the Social Security Administration, the IRS or other government agencies.

Also be leery of emails that look like they’re from your bank, telephone company or credit card company. Remember that only phony emails will ask for

Savvy Senior your credit card number or SSN. For more Internet fraud tips including a list of common online scams see onguardonline.gov.

Secure your mail: Empty your mailbox quickly, or consider getting a P.O. box or buy a locked mailbox to deter thieves.

Also, don’t leave outgoing mail in your mailbox.

To put a stop to prescreened credit-card offers that thieves look to intercept, use the consumer credit reporting industry opt-out service at optoutprescreen.com or call 888-567-8688 – they will ask for your SSN and date of birth.

Destroy your trash: Buy a cross-cut paper shredder and shred all records, receipts, statements, preapproved credit offers, mail solicitations or other papers you throw out that have your financial or personal information.

Monitor your accounts: Review your monthly bank and credit card statements carefully, and see if your bank or creditcard issuer offers free alerts that will warn you of suspicious activity as soon as it’s detected.

If they do, sign up for them.

Watch your credit: Check your credit report at annualcreditreport.com or call 877-3228228. You can receive one free report a year from each of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion), so consider staggering your request so you can get one free copy every four months.

Set up security freezes: You can help protect yourself by set-

ting up a security freeze on your credit reports at all three credit bureaus – Equifax (equifax.com, 800-685-1111), Experian (experian.com, 888-397-3742) and TransUnion (transunion.com, 877-322-8228). With a freeze in place, no one, including you, can open new lines of credit in your name. This typically costs $5 to $10 per person per credit bureau each time you freeze or thaw your credit report. Some states offer free freezes for IDtheft victims.

Take action: If you ever think your identity’s been stolen, immediately contact your creditors and financial institutions to report unauthorized charges or debts, and close any compromised accounts. Then place fraud alerts and security freezes with the three credit reporting agencies, and file a report with your local police and with the Federal Trade Commission at ftccomplaintassistant.gov or 877-438-4338.

Savvy tips: For more tips on preventing identity theft visit idtheftinfo.org and idtheftcenter.org. You can also hire an identity theft protection service like ProtectMyID, LifeLock or TrustedID to keep tabs on your identity for you. These companies typically charge around $10 to $20 per month, but the services they provide are typically no better than what you can do yourself by following the previously listed tips.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, Okla. 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

The marquee at the Tryon Theatre advertising the Nov. 1 showing of “Tales and Lagends of Tryon Horse Country.” (photo submitted by Sally Walker)

Showing of Tryon horse country documentary a sellout More than 250 people flocked to the Tryon Movie Theatre on Nov. 1 to see the premiere of “Tales and Legends of Tryon Horse Country,” a documentary about how this area’s horse community was formed.

Mane TV, a contemporary Internet equestrian news and information channel, was on hand to capture viewer comments.

Mane TV’s Sterling Johnson reported that every person interviewed had rave reviews for the insights, rare footage and stories embedded in the documentary, which had taken producer Sally Walker more than three years to shoot and edit.

The documentary’s story line took viewers from the early 1900s when Carter Brown came to town through the introduction of horse farms such as Chinquapin in the old Hunting Country and the formation of the Tryon Hounds, Block House Steeplechase, Tryon Riding and Hunt Club, Tryon Horse Show, United States’ Tryon-based Equestrian Olympic Trials, on up to the formation of FENCE and the new Green Creek Equestrian Center.

Stories about Tryon-based characters such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, David Niven and Gordon Wright added colorful anecdotes, which prompted waves of laughter.

Expounding on the virtues of Tryon were current U.S. Equestrian Olympic Team Chef d’Equipe (coach) George Morris, famed equestrians Bucky Reynolds and Betty Oare, Columbus native horseman Gerald

Pack and others.

Morris, who is a well known and highly respected hunterjumper coach in the United States and internationally, called Tryon “a horseman’s paradise.”

Oare, who grew up in Tryon as the daughter of well-known horseman J. Arthur Reynolds, stated, “If you can’t develop a love of horses in the Tryon area, you can’t love horses.”

Pack said, “Tryon will always be known to horse people throughout the world.”

Spontaneous continuous applause broke out when producer Walker stepped on stage to express her gratitude to the people and businesses who helped make the project possible. She also thanked the Grace Foothills Church for using its equipment to project the movie for the showing and the Tryon Theatre for making the evening possible.

When asked if there would be another showing of “Tales and Legends of Tryon Horse Country” in the near future, Walker commented that a spring showing is under consideration.

“In the meantime,” she said, “people can get an exact DVD copy of the showing at The Book Shelf and Little Mountain Farm Supply beginning Nov. 15.”

According to Pack, this documentary was so important because “The history is what makes our future.”

Favorite Get your Sidestreet fix

by Leah Justice

If you’ve tried it once, you’ll find yourself coming back for at least a weekly Sidestreet “fix.”

Starting as a tiny restaurant literally on a side street in Tryon where everyone knew your name, the restaurant has become a must have for Italian lovers around the region.

Sidestreet Pizza & Pasta is a popular family-owned Italian restaurant that has a taste for everyone.

And by saying family-owned, Sidestreet means it.

From Greensburg, Penns., the Capozzi family first found its

roots in Tryon in the early 1980s.

In 1984, just out of school, Bobby Capozzi, the youngest of “Big” Bob and Marlea Capozzi, bought a small pizza place in downtown Tryon. Bobby Capozzi called his dad, Bob, still in Pennsylvania, to come help with the business. Big Bob was a brick mason by trade, but had worked in pizza parlors as a young man.

Bob and Bobby changed the recipes for the dough and sauces and made them their own. The same recipes are still used today.

“Gina, Joe, Nick and Marlea eventually found their way down (Continued on page 25)

• Sidestreet (continued from page 24)

south, as our close-knit family couldn’t be apart for too long, and SideStreet pizza became a full family affair,” says the restaurant’s history.

The first building was a local favorite where Tryonites frequented and children gained memories of eating pizza and hanging out before going to the local, one movie per week theatre nearby.

In 1995, outgrowing its space, Sidestreet bought a former warehouse in Tryon and created a restaurant equipped with more seating, a bar, more parking and an expanded menu.

Sidestreet now has frequent visitors from Polk County and Landrum, Asheville, Spartanburg and Greenville, S.C., and beyond every week. It is also a destination for friends to meet while visiting home from abroad.

The three brothers and two sisters still run the restaurant.

“We don’t have any chefs,” said Gina Capozzi Stott. “To make it into our kitchen, you have to have a really good work ethic. We all still work here. We love it. We love to feed people.”

From pizza, pasta and soups to must have Sidestreet wings, there are too many favorites to list and the restaurant is known to deliver exceptional, consistent food at reasonable prices.

“To do this as a family means everything,” said the youngest, Marlea Capozzi. “We are extremely blessed. We are able to share our family’s love and put it into our food. I personally enjoy throwing love into every entrée/pizza/sub that I make.

Most people may say, ‘I could never work with my brother or sister.’ For me, I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

Sidestreet was recently named the Gaston Grubs favorite, from WSPA News 7, by a wide margin. The award is selected by local fans in the Spartanburg, S.C., region.

“Growing up as an Italian family, dinner was a wonderful, memorable experience,” states an expert from the restaurant’s history on their website at www.sidestpizza.com. “From ‘pasta night’ on Sundays to ‘pizza night,’ we had a passion for good food from the beginning.”

“We continue to be so fortunate to keep your business and it gives us pride to serve you the best possible food we can make at a reasonable price. We strive for consistency, and hope that you enjoy your time eating at our little ‘hole in the wall.’

We love getting to know you, our customers, and will give you a wave from the kitchen as we are cooking. Thank you again for your patronage, and we hope to see you soon.”
