All the lights were off in the room where I saw Prince and Sugar Ray in 1997. Not in the same evening though. For the next few minutes I thought I could summon some former navigation skills and find that stairwell where I gave directions to Mark McGrath my freshmen year at USC.

On Thanksgiving morning I had entered the Carolina Coliseum near the Elephant Room on Park Street. In the late 90's I had often navigated the depths of the building while covering basketball for the student paper. I passed two goals labeled, "Frank McGuire Arena" and the area where the Coach Eddie Fogler used to give his post game press conferences. The gears in my head cranked away as I tried to remember the bowels of the venue that also housed my media arts classes. I followed the sign for the locker room knowing it would take me out to the main room where I assumed they would be feeding up to 2,000 people. No such luck. Eventually I gave up trying to find my way around the basement of the coliseum and walked outside to enter through the main concourse.

"Thursday, a line stretched outside the Assembly Street entrance as guests waited for the traditional Thanksgiving feast. The meal included turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce, salad and bread. The dessert list was just as long, ranging from pumpkin and sweet potato pie to pound cake and Rice Krispie treats."

Sometimes I have the opportunity to shoot and edit video stories. Most of the time it depends on deadlines and still photo workloads. This one is about kids trying to ice skate outside of The Columbia Museum of Art on Thanksgiving day.

He also mentioned the so-called "Friendship Nine," the nine black men who refused to pay bail money after being jailed for trespassing and breaching the peace during a sit-in in Rock Hill, sparking more civil disobedience protests."

Donald Trump Offends Nearly Everyone With Mockery Of Disabled Reporter

from The Inquisitr

"Donald Trump is no stranger to controversy. Just days ago, he caused a furor following the violent assault of a “Black Lives Matter” protester at his Birmingham campaign rally. While a half dozen or so white Trump supporters hit, kicked and shouted racial slurs at the black protester, The Donald replied by calling security to “get him [the Black Lives Matter protester] the hell out of here.” When the media criticized how Donald Trump reacted to the violence, he responded by saying that maybe the protester “should have been roughed up,” CNN reported."

Hillary Clinton Looks Past Primaries, and to Republicans, in Strategy to Beat Sanders

from The New York Times

"At rallies these days, Mrs. Clinton criticizes the Republican presidential candidates for their economic policies (“Our economy does better with a Democrat in the White House”); she knocks their foreign policy approaches and says their positions on immigration and women’s issues would set the country “backwards instead of forwards.” What she does not do is mention her main Democratic primary opponent, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

SC Flood was 1 in 9,000 Year Event

from WLTX CBS Columbia

"South Carolina is still scarred and recovering from the October flood.  The rainfall that the state experienced on October 2-5, 2015 was historic by any measure.  In Columbia the rainfall for October 3rd through the 5th broke 1, 2, and 3-day records.  The same records were broken in Charleston, but for the period of October 2-4.  An analysis of all of the rainfall data has been done by the National Weather Service and shows that all of South Carolina saw substantial rain with the heaviest from the coast into the Columbia area."
