Southern hospitality was born in South Carolina.
Here's a well produced media spot about the value of having company (tourism).
The town of Yemassee, like many small Southern towns, has faced steep economic challenges over the years. In order to revitalize the town they love, members of the community have created the non-profit Yemassee Revitalization Corp.
For the second year they are holding a special Railroad Dinner to help raise funding for their projects. (One of which includes transforming the old train station downtown.)
