(NEXSTAR) – Unlike some other Mother’s Day gestures — e.g., buying mom flowers or a new bathrobe — taking your mother out to brunch is a gift for the both of you. Picture it: You and mom, out for a fancy brunch, sharing endless laughs over endless mimosas. Just gabbing and gossiping away, stopping only to gobble down Belgian waffles or eggs Benedict. It’s a lovely way to spend the day — but you’d better secure a table at a nice spot, lest you and mom find yourselves eating Eggo waffles and drinking vodka-spiked Tang over your sink. To help with your search, the analysts at Yelp have ranked the ..read more

(WCBD) – Keeping the area beautiful is the goal of one Moncks Corner man, affectionately known as “Beach Santa,” and on Monday morning Howard Hogue will reach a milestone in his efforts to clean up litter in the community.

BENNETTSVILLE, S.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) -- Queen City News tried for more than a week to get someone inside Bennettsville City Hall to explain what's going on with the city's budget. On April 16, city leaders tried to meet privately about some sort of trouble related to the city's accounting of American Rescue Plan Act tax dollars. City council voted during the April 16 special called meeting to go behind closed doors to discuss the accounting problem, but Queen City News Chief Investigator Jody Barr objected to the closed-door meeting, citing a ban in the state's open meetings law prohibiting p ..read more

CHARLOTTE (CHARLOTTE SPORTS LIVE) -- If this past draft taught us anything, it's that Panthers general manager Dan Morgan might very well be a master of deception. Remember when he said, they were fine staying put with their two second-round picks? “We have the 33rd pick, which is essentially a late first-round pick,” he said the day he and head coach Dave Canales were introduced. Except in reality, 33 isn’t 32 and is NOT in the first round. Enter a trade to land wide receiver Xavier Legette, from South Carolina. That was the first misdirection. The next one came in the very next round when t ..read more
