Tax-free weekend leads to a good deal on food, too

So Tax Free Weekend is Aug. 5-7. That's the weekend where shopping malls and other retail outlets are packed like it's the day after Thanksgiving so people can stiff the state six cents on the dollar on back to school supplies like pens, paper and wedding dresses.

Woodruff Road Voo Doo

Simpsonville will get its own tap room in September

Beer lovers in Simpsonville have been at a bit of a disadvantage. To date, there's no real "tap room" in S'ville where they can have dinner and a drink from a wall of taps. (Note: There are a few bars in Simpsonville, but none fit the tap room category) Soon, though, Wild Oats Taproom will fill that void. The bar is looking at a Sept. 10 opening...

Mauldin puts limits on bar hours
