Aiken County

Mar 12, 2009 | Comment(s) 97

The County of Aiken, South Carolina, has to be one of the state’s best-kept secrets, and for good reason. It’s been a top vacation spot for wealthy yanks for well over 150 years. You would never know it, but the guy in line for coffee owns several banks. It’s been the warm winter retreat not for the rich and famous, just the rich.

Only a couple miles down the road is North Augusta, former location of the Hampton Terrace Hotel. A regular guest list for this hotel, which burned down in 1916, sits in the Aiken County Historical Museum. Names on the list include Rockefeller, Forbes, Taft, Churchill, and Vanderbilt. Yeah, it was that kind of place. And though the area is still a popular retreat for equivalent distinguished Americans and Brits, I never felt too out of place. Everyone we met was incredibly warm and welcoming!

The reason for so much vacationing old money is that Aiken County is the heart of steeplechase horse racing. The state highways are lined with miles of thoroughbred horse farms. They have some of the most beautiful specimen of equine I have seen since leaving Texas. In fact, there are more Olympic athletes in Aiken than anywhere else in the country during February for steeplechase training.

I was worried there wouldn’t be much for young people like us in such a distinguished town, but it’s also home to USC Aiken, rated the #1 public baccalaureate college in the south! So, naturally, we found incredible pizza and plenty on draught at The Pizza Joint, and the best darn breakfast around at New Moon downtown. They roast their own coffee beans and make a killer spiced apple Belgian waffle.

Grady Welch,

CU Crew

dual saws Jun 24, 2011

We're taking a look in the big dogs first, so the first tool we're featuring within our number of saw cut through anything reviews is the Hitachi C12LSH 12 inch slider. This saw is an absolute beast, also it appears like one too...I can not decide whether it looks more like a 68-pound BMX decal, or the slime-green Seahawks jerseys. Anyway, someone at Hitachi thought this Predator-styling was cool, and that i don't mind so long as they keep making 'em such as this one...In the interest of full disclosure, I have been a big fan of Hitachi saws, which one doesn't disappoint.
