I recall charter buses from USC going up there in droves in the early 2000s sponsored by Frat Boys. Then I think they started to get out of hand and got scaled back though I believe the the races still happen. Aiken seem to be attempting to edge inon their market though I don't know if Aiken actually has a race as opposed to simply breeding and possibly training. Other than the Iris Festival which I have heard has gotten larger Not sure if Sumter has anything else ...maybe "shawfest " or something out there ? At any rate Sumteris growing SLOWLY despite the fact that it has no interstate no mountains no beaches and is not part of a major metro. Columbia and Florence are certainly having an impact but the Gamecock City strives on
It seems that downtown has finally started to hit its stride . I recall in the 90s at a city council meeting some residents were really upset that city would "spend one red cent on downtown... it's a crime infested dump and nobody is going to go down there unless their lookin for a wig and Chinese food"my how far we have come .....
Absolutely, they are doing a good job, and actually making an honest effort. I did ask someone about the horse races, they said they are still going on.

If only we could four-lane ALL of 521 to I-20. Move Lilfred's to downtown Sumter, pave over everything else and call it good.
lol Lilfred's should definitely move downtown. Plenty of nice spots down there for it and it would be a huge addition. Can't argue about 521 either City seems to be growing that way due to the swamp along 378 and Shaw which is causing deevelopment to move that way
Anyone knows what being built on Patriot Parkway next to first church of nazarene. The lot has been cleared in almost a perfect rectangle and pipework is now being installed
Any word on what is being built near the new Wal Mart Neighborhood Market on the other side of Walgreen's? Looks to be a fast food place of some kind.
