The Lancaster News announced last night that it had been sold to Kentucky-based publisher, Paxton Media Group (PMG). See story below. The Lancaster News also publishes the Carolina Gateway, Indian Land’s only newspaper. Over the past decade, more than a third of all newspapers have changed ownership. This will be the first time since The Lancaster News has changed ownership in 32 years.
In other news, over the weekend, Ballantyne got a new Asian raw bar. Prime Fish plans to elevate the level of sushi in Charlotte. I met with the owner Chef Robin Anthony who shared his love of sushi (and saki) with me. Read what he has to say and see photos of his restaurant below.
I hope you all have a happy Memorial Day Weekend!
