Our StoryWhat They Are Saying
"It’s 7:20 on a Monday night in Georgetown, South Carolina, and I’m sitting at the bar at the Independent, the restaurant inside the George Hotel. It’s not just crowded, but rocking: Locals are table-hopping, friends are toasting, and next to me, a young couple dressed for a night out sip martinis as they wait for a table."
