Sweet Treats at PW'S

During the summer months there is nothing better in the evenings than a special treat of ice cream. In Rock Hill one of our favorite spots to take the family for a sweet treat is PW’s ice cream located on Herlong Avenue about 1/2 mile from Piedmont Medical Center. PW’s features homemade ice cream in a number of flavors, but they have many specialties that you don’t find in many places. My family in particular loves the Concrete which is a delicious concoction of ice cream with special items such as Oreo cookies, Butterfinger, Snickers, M&Ms and so forth mixed in. The ice creams are killer with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream scooped in at the end to keep in nice and thick. Their specialty sundaes feature a number of items sure to please any craving. Don’t forget their ice cream cakes which are to die for if you are looking for an extra special birthday cake or cake to celebrate a special occasion. PW’s is a popular gathering place for families and friends to gather on a nice summer evening or even after a ballgame. Be sure and check out this sweet treat soon. It is worth every decatant calorie.

The Past and the Present

Over the last several days many folks in Rock Hill and the surrounding areas have been following the news about the fire at the old Rock Hill Printing and Finishing Plant which is affectionately referred to as the Bleachery. In the days when the Bleachery was running at full capacity about 5,000 people worked there so most folks at one point either worked at the Bleachery or knew someone who did. The Bleachery has been vacant for 10 years therefore when it caught fire on Friday it was really an end to an end. Much of Rock Hill revolved around the Bleachery, but now you have to appreciate and respect the past as Rock Hill embraces and prepares for the future. Rock Hill has become an area which continues to attract new businesses and industries and where textiles once was king the landscape of this community continues to become truly diversified. There are so many offerings for various industries and businesses in Rock Hill and as a result Rock Hill continues to become a melting pot community bringing folks from all over the US and other countries. It is always amazing to find out what brought folks to Rock Hill and even though the reasons are varied the one common comment we here from people is how much the love the area and the people and how glad they are to call Rock Hill home.
