Online buzz is building for a new Japanese restaurant in Fort Mill, one of several new restaurants in York County.

Groups like Fort Mill Eats on Facebook have been flush with photos and recommendations since the recent opening of Konnichiwa. The Japanese restaurant opened in the former Zaxby’s space in the Baxter area, at S.C. 160 and Pleasant Road.

Ikomang Yasa is president of the family-run Konnichiwa Group with almost a dozen restaurants across the Carolinas and Ohio. There’s also one in Charlotte.

“Our concept and menu is casual dining restaurant and variety of traditional Japanese sushi, steak, bento box, habachi rice bowl and sushi sashimi, nigiri and roll, special konnichiwa ramen soup, chicken wing and seafood,” Yasa said.

Each Konnichiwa location has different varieties of chef specials.

“The most dinners you would try is bento box, because the prices is very reasonable and good for family,” Yasa said. “There’s is a lot of food on it.”

It comes with fried gyoza, fried or steamed rice, mixed vegetables, meats, sushi, California roll or noodle substitute.

There also is the toro, a fatty tuna, along with sea urchin, bluefin tuna, salmon, yellowtail, giant king crabs and more, Yasa said.

Konnichiwa is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

Konnichiwa is one of multiple new local eateries. Brooklyn Pizza & Pasta opened earlier this month in Rock Hill. The 133 S. Herlong Ave. restaurant offers by the slice and whole pies. There’s New York style, Sicilian, stuffed and thin crust options. They also have stromboli and calzone.

Another new opening is TWF Burgers. The Gold Hill Crossing spot in Tega Cay offers tenders, wings and fries that lend its name. It’s at 887 Gold Hill Road in Tega Cay.

Eventually the restaurant will be open 11 a.m. to midnight except on Fridays and Saturdays, when it will stay open until 2 a.m. Burgers, shakes and salads also are on the menu.

Sparklers and cannons all went into carts quickly.

FORT MILL, S.C. — Fireworks in South Carolina are flying off shelves as people prepare to light up the sky for the Fourth of July.

"It has been kind of insane, but it is always exciting when people come together to celebrate the Fourth of July," said Regina Toney, the digital media manager for Area51 Fireworks in Fort Mill.

It’s one of the busiest weekends of the year for fireworks stores.

“We like it for people to come in as early as possible so that you can find the best variety,” said Kim Pyles, seasonal manager for Red Rocket Fireworks. “Now we have not had any distribution issues, so we have been really stocked."

Pyles said the store has some very popular items that are marked down as low as they can possibly be. Meanwhile, Area51 has seen over 3,000 customers Saturday.

“I know there is inflation, and everything is going up,” explained Toney, "but we are adamant about giving our customers the best deals and savings when it comes to enjoying the holiday.”

Those are deals that have customers like Michael Buchanan shelling out the big bucks.

“If it is to buy one get one free or it’s one that shoots a lot of times -- that is what you want,” he said.

Rolling out with a full shopping cart, Buchanan is ready to put on a big show for his loved ones.

“We have been doing it for years,” he said. “I’m almost 50 years old and my uncle used to do it for us, and we couldn’t wait for him to pull up. Now I just keep the tradition going.”

One thing store owners want to hammer home: don’t let your festivities turn into a tragedy. Safety is key. Make sure to buy your fireworks from a licensed dealer.

“You don’t want to buy fireworks out of somebody’s trunk, no matter how good the deal is or how enticing it may be,” said Pyles. “You need to come into somebody who is licensed, so you know those products have been properly tested and meet all of the government standards.”

Keep fireworks away from young children and pets. Moreover, have plenty of water to douse the fireworks once they are done burning. Don't forget to read and follow all of the directions carefully.

“Someone will read a roman candle label and then you have an artillery shell label. Those are two different types of fireworks so you have to read the label of each package of fireworks that you are going to be using because they are different” said Toney.

Another reminder: fireworks that leave the ground are illegal in North Carolina.

The South Carolina American Legion Baseball Championship is heading to its final destination this week at Segra Park.

The home of the Columbia Fireflies will serve as the host site for the final three days of the double-elimination state tournament which starts Monday. The semifinal and loser’s bracket championships will take place Friday with the final taking place at 1 p.m. Saturday and 4 p.m., if necessary.

Four of the eight qualifiers are Midlands' Legion teams in this year's tournament. One of the first-round games Monday takes place at Heathwood Hall. Host team Richland Post 215, one of three League 4 teams in the state tournament, is hosting Camden Post 17.

Richland is coming off a first-round bye, while Camden held off West Columbia in three games. The two teams split the first two games before Post 17 held on for an 8-6 victory over Post 79. The Lower State bracket is paired with Chapin/Newberry Post 193/24 and Florence Post 1.

The two teams face each other Monday at Legion Field in Florence.

Post 1 rolled into the tournament after outscoring Chesterfield 21-1 in a two-game sweep. Chapin-Newberry, which is seeking its fourth state title since 2013, also swept its second-round matchup with Charleston Post 147.

The Upper State bracket has Greenwood Post 20 traveling to the home site of Rock Hill Post 34. They are paired with Lexington Post 7 and Spartanburg Post 28 which face each other Monday at Duncan Park Stadium in Spartanburg.

Post 28 swept Greer while Post 7 rebounded from the Game 1 loss to Fort Mill Post 43 in extra innings with come-from-behind victories in Games 2 at Catawba Ridge High School and Game 3 at Lexington High School.

This is the second straight state tournament appearance for Lexington under head coach Drew Towery, who believes the success of Midlands' teams is only the start.

"This is where baseball is at, I'm telling and it's gonna be that way for a long time because this area, I mean, it's, it's boiling with talent," said Towery. "It just shows, I mean, you look at our league, if you guys come out and play and stuff like that and enjoy Legion ball and understand what it means and stuff like that. This Midlands area can go a long way."

The two finalists will earn automatic berths to the American Legion Southeast Regional starting Aug. 3 in Asheboro, North Carolina.

Tickets are reportedly sold out and 5,000 fans are expected to attend.

Student marching bands from across the nation will high step into McKinney to compete in the latest leg of the 50^th annual Drum Corps International (DCI) competition.

A total of six marching band teams from Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, California, South Carolina and Texas step out at 8 p.m. tonight at McKinney ISD Stadium.

DCI’s annual competition brings together some of the best marching bands and features dancers and musicians aged 17-21 for a chance to earn enough points for the DCI Founders Trophy. Since this year marks the 50^th annual tournament, the competitiveness is at a fever pitch.

Dean Cimini, the president of the McKinney non-profit Marching Music Made that helped DCI organize tonight’s showdown, says the six drum corps teams consisting of over 1,000 participants are awarded points from professional judges from match to match. As of now, three-and-a-half points separate the first from the sixth place team.

“This is truly like a Broadway show,” Cimini says. “Some of the marching bands will walk between a mile-and-a-half to two miles during the show.”

The McKinney tournament is also on the “back swing” of a DCI Texas tour that’s taken teams across the state and the midpoint of the entire season to compete before a panel of judges. Meticulous scores are awarded based on categories such as visual arts, brass and percussion performances and overall performances.

“This match [in McKinney] is really important,” Cimini says. “We had the midpoint competition in San Antonio and now they’ve only got three weeks to the finals in Indianapolis.”

Tonight’s McKinney competition will feature performances by the Blue Stars from La Crosse, Wis. Carolina Crown from Fort Mill, S.C., the Colts from Dubuque, Iowa, Genesis from Austin, Tex. Phantom Regiment from Rockford, Ill. and the Santa Clara Vanguard from Santa Clara, Calif. Cimini also noted that 12 participants are students from McKinney schools.

“Texas is one of the top resources for drum corps — especially in drum lines,” Cimini adds.

The musical performances range from classical to modern hits like Sergei Prokofiev’s War and Peace Symphonic Suite and Ballad of an Unknown, Meetings Along the Edge by Ravi Shankar and Philip Glass, Symphony No. 5 by Gustav Mahler and Kashmir by Led Zeppelin.

Each team’s 11-minute performance encompasses a theme with hand-picked songs and choreographed numbers. Austin’s Genesis, for instance, will perform a theme based around the classic Wizard of Oz story called “Dorothy: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” with songs made famous by Jethro Tull, Elton John and Britney Spears as well as some original tunes by local composers like Key Pouland and Mike Huestis.

The McKinney tournament kicked off on Monday night with drum corps performances at Tupps Brewery. Cimini says tickets are already sold out for the main event tonight at McKinney ISD Stadium with 5,000 fans planning to attend.

Says Cimini, “The way I describe this is it’s marching band meets a Broadway show in 11-minute, energetic performances that stimulate the auditory and visual senses.”
