Lake City has been very fortunate that we have a community that is a caring community, it's a loving community, it's a proud community, it is very diversed, and we work together.
You know some years ago our main street looked like a ghost town.
And now with everybody working together and the partnerships that have been formed, it has transformed our downtown.
I feel like Lake City has grown so much.
I remember coming downtown and there were maybe four five shops that were operating.
Now when you come downtown it's just several shops that are there.
Several businesses that are running and businesses that are still opening.
I think what makes Lake City unique is when you come to Lake City what you expect is not what you get.
You get more.
And so, I think that's what blows a lot of our visitors away.
They're expecting this small little quaint town and then when they come, they see all this culture, and they see all this art, and just wonderful personalities, and hospitality.
And I think it's just one of those pleasant surprises that you wouldn't expect.
All what you get from the small town of Lake City, South Carolina.
I would describe it as a place that has a lot of charm.
To me the reason why it does have a lot of charm is because of the people here.
The people really care about each other and about what goes on and about the town being successful.
And there's just something special about that.
There's really so much to offer here that people don't even begin to even realize with it being such a small town.
We have a number of cultural events to the point that I'm proud to say in two thousand eighteen USA Today voted us the best small town cultural scene in America.
To be quite frank there's something going on all the time.
We would welcome you to come visit.
