Anderson has a new drive-thru coffee stop!

7 Brew Coffee is now open at 4647 Clemson Boulevard, following a grand-opening celebration that included Caffeine for a Cause, with proceeds designated for Calvary Home for Children.

There's still time to take advantage of opening-week specials. From October 12 through October 16, the location is advertising free small drinks during Community Hours: 8–9 a.m., noon–1 p.m. and 5–6 p.m., limited to one drink per customer.

And on Saturday, October 17, Swag Day offers a free shirt with the purchase of a large drink while supplies last.

Whether you're a coffee regular or just curious about the new spot, 7 Brew's Anderson location is officially welcoming customers.

Storm drains in Clemson are getting a colorful makeover with an important message for Lake Hartwell.

Painted drains are encouraging people to think about where rainwater goes and what it can carry along the way.

Runoff from streets and lawns can transport litter, oil, fertilizer and pet waste into nearby waterways.

The story explains why this matters to Anderson County and shares five simple ways residents can help protect the Lake Hartwell watershed.

Anderson has a new place to get creative.

Social Pottery Co. is officially open at 2406 North Main Street, Suite F, offering a simple paint-your-own pottery experience.

Choose a pottery piece, paint it your way, and the studio handles the glazing and firing before you take the finished piece home.

Open studio is listed Wednesday through Saturday, while Sunday through Tuesday are available for private parties and reservations.

Whether you're looking for a different date night, girls' night, family outing or a little creative time for yourself, Social Pottery Co. gives Anderson another experience to try.

Two little boys. Two BIG personalities. Two forever homes still waiting to be found.

Meet Buzzy and Chevrolet, two sweet puppies living with a foster family through the Foster Ambassador program.

Buzzy is a 4-month-old, 20-pound black-and-white pup who starts out shy but becomes a devoted, affectionate sidekick once he trusts you. He's neutered, loves car rides, and is ready for adventures.

Chevrolet is a playful, cuddly, chocolate-and-white puppy around 2 months old. He's crate trained, sleeps through the night, and enjoys other dogs. Because he's teething, a home without small children is recommended. He will be neutered before adoption.

Both puppies are in foster care, not at the shelter. To arrange a meeting, email amelia.maxwell@andersoncountysc.gov.

Help these boys find their people by sharing their story!

Fall color is arriving across the Upstate, but it doesn't happen everywhere at once.

Lake Hartwell Country has highlighted scenic destinations across Anderson, Oconee and Pickens counties, from mountain overlooks to quiet lakeside views.

Higher elevations around Sassafras Mountain and Table Rock typically turn first in early to mid-October. The color then travels downhill, reaching the Lake Hartwell shoreline later in October and into November.

For an easy local outing, consider Sadlers Creek State Park in Anderson or Lake Hartwell State Park in Fair Play. For mountain scenery, try Highway 11, Wigington Overlook or Devils Fork State Park.

Before you go, check current foliage conditions and park access. There's still time to plan a colorful fall drive close to home.

If you’re handling a non-emergency, need help with local utilities, or looking for community resources, these key Anderson contacts have you covered.
