Local sales tax can be imposed, in a way, with tourism tax "Tourism tax" works like a local sales tax, but masquerades under guise of "tourism tax." Cashectomies work the same, and pain, is bit worse because retailers aren't as up front about it. CM Joyce Coomer writes: Ed, you'd have to have someone check how this works, but local governments, I am sad to say, can impose a "tourism tax" in varying amounts.When I questioned the cashier, I was told there was a tourism tax on every sale made in the county, regardless of the item. Most places attach the tax to only what can be considered "tourisism" related - lodging, food, entertainment. - Joyce Coomer Thanks, thanks, thanks, Joyce Coomer: For the alert, for the reminder of this "sleeper" tax. If it happens here, let's hope they are very, very forthright about it. Don't guess they give a card to locals so they don't have to pay a "tourism tax" when they're eating their burger. - EW 2013-09-24 09:53:14 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary

Maybe you have to be from PA to appreciate term - PA Item Found scrolling through What's Cooking in Columbia Today Cynthia A Meyer writes: While scrolling down Columbiamagazine, I noticed that 206 Country Grocery & Grill offers "Philly Cheese Sandwiches, just like I used to serve at my restaurant in PA." Notice he did not say Pennsylvania or Penna? Maybe it is just something that you have to be from "PA" to appreciate; we as transplants often refer to our Mother State as "PA" much like locally grown folks refer to Tompkinsville as T'ville or Elizabethtown as E'town.Thanks, and good question about the the Terrible Towel. It would come as no surprise if there is one at 206 Country CG & G. If there's one in the Smithsonian there may be one on Ricky Burton's wall. It's a museum, and people who have asked him details sometimes find that even he doesn't know what all is there. Maybe there a Terrible Towel - or some other Steelers artifact - hiding in plain site up there. Rick, the owner, has been everywhere in his other life as a truck driver, but PA seems to have been a favorite place of his. We'll endeavor to find out, if curiosity and/or Philly Cheese craving doesn't get the better of you and you find out first. - EW 2013-09-24 03:10:21 | Comments | Printable version Birthdays and Anniversaries for September 24 Happy Anniversary, Becky and Kenny Jennings (1972) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Henry and Jessica Anderson (2016) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Alex Michael Martin (2008) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Derek Wilkinson (1990) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jesse Chance Huckaby (1999) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Judy Ann Coomer | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Julie Walker | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kathy Hunt | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Katy Roy (1999) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lachana Scholl | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Landon Walker Bryant | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Paige Smith (1991) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Scotty Thompson (1963) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Sharla Gard | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Shawn Sinclair | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Teresa Powell Waggener | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Thomas Hughlett | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, William Douglas Burton | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, B.J.
