Hi, great website. The Blair House was open as of July when my wife and I had our rehearsal dinner. A very nice place. I was a senior at Carolina in My sister and my girlfriend future wife were juniors. They took me to dinner at Schrafft's later Blueberry Hill? It was a nice place and we enjoyed the meal.

The main thing I remember is that they stuck me with bill. I remind my wife of that from time to time. Had most of my meals on campus and at the Port Hole. My niece was an account with The Blair House for awhile and I would go in every so often and work as hostess for the lunch shift.
