GREENVILLE, SC (WSPA) – After Tommy’s Country Ham House owner Tommy Stevenson, Sr. announced the popular Greenville eatery would be closing its doors for good in May, many people in the Upstate community have come forward saying they hate to hear that the restaurant is closing.
But maybe not as much as Circuit Court Judge Charles Simmons and South Carolina Supreme Court Justice John Kittredge, who, in good humor, teamed up to issue a “permanent injunction” denying Stevenson’s request to retire and close the restaurant. South Carolina Highway Patrol Commanders Don Dickerson and Joe Hovis served Stevenson with the injunction.
According to the injunction, Simmons and Kittredge said “this matter is before the Court based upon the petition of the masses of patrons and customers of Tommy’s Country Ham House and based upon reputable and confirmed rumors and press releases that Tommy’s Country Ham House will be closing in the near future. For reasons hereinafter set forth, said closure is Permanently Denied.”
As part of their reasons to deny Stevenson his request, the judges said they, along with the restaurant’s patrons and political candidates, would be “irrevocably damaged” by the eatery shutting down.
“That the undersigned judges, both being extremely gifted intellectuals, very popular in the Greenville area, unusually handsome and well-liked, are regular patrons of the Ham House and will be irrevocably impacted, damaged and scarred by said closure.”
We reported earlier that the restaurant — a popular stop for presidents and presidential hopefuls — has been in business for more than 30 years.
A Charleston-based restaurant group bought the property and plans to bring a new dining concept to open in early 2022.
Except of course for Bideb who stopped no where at all as he sheltered in place in his basement throughout the entire primary & election process.

“Really. ??? When you want to retire and you are told no let us know how you like it”
Obviously you didn’t read the article!
I hope Judge Sullivan will get exactly the retirement that he deserves.
Glad somebody’s still got a sense of humor!
Good luck to all!
“He had me until he used “impacted” in this manner. Are we talking about a restaurant or a molar? WHat is wrong with the word “affected”?”
‘impacted’ is more appropriate term.
“I am so old that I recall when impact was a noun and not a verb.”
I really doubt you are that old. BTW, ‘impacted’ is an adjective.
I assumed there would be no conjugation!
LOL
It was a bit of humor from long time friends and customers...

No one’s really sure anymore.
Yup. Same here.

You’re pretty old.
Our family had a favorite Chinese restaurant when I was young, got food from there all the time. The owner retired, and none of his kids wanted to run the place, so he had it torn down and sold the vacant lot.

Yes I did
They are trying to do the same thing in little Lexington here in the midlands. It is barely recognizable from even 10 years ago. Sad.

“Impacted” is descriptive of more serious results than “affected” is. Just IMHO.
“You’re pretty old.”
Older than I expected to be anyway.
