As American soldiers arrived at Fort Jackson in 1940 to prepare for what soon would become World War II, many were served home-cooked meals by a woman who ran a fruit stand across from a bus station on Blanding Street.
Sadie Tronco's acts of kindness for the soldiers led her to found a restaurant that will celebrate its 75th anniversary in Columbia next week. Villa Tronco is preparing to celebrate its 75th anniversary.
