The bill H. 4923 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to honor the memory of Gus Pete Manos by naming a portion of 12th Street in West Columbia as "Gus Manos Memorial Street." This section of the street extends from its intersection with Knox Abbott Drive to its intersection with Jarvis Klapman Boulevard. The resolution requests the Department of Transportation to erect appropriate markers or signs at this location to commemorate Manos's contributions to the community.
Gus Manos was a beloved figure in West Columbia, known for his role as a restauranteur at Zesto, a local institution, and for his long-standing service on the Springdale Town Council. He was recognized for his dedication to public service, receiving the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina's highest civilian honor, in 2015. The resolution reflects the community's desire to honor his legacy of integrity, perseverance, and generosity by naming a street in his memory.
