Bobby:
I appreciate your attempt to provide meaningful discussion about Charleston. However, did you forget to have someone proofread your letter?
“Attention to detail” can speak volumes about a person’s character. Maybe you can ask Will to edit your work next time? I hear he went to J-School.
I’m glad you took this opportunity to have meaningful discussion about Charleston to comment on someone’s character. It speaks volumes to yours.
I’ll be damned if that’s not crying uncle.
That check from the Harrells must have cleared
What else, other than alcohol laced vomit and man-boy hottin’-n-hollerin’ s above Calhoun could smell as sweet to a Charlestonian as a dollar passed over the bar?
Just walk around Upper King Street after midnight and then tell me those particular local businesses have “cleaned up” that area.
If you so “desperately miss your home”, then move the fuck back, you whiny little pissant. I’m sure you Charleston law degree will open up countless doors for you.
Tisk…tisk…..SOuth Mauldin…*
Come on now…..THINK..!
Tell Bobby H3 to actually come up your way and plant a flag in Fountain Inn…….his law degree could do WONDERs for the Twin Chimney’s Landfill Methane “skim”…!!
…..0 points and a 10 yard penalty with a pink NFL flag……..
…….think South Mauldin…..you are much better……SO MUCH better….
Dear Robert Harrell III……..(you RASCAL)
Wonder how some Insurance RATES can be “leveraged” to entice a Block “upgrade”..?
Ya know….we wonder……what type of “play” are you making for the Post and Courier SQUARE “vision”..? That is a great “nut”..!!
Ya know…….the workers of SPAWAR Atlantic really hope you take a good look on Google EARTH with what is happening in SYRIA and Iraq and ……Dubai “Portz”…!
We wonder just how many “Meth Houses” are insured by State Farm across our state..?
We wonder who would be on the hook for a METH HOUSE re-sale due to an insurance “sweep”..?
Robert…..by GOD, I hope you get your DAD in a bathroom somewhere and have a nice chat in the mirror with him…!!
In “my day” there were only two areas to avoid. The streets at the foot of the old Cooper river bridge (Jackson, America, etc.) and Strawberry Lane. I had paper routes (New Sand Korea) in several neighborhoods and never felt “threatened”.
Same Charleston that is run by the waterfront that elected to let the navy nuclear shipyard go along with more high paying tech jobs that Boeing hasn’t replaced yet, but Real Estate developers are selling the new Buckhead that is a plasticized and Disnefied pastiche of Chucktown, Souf Cackalacky
And these businesses have brought gentrification. When I attended Bishop England High on Calhoun Street, north of Calhoun Street was rough. The area around the Episcopal Cathedral of St Luke and St Paul was never to be walked through. I remember an OBGYN practice being constructed at 200 Rutledge Avenue, about a block from The Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion where Glenn McConnell attends church, and that was thought to be beyond the pale. Ashley Hall School where Barbara Bush went to school was in a bad area. It is good to see businesses built along King Street and by the Charleston Museum. Charleston has taken off, and is a model for the state. I am sure it inspired the 80s and 90s built out of the River district in Columbia on Gervais and on the West Columbia side. Maybe even Greenville’s Main Street.
Trey is just afraid there would be fewer drunken females in Charleston to prey on.
BS. I have lived in and around Charleston since 1974 (when I moved here from Columbia after graduating from USC). I never felt unsafe even though I lived on Smith St. near the CofC (way north of Broad). This area was a cool place to live with lots of nifty bar/dives and lots of good live music.
Now it’s some sort of sanitized adult Disney World wannabee. Traffic is a nightmare and violent assaults are much more commonplace than they used to be.
