Another Wall Goes Down: South Carolina Government Overreach Continues

If Smith wants to place blame for the failure of his establishment, he need look no further than the mirror. In an age where I could take my car to a “semi-automated complete” car wash or a “complete car wash” establishment such as Constan, I chose to let Constan do the whole thing – just as long as they were actually doing the “whole thing”.

In the last few years of Constan’s existence, their service quality had fallen waaaaaaay off. It’s obvious that a car wash can be a money maker in that area as a brand new “semi-automated” Time to Shine facility has just opened literally on the other side of the rail overpass.

As far as the drainage issues, I worked for Jackson Camera on Harden in the early ’90s where flooding was not an uncommon occurrence. I work at USC now and we have a drill for flooding along Wheat Street. In fact, flooding in the Five Points area has existed since there was a 5 Points (Groucho’s had issues in 1941 when they first opened, The A&P on the corner of Devine an harden had issue sin 1949) The 5 Points is a basin that drain an even bigger area than Will’s crayon work map shows and it gets worse by the day. More development, without a real plan to address the bottle neck that starts at Maxcy Gregg Park and goes all the way down to the Congaree is only going to make it worse. We already have a Class V rapid forming behind the Carolina Natatorium beside the USC Child Development Center. Whaley at Assembly floods so often that permanent gates were installed to block the intersection off as needed (basically any time it rains hard).
