Updated recycling pickup day
The county has changed its pickup schedule, and starting on June 10, 2022 our day will be Friday morning. While this means twice as many days for cans to be on the street, it should make things less congested for the trucks.

Worst damage seen
Dorian visits
Hurricane Dorian followed the same path along the coast that Hurricane Michael did a few years ago, but brought higher winds and less flooding. A quick survey of the neighborhood suggests that oak trees were the big victim this time. No serious damage was noted. No flooding other than some large puddles in the street. Here are a few of the more dramatic trees.

Suicide Merge project is on hold for now

Smoke testing for the sewers
We got a hangtag on the door today advising that Charleston Water System (CWS) will be doing smoke testing in the neighborhood from 23 July through 6 August 2019. As usual this means you might see some white smoke coming out of the ground. It’s harmless, they tell us.
