What the world needs now...
...is another shopping mall on Rivers Avenue near Ashley Phosphate Road in North Charleston (S.C.), one of the busiest intersections in the state. Trident Technical College is selling land for $8.3 million to a Florida developer who plans another mall.

On the port issue, State legislators have a plan to let the Ports Authority build on the South end of the former Naval Base in North Charlestion. This would eliminate building a terminal at Daniel's Island. The plan favors the wealthy who have already invested heavily in homesites on the island. The plan would give the North end of the base to the city of North Charleston, a locale of middle-class and poor residents. North Charleston officials have long coveted the North end of the base where they plan to build a park and recreation area. The deal maker is the State's obligation to build an overpass connecting the South end of the base to I-26, and to build three more overpasses along Rivers Avenue to eliminate rail bottlenecks. Practically all the local politicians in both parties are sucking up to the deal. I recommend North Charleston get the four overpasses underway before they let ships start docking.
