Bye Bye beautiful Mount Pleasant.

I fell in Love with Charleston and its neighboring town over 30 years ago. The people were the nicest and most hospitable people I had ever met. Downtown Charleston was so charming and quaint. Nothing in the world compared to its charm or history. Mount Pleasant was a picture out of a Norman Rockwell painting....a real home town country feel with a picturesque shipping village. The pace was slow and people were considerate. Everyone knew everyone and your neighbors often stopped by to ask how the family was doing. The other islands like Sullivan, Folly and Kiawah/Seabrook were just as beautiful with its natural surroundings. There was never any traffic and skipping through towns like Mount Pleasant, Sullivans Island, Isle of Palms or James Island was easy and effortless with never any traffic. Nature was all around us and it was breathtaking. Let me emphasize the word "was" when I am describing this once beautiful place. It has now disappeared along with the humble people, trees, clean air, and has been replaced with concrete roads, housing developments, fast food restaurants, and more shopping centers. So sad.......
